[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 103978, member: 3426"] Well thats what happens when you start making something without a plan. Although I'm trying to keep the weight of the bike down, I wasn't really worried too much about the rearsets. Its a bit of a cake decorating exercise as I'm trying for some sort of vintage look and I think the new anodized CNC stuff looks out of place. Not concerned about weak spots, the foot pegs are bolted through fairly robust steel tabs welded to the frame. I know its supposed to be form follows function, but this one is somehow going to look the way I want and screw the rules. Having said all that drivel, I may change then to something more like the Harris bike above. They'll stay on there for now and I'll see how they actually function. The lever on the shift shaft is short and I'm wondering about that. [/QUOTE]
