Count me in for a set!

I'm working on a couple things at the same time, while waiting for parts to come in. I'd rather not have to tear everything down after putting parts on. Anyway, ended up just grinding off and smoothing the tabs for the side covers in the middle of frame. Left the center stand tabs, front and...

So, Viet, will all future rearsets have upgraded toe pegs? I actually have a buddy that will be in Saigon in a couple weeks. He will come by your shop to see you and pick up a set for me.

You talking about a flap disc?

Ok, getting ready to sandblast and PC a CB350 frame, but wanted to grind off any unnecessary tabs first. I don't plan to use the center stand, will be installing rearsets and relocating battery behind the seat. I don't want to remove tabs that I may need later, so feedback would be much...

Thanks for the photo!

Sent you a pm. Still have them?

Thanks for the info guys. I'll post some pics as soon as I have one fabbed.

I have a machinist buddy willing to help make a custom triple tree that you can install a clip-on to, instead of clamping to the fork tube. Anyone try making one or seen one done? Looking for ideas so I can start creating a drawing.
