Good source for clamp-on rearsets?

[Sonreir]

As you guys can see from the attached pic, I've chopped off my rear passenger foot peg mounts and so I'm in need of some rear-sets that have a different style of mounting. I've been told there are some types available that clamp on to the frame rather than getting bolted through existing mounts. Can someone please direct me to some resources or perhaps suggest other alternatives that may work for my case?

Thanks in advance,
Sonny

I can't speak for the quality of the Tarozzi's but this place sells Tarozzi rear-sets, which I believe are clip on: http://www.fastfromthepast.com/servlet/StoreFront.

Tarozzi Universals I just got have a threaded, male mounting stud. They could be bolted onto a clamp-on mount of some sort, of course.

Bite the bullet and weld on some mounting plates and touch up the paint, you will thank yourself in the long run

I am thinking outside the box here, but what if you used heavy duty clip on headlights brackets on the rear uprights and use the hole as your mounting point. Just thinking out loud. Never seen before, but maybe?

I'm looking at something like these for my build, I know Greg @ Ohio Cafe Racer's website shows a couple of his projects using the same style clamps.

That's a really bad way to mount foot pegs. Dunstall got around the problem by using half round clips behind a mounting plate. That might work for you.

The middle clamps are the way they made a couple of different mounts work.

What would be the downsides of having clamp on rearsets? The PO of my CB650 removed the passenger footpeg brackets and I'm trying to figure out a solution that doesn't involve welding on a mounting plate.

The potential issue with using frame clamps like the ones on the Ohio bike are they just were never designed to carry the loads exerted on a set of foot pegs. They're adjustable clamps designed to hold static loads like a muffler hanger. Holds 5-10 pounds of weight that just sits there. Now throw 170 pounds of rider that moves around, sometimes putting most of their weight on the footpegs, with the only thing standing between life and death being those clamps, and give it some thought.

My XS650 uses the front foot peg mounting studs to hold a plate for the rearsets. If you can manage something like that on your bike then go for it, otherwise there isn't much better than welding on the plate you need to hold the foot pegs. Clamp ons are a short-cut solution unless they're engineered for the purpose like the old Dunstall units.

Thanks, Tim. Got any pics of your rearset? I'd be interested to see how you set it up.
