VFR750 RC24 6X

The Stock VFR footpegs are low and need to go. It's time for some rearsets. This is no simple task as nobody makes any for the RC24 VFR750. There is a very good reason for this: they are asymmetrical. For reasons only known to Honda. After a false start where I made a very tidy little bracket for the left side only to notice that this would leave the right side with no ability to move further forward; I made a start on a bracket for the right side first. I had picked up a set of very cheap Taiwanese rearsets off of eBay which actually look pretty tidy and would save me completely making a set of rearsets which I didn't have time to do a very nice job of.

Changing the swingarm was going to be a lot of work but, conversely, modifying the original for racing then upgrading again later would be a great way of throwing money away so I decided to try and find something more suitable looking. ** Spoilers** I ended up not carrying out the swing arm swap due to not being able to for CRMC eligibility. I am going to leave the process in here however for anyone else trying to do this to their own machine so they can have an idea of what will be required to achieve such a swing rm upgrade. If you're not bothered about this, then...
