748 748r Light Refurb, Well, It Started That Way.....

@West Cork Paul couldn't you just make some spacers up??

@Expat Jack Yeah it was an awesome bike!! Absouluty concours and banging out 130bhp.

 

Out of an old sprocket perhaps?

 

I did look at that, it needs a 20mm offset on the gear lever side so as to clear the swing arm but that also moves the gear lever out of line with the gearbox spindle and at the time I couldn't work out how to affix it. I will revisit the situation.

I presume no one likes them then

 

They look alright when they're on as the bike's yellow but I can see I might just be in the minority on this .

I wish mention of that GBMoto site hadn't been brought up as well, there's some nice stuff on there.

 

@West Cork Paul, space the rearsets out then add a spacer between the rearset and rose joint on the gear change shaft.

 

Thanks for the invitation to call in and see the old girl the other day. I have to say, she's looking gorgeous - a tribute to your attention to detail (or OCD!) and determination. Great work on the carbon fibre bits especially.

 

Yeah... and what about the bike? I mean this is supposed to be a bike forum

 

Jack the pimp.

 

The Ducabike rearsets on the 748R fit straight up without fouling the swingarm and are understated in style but a quality item

 

Have you got any detailed photos of the positioning of the gear change rod at both ends mate?

I fitted my Ducabike rearsets and couldn’t get it right

 

Thanks mate! Would be a massive help.

I gave up in the end and decided to tackle it next year lol

 

Any help is good for me at the moment. That gear set has been in more positions than Katie Price!
