Bugger!! Well, that screws that idea.
Next plan, get the set off my '94 ZX6R, see how they look and CAD something from there.
Failing that, there's a set on the '91 ZXR400 I just sold, might have to have a go with them.

Are you there?
If so, any chance of having a look, photos of the rear sets?
Thanks,
Andy

Quick thinking Andy! I hope to be there on Sunday, will leave myself a note!
It's bloody hard not racing there this year, seeing all the times on Computime and pics up on FB already. Racers don't always make for easy spectators, I'll still enjoy visiting of course, but I'll also be quietly burning inside that I'm not competing. My mother-in-law is seriously ill so that could scotch any plans to go but she's picked back up a bit the last day so we might be ok.
How' s this for how quickly P6 has taken off at the IC - 1st year in was 2012 and we had about 17 bikes in total across 750 and unlimited.
Last year we had 38 in total i think and 25 were 750's.
This year there are I'm told 34 750's alone! Including the unlimiteds, its oversubscribed.....
Bit of a caveat though - some 400's and odd stuff like an SRX600 have somehow managed to get in to P6 750.....

That would be much appreciated.
Where on Facebook are the pics?
All the best for your mother-in-law.

Andy, sorry but I didn't get down, I was 10 mins away from getting out the door when we go the call to say my mother in law had passed away, so we spent the rest of the day getting my wife organised.

Some progress has been made, mostly stripped and inspected.
Had time for a fair bit of blasting and painting.
The great parts wait has begun

Thanks Troy,
It'd be further along if I could avoid the whole 'work for a living' thing
I sized the rear set mounts when I was home last time, hoping to have the drawings finished soon.
At the moment, I'm just looking at getting pricing on fixed sets, with the foot peg at 30mm back and 30mm up from stock.
