Hello to all, this is my first post on the forum. I own a '78 SR that I've had since new(late '79). Several modifications have been done over the years, but one I haven't gotten done to my satisfaction is the rearsets. After a couple variations mixing stock pieces with off the shelf materials, I'm going to breakdown and buy a premade set. Any opinions or experiance on the SpecII sets I've seen for about $150 US? Also if anyone knows of a better brand or has a set they're looking to sell. -Thanks

Well, that's about the worst web site I've ever seen, so I'm guessing their parts probably suck too. How do you sell rear sets and fairings without a single picture? My guess is you don't.

All though Spec II doesn't show a photos or their rearsets, if I remember correctly, they are Raask rearsets. IE: not really worth the material used to make them.
I'm sure there are others out there at a decent price, Maybe some of the other guys here will have some recommendations.
Now, I will do a shameless plug. I am in process of designing and building some rearsets that I am hoping to sell in the $250.00-$300.00 range. Cheaper than alot of others out there but still good quality. They will use a stock SR master for the rear brake and the shift pattern will be able to go from a normal pattern to a race pattern very easily. Fully adjustable shift linkage with rod ends (no clevises) and the pedals pivoting on bearings, not bushings. A drum brake version will be in the works also. As soon as I get them done, I will post pics and have a final price. I still need to work out the cost of materials and the time involved.

I'm not sure where I've seen a picture of them, but if I remember correctly it wasn't a very good or detailed one. I also thought it odd that you couldn't bring up a picture on their site. Thanks for steering me away from the junk(Raasks), so I don't waste my time and money.

Just my experience... I bought the Spec II... didn't like the quality at all, and took a long time to get them. They are in a parts bin and not on the bike. LSL are the hands down best quality I've found for off-the-shelf parts. That's what is on my '79. If you can't craft your own, LSL's are awesome.

Thank you jeffz and hopwheels for your information. Unfortunately while the LSL's are gorgeous, they are out of my price range(well, with out the wife noticing). The Tarozzi's maybe closer to what I can get away with. Thanks again for the time to reply with your experiances.
