9. FANCY FOOTWORK

Along with the handlebar gear in the same box came the rearsets.
Nice ally folding pegs & ball bearinged adjustable brake & gear levers.
Thing is, on a CX500 the gearshift operates sideways,which means it will need a bell crank to turn the action 90 degrees.
So first I cut down the original peg mounts then welded on a plate to form the fulcrum point.
The rearsets bolted right up.
Next I fabbed up a double rose jointed m6 rod,an alloy bell crank and another gear lever for the gearbox spline.
Here's the results:
