Me again.
I am to the point in my rebuild where I need to decide what to do with the stock foot pegs. I just so dislike the look without the pipes resting within them. I don't intend to run stock pipes. I really would like some rear sets, and they're so pricey, but certainly not out of the question. If there is a less expensive solution, I'd like to hear it.
I remember Chuck's yellow RD, and he had his stock pegs welded to the frame, without all the rest of the assembly. This is an option. Anybody else got any ideas?
Jspooner makes nice rearsets at a reasonable price. He might be able to make some for you. He made some for my 400 but we had a different set up to work with.

Joe Spooner's rearsets or fabricate a straight bar for the footpegs. Think of the same footpeg mounting arrangement minus the loops. It's been done and I've seen pictures somewhere.
No pegs, just hover your foot and shift without any counter pressure. :dawg:

Crashed my 929RR once and broke off the foot peg on that side. It was a long ride home foot hover shifting. :bang:
This is what we ended up with after a crash mangled the shift side of our Tarrozzi rearsets during the Bol d'Oregon.
We dug thru our random foot controls stash and found what appears to be a BMX axle peg (?) and used the Tarrozzi mounting plate flipped over and a stock shifter off of some other bike.
The reach was a bit long, even with size 12s, but we ran half the race (3 hours) like this with no issue. I'm sure you could fab a plate out of 3/8" or 1/2" aluminum with basic hand tools, and adjust as needed to get the spacing you need.
You can flip the shifter over so it's pointing back for more of a rearset position, but the shift pattern will be reversed to GP style.

Something like that would work well, for sure
Brake side will, of course, be more complicated.
I'll also recommend JSpooners rearsets, I'm really comfortable with them. He uses RD350 parts to make them so you'll have to get those to send to him. Stainless hardware, painted, handcrafted, it's a good deal. You'll need to drill and tap the threads for the new pegs, but that's easy. Kickstarter hits the peg so you have to flip it up each time you start, or modify the kicker..
