Can't find Rear sets for Yamaha CS3 -

Trey Bacon

'Within' and 'Without' aren't opposites. Why?
Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, but I can't seem to find rear sets for my 1970 Yamaha CS3. I don't know if there is a bike similar that I may be able to use the same ones.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You might have to make your own buddy.
I tried to use RD rearsets but it was a no go.
I have a DT250 which came out at similar time as
Your lil scoot. If you find anything i'd love to hear it.

You'll likely have to modify something to fit. The aftermarket will only cater to the popular model bikes. Because it's just not cost effective to make one-off parts for unusual/uncommon bikes.
It's really not as daunting a task as it might sound. And while the aftermarket makes rearsets for my bike (Yamaha DS7/RD250/350), I didn't want to spend the couple of hundred bucks they wanted. So I modified a set of '06 R6 rearsets to fit my bike. It was basically as easy as adding some tabs to the frame and fabricating the linkages ;)
 
+1 to all the above, but why try to fit rearsets to a really old street scrambler that no one modified that way even back in the day?

I'd be tempted to just clean it up and run it as is for fun. If you are really serious about cutting that bike up, check out the TA125 and race kitted AS1/3 models for ideas. They are very small bikes and in race position feel tiny.

I just got a CS3 and the first issue is that if you want to use the rear peg mounts as a the place for the rear set it won't work because they are on the swing arm and will be moving with the articulation of the swing arm....so you need to find a way to mount it to the front of the frame...room on this bike is at a premium...good luck
