What rearsets for cb550k?

[Ryan66]

Got a 76 cb550 and wanna put on some rearsets. I guess im looking for answers on what model rearsets to use and which ones take the least amount of fab work even though im sure i could handle it!?

These are the rearsets on my CB550K they are mounted where the rear passenger pegs go. I had to fabricate a longer brake rod, buy a new brake arm (from a CBR600) and I converted my back brake rod to cable operated.

They are a universal classic rearset that I picked up from Ebay France. So the Dime City ones would do the job just as well, I just liked the fact they I could adjust the back plates on mine to really get things in the right place.

I used 2004 R1 rear sets, but fab on the frame was more than i cared for. rear brake is nice tho, because it has a mount for the brake light switch built in.

gotta be careful with the kick start tho. i didn't even consider it, as i built them without the engine installed, and its real close. so unless your aware of the closeness, it doesn't feel good.

cheers
