Default XR Rearsets

Fellas,

As some of you know, working on making my bike more of a cafe and have been looking at various rearsets available. I was wondering though, would the XR rearsets fit regular sporties? (08 Nightster).

I've looked at Storz, Chainsickle, Sato Racing, and a couple others but I like the Storz or the Sato's the best, but I also like the stock XR ones...

Cool idea, would love to see them on the bike once you get them set-up.

I'm have the Storz rearsets on my XR and have the stock set sitting on a shelf. You're welcome to come over and try them out for fit if you like.

Let me know and we'll organize a day that works.

Cheers,
-Jack

Thanks for the offer Jack! I might just do that.

If the XR already has rearsets, curious to see why you switch them out for the Storz? How is the quality? Happy with them?

Jack, do you still have those XR1200 rear sets? I'm looking for a set if you were to want to sell them. Thanks!

It may take some work. But with the right skills and tools, anything will fit.

i asked my dealer about this and we actually broke out a measuring tape and did some measurments to see because i was thinking of doing the same thing. They should mount up to where the passenger pegs go. The only thing that didnt look like it would work was the exahust position, but with the right exhaust set up it should be fine

There's some "universal" rearsets on ebay for around $100. They even look pretty cool.
