600RR rearsets on a CB175?

[Whitey80]

haven't gotten a chance to measure the ones from the 600RR, they were posted on craigslists in my area for $20. I'm sure I'll have to get rods and all that, but beyond bolting up, the real question is, will the brake side work without welding (I don't have anything to do aluminum) since it was made for a hydraulic system?

I'll take a look at my RR tonight and let you know tomorrow.

When I was at that stage in my build, I bought some CBR1000RR rearsets hoping they would work. They actually bolted up no problem to 2 existing holes. But the problem is just what you said, I just couldn't get it to work because it was made for hydraulic brakes. I actually had it hooked up once, but I had to push down to far on the brake pedal. So mine didn't work, but maybe somebody else figured out a way to do it. In addition, think about where your exhaust is going to go. Mine wouldn't have worked anyways, because the foot brake lever would have hit the exhaust.

I already have CL pipes on mine (they exit left-side at exhaust port level) so no clearance worries there for me. I believe I will just suck it up and spend the $200 on the Motobits parts made specifically for the bike
