I have to mount them lower and further back as I am 6'5 and need the space. I know I'm probably gonna get flamed by people telling me to get a bigger bike but I live in the uk where projects like this don't come around too often and the price for a similar bike in the USA is a fraction of the...

My Tarozzi rearsets arrived yesterday morning and I will be fabricating brackets to mount them as far back as possible on the frame of my 74 cb500/4 and I had a couple of questions- will I need to fit a brake return spring like the original set up has?? ( it has a rear drum brake). How have...
