Rizoma rear sets on an M1100

[Tony1100]

I have a set of Rizoma rear sets on their way and wondered if anyone has fitted any and have any tips on fitting. Cheers

Yes I have. Easy enough with just a few tools. Allen keys a couple of spanners and the bigger socket or spanner for the be careful alumium soft bolt. You really need to do with a singlesided paddock stand and remember the side stand will be loose at some point and thats whu you need it.
I will say this though. Everything IS STRAIGHT FORWARD. Take the old stuff off and reassemble the nuts bolts so as not to lose them. The braket they supply for the rear brake reservoir is not really tall enough and you will probably have to either lose an inch off the pipe or remake the bracket an inch longer like I did otherwise it will have a big kink and possibly rub on swingarm. I made one out of carbon fibre because it looks smart and I had some. Just look at the position of the gear linkage and photo it or mark end with pen to put somewhere back near.
The rubber bushes push out but be patient and use something not sharp. A bit of washing up liquid will help them go in the new assembly.
Adjust them to feel comfy and enjoy the new position.I do and got pillion ones too.

Ps a bit of LOCTITE on threads

You can just see the carbon bracket on top picture. Also if you had pillion pegs you wouldn't be able to top up reservoir but these come of with just 2 bolts each side. They also have a new engine bolt too.

Thanks Albie. I've got a paddock stand, so that should make things easier. The tip on the brake line is very useful. Cheers.

Its only a rubber hose but they dont seem to have realised when they shifted the cylinder up it would kink it. Snells cut Walpoles hose down to sort but I wanted it one to look good and two to not have to get another one and possibly drain and bleed to go back later to standard.

Pm me if get stuck but you will be fine mate.

Just for info the carbon fibre was cut on a tile cutter and all I did was mask taped it and drew the bracket on and lengthened about 20mm. I can measure for you tomorrow. Cut and trim with fine needle file and drill 2 holes. I also swapped bolts for stainless roundhead allen bolts

Thanks again Albie. Where did you get the piece of carbon from?

It was a number plate hanger. Well bit off of one. Get stuff off ebay. Doesn't have to be too thick. 1-2 mm is ok

Finally got around to posting some pics of the rearsets, now that they're on. Very easy to fit, so thanks for all the advice.:yoparty:

Went out for the first time with them at the weekend and they felt really good. Also fitted Rizoma indicators at the front and ASV levers. Must stop spending now...
