I've decided to go with R6S rearsets as they're the simplest, cleanest and easiest to mount. Every other option looked like a high school machine shop bodge up to me!

All I need is to weld one small tab on each side for the upper bolt, and cut a new tab for the exhausts on each side which will use the existing 8mm bolts.

Will post photos once I'm done. Just waiting for the R6S parts to arrive from Ebay.

Send photos please Rodyena!

Rodeya, did you keep the stock muffler hangar bracket?

Does anyone have a link to (or the photos of) the project bike that was on the old version of this website where the owner had mounted R6 foot controls on an RD400?

I seem to recall he'd had to weld tabs onto the frame to make it work.

Help!

Anyone have experience with these rearsets from Accu-Products?

They look nice and clean, and I like the simpler master cylinder setup.

Also, is there any other way to mount the chambers, other than by keeping the stock muffler hangar brackets? I've got Spec II racing style chambers and really don't ewant to keep the stock muffler hangars...

This is for a street bike so being able to run without a bettery, yet still power lights is a plus. How tricky to install the VAPE setup? Who sells the HPI setup?

Looking at options for my 1977 RD400C. Not a stock rebuild but a custom Steve baker replica with seat/tank/swingarm from CMR Racing, R6S 43mm forks, etc....

Dyna S or Vape?

Pros and cons for each?
