I have been approached by a member wanting to see the rear-sets on my Jackal. May as well post here.
They are based on a hi grade alloy bar from the local Metal Mart, measuring 10x1.5x3/8" ($5 worth+$15 for powder coat). Uses many existing parts. I have used them for almost 10 years with no problem. I weigh 235 lbs. They rear set the pegs 6.5". The first image should give you an idea of the concept. You have to wing it for the linkage (metric sleeve nut with a threaded alloy tent-peg!) The second image needs no comment.
The third image shows the linkage LH/RH threaded adjusters. They are identical so an MG part, but mine cam from a wrecker off a Honda. The position of the balls on the intermediate linkage shortens up the shift lever travel as much as possible. I drilled the lower hole on the outer link for best action. Also added a sleeve nut as a "spacer" between the shift lever and the short outer rod, for a more linear pull.
In the last image: a stopper for "The side-stand from hell". The shift lever is straight bolt-on, but for the brake lever you have to make a pivot from 1/2" o.d. pipe or similar. You may also have to relocate the passenger pegs
Works? Check. Cheap? Check. Simple? Check. Ugly? Check!
