Motobits CB350 Rearsets

Been Around the Block
I know a lot of people ask about CB350 rearsets and invariably the answer is to adapt some CBR900 controls or cobble together something with a bandsaw and a file. Well, motobits is now making a really nice set of adjustable rearsets for the CB350. So if you're like most people and don't have a garage full of fabrication equipment and you value your time (wife, kids, job, other interests) then these motobits rearsets look to be an extraordinary value at $210.

I put motobits rear sets on my CL175. They couldn't have bolted up any easier, and the quality is unreal. Worth every penny.

Well, if you only paid $200 for the bike, then you saved a bunch of money for rearsets. See, you just have to get your thoughts the right way around!

I can't stand that attitude. Are you going to go dumpster diving for used tires since your bike is essentially worthless? There's frugal and then there's cheap bastard.

It's not an attitude. It wasn't a slight against you I understand sarcasm doesn't read too well via the internet.
Also I got a sweet deal on my bike hardly think its "worthless". I got my bike cheap since it wasn't running and my friend cut me a pretty good deal on it. Since bikes in this area can fetch any where from $700 non-running to $1250 and up running.
There are also lot of folks on here who fabricate a lot of their own parts; seats, tanks, and even rearsets. There is nothing wrong with buying a set of bolt on rearsets but you should hardly put someone down for not wanting to drop some good coin
on something the want to build.

Are you able to use your brake light switch with these rear sets?

I've only seen one rearsets for vintage bikes that have a brake light switch mount. It's up to you to fab something. I also like incorporating a return spring for a snappier feel.
 
I have CB160 rearsets from Motobits on my CL175 - they bolted right up and work great. While there isn't a pre-fabbed brake light switch hole, it's pretty easy wrap the spring around the lever.
 
does anyone have these on a CB360? looking to get these, i'm sure they will fit but a little mock up never hurt either if they don't just rather be 100% if i'm dropping 200 bones, thanks

Contact the owner of Motobits (Brett or Brent, cant remember) - he'll work with you to find out if they fit.
 
Got mine today. These will go on the nice bike, thus relegating my homebrew setup to backup / beater bike.
