Exploded view of Rear sets...

yEAH, LONG STORY SHORT, i WANTED A NEW BIKE, BUT MY FINANCIAL ADVISOR(aka MY WIFE) SAID NO... SO NOW i'M DOING THE BEST i CAN WITH WHAT i HAVE TO WORK WITH... tHANK GOD i'M A MACHINIST... i KNEW BEING A BLUE COLLARED BUM WOULD COME IN HANDY SOMEDAY! ;)
 
hell ya it does man! i am intrested in a set of these rear sets man! i really like them! maybe we can work out some type of trade off where i can powder up the set you have and send them back to you in exchange for a set? i am digging them... ha ha ha ha and after i spent all that time getting mine how i wanted them!
 
sounds good... I'll start scrounging around for aluminum..
Like I said, my biggest problem is getting on a lathe to turn the pegs... I'm a programmer nowadays, so getting out on the floor to do my own stuff is getting harder and harder...
I am working on a new design though... They'll be adjustable like the MOTO Bits ones that are pictured in the first page of this thread...
 
cool man! take your time i am in no rush... i have enough to get the bike rocking as it is... but would really love a set like this that is for sure! if you want to send out yours now man go ahead... just let me know what color you want... i can do ANYTHING... and i mean that! from chrome to black and everything in between! lots of cool colors out there including dorment high flakes and more... or if you have an idea let me know i do alot of dry mixing and make my own colors and flakes every now and then (my frame on my cafe)
 
Sweet... I'll hafta look into colors... I wont be painting til next winter, but my plan is to go for the brightest, craziest, most vivid yellow that I can find...
Not sure how the powder coating works, do I need to press the bearings back out?
 
ya... unless you feel that they can take 450 degrees without running out (oil or grease coming out) if they are sealed then they will not take it the plastic seal will melt. if they can take it though i will just tape that section off before shooting them and mask it off when i media blast them as well... i also have a large overhand press to get them back in... or there is always the good old hammer and block method
i have a caution yellow it is called... just BRIGHT as hell!
I used it on this guys spokes... dude powder coat is super tuff! i can do them now and when you paint your bike they will look like brand new.. i would do the linkage in the caution yellow and the rest in a wet black or maybe a 40% semi gloss black to make the linkage yellow REALLY pop!

For any of you guys that have been following this thread... Here's the rest of the build so far

As promised, here's a dimensioned view of the rearsets... hope it helps, let me know if you need more info

nice! Pop yours off and drop those suckers in the mail... let me lay some pow pow on them!
As soon as I can... Gotta do some rework on the shifter side... Thanks to my exhaust, I cant quite get my toes unders the shifter side toe peg right.. Just barely catching the corner... I'm gonna turn a longer peg and that should clear that issue up...
Hopefully I'll get her out for the maiden voyage this weekend... :)
 
If you are building rear-sets for pull rod rear brakes the most challenging aspect of the design was transferring the brake pedal motion to the rear brake drum without a loss of efficiency and feel as there is so much offset between the two levers. Here are a couple of photos of my set up and it works great.

Hope it helps

What Jimmy has done basically recreates the original brake pedal spline shaft and lever that the brake rod would normally attach too, but instead of linkage being used to rotate the shaft, it's directly connected to the footpeg which is great.

I was reading his thread yesterday... I love it. I was about to start machining my new design tonight, but I think I'm going to hold off and see if I can incorporate this into mine... Just gotta figure out how to make it work with my bike. I'll have to build a new mounting plate as well..
 
Shit... the only way it would happen is if I can move the battery... I think I'll stick with my original idea and change it next winter when I tear her down and redo some stuff...
 
Nevermind... I just got a better look at his installation photos... I just might be able to pull this off....
 
PaulTSmith Bracket!

Thanks to paultsmith! We made a brake lever for an Enfield. The toe peg looks a little chopperish though. Well the outcome was good and decided not the bend the lever to get it outwards. Made them out manually, without a CNC machine.
