Great to hear about the donations, Viet. I made payment this morning via ebay/paypal, so you should see it at some point.
Also, you mentioned there will be a hole cut for the rear brake switch as well as rubber placed over the shifter. Is this included in mine for i dont see it in the ebay photos? Can't wait to receive them, thanks!
A question to the community.... with a CL350 in mind, what do you recommend for handlebars... clubman or drag bar?
Thanks for the help,
Mark

Hey JGSB.
Had a couple of questions in regards to your rearset install... provided you received the parts and started the work.
I received mine last week and have a couple of questions on the install that either you or Viet can provide guidance on:
1. The bolt to the rearsets when fitted on the rear passenger pegs are too long and hit the side of the rear wheel swing arm. Is it ok to cut off 1/4" to provide clearance from hitting the swing arm?
2. Is only one lock washer required for each side? 4 total were shipped and wasnt sure if I was missing a step of installation.
3. Did not know that this was not a complete install and ready to ride kit. There is no linkage to the shifter rod. I assume that I will need to cut up the original shift lever to connect the linkage to? Does anyone have any idea if there is an aftermarket part taht I could use that can do the same job? I always like to keep the stock parts in case if I ever want to go back to the stock settings and would hate to cut up my shift lever.
Thanks!

Hi Woolsac,
1. You can cut the bolt if you want. I make it quite long in case you need it. If you dont, just cut it to the length you want.
2. The lock washers (2) are spare for you to use in future in case you broke any during the adjustment of angle.
3. You could buy on ebay a shift lever as a reserve. It not a difficult part. So for me, I will cut off the shift lever and weld on that new lever for rearset

i just received my rearsets today. only had a chance to look real quick at it tonight, but it looks like there is no possible way for the kickstarter to clear the brake pedal. am i missing something here? haven't looked at the left side, but i don't recall a linkage for the shifter, so it looks like i might have to cut mine. i'm a little frustrated right now, so i called it a night. lol! also, there was only one page of instructions that only covered a very little bit. how many pages were there supposed to be?

On my CB350, the clearance b/w the brake lever and kick starter just enough and with little care when you kick the starter. However, my kick starter lever looks like a CB450 kick starter and not like a CB350K3 that I have a photo. Could you check on another kick starter for it (CB500T or CB450K for example)
Thanks
Thanks

Please use a CB450 K2 kick starter which has the kick starter boss helps increasing the gap between the kick starter and the frame.

My kick starter doesn't clear the brake lever either. I dont normally use the kickstart for I still have my electric stater installed. Also, I ran into the same issue with the linkage to the shifter. I bought an offset linkage for our CL's off of Dime City Cycle. Issue with that now is that the DCC linkage arm is too wide to fit in the provided linkage joint. I will have to sand down the aluminum on the DCC arm to fit in the joint. Not so much "install and go" as I thought it was going to be.... I'll keep you posted.jgsb1966 said:
