Brake-lever Brake-rearset-1 Leftside Rightside Shift-rearset

 

I've had these rear sets on my 750GT for almost 6 years now and have been very happy with their operation and placement.   Note I had my mounting plates anodized black, rather then left aluminum.   These sets are easy to fit, but are not completely bolt on. 

 

On the right hand shift side, they mount in the old foot peg mount, but you must drill a hole in the triangular brace plate for the top mount. Everything else just works.

 

The left hand brake side requires more work.  The left hand side also mounts in the old foot peg mount and again, you must drill a hole in the triangular brace plate for the top mount.  However you must also remove the brake cable stop that is welded on the rear down tube.  This is behind the plate and interferes with the plate mounting.  The stop can be preserved and re-welded on if you go back to stock foot pegs.

 

The other issue is attaching the brake cable.  The provided cable attachment that threads on to the heim joint at the rear set requires removing one end of the cable in order to slide the cable through the hole.   I removed the rear adjustment on the brake cable and used a screw tighten cable stop as show in this picture.

 

You could of course, cut the other end and solder on a new cable stop…this is what I had in the parts bin and it has worked fine for 6 years.
