    rear sets

    Alright, so I was considering getting a new bike and selling my XJ. After looking at a more fuel efficient bikes, then some that would just be fun to tool around on, I decided to keep her and upgrade her a little, and convert her to a cafe racer.

    To that end, I am looking for some rear sets that would work. I assume the XJ setup would be very similar to the XS since the engines are so close. I had seen some posts of people making their own, but I have no where those skills, lol. I think I would need to purchase something that would work, and I could do a little modification if required.

    This was a link given in a past post, would this work?

        Hi Rubin,

        I made up my own with a scattering of bits from other 80's bikes; work really well, and cost almost nothing but time!

          Those look great, but I think my skills are not up to the task of fabricating from pieces, lol. The Tarozzi sets look pretty good, and might require less creativity on my part. Always a plus. Thanks for the input!
