Adapt a set of rearset footpeg assemblies off a sportbike. It involves welding some mounting points onto the frame tubes.
83-85 GPz750 rearsets work pretty well, just have to make a mounting plate to weld to the backside of the frame tubes, and the angle and position work pretty good.

Welcome to the site, Johnny.

Johnny, check out the post about the GS swingarm on KZ and you will find a post by baldy110 with pic's from his bike for some ideas. Its in the chassis section.... Wayne

Hey Johnny, you can either buy some Tarozzi or Raask rearsets if you're willing to spend $200-300 or fabricate something yourself. It can involve welding new mounting points but you can get decent results just swithcing the pegs left/right and flipping them upside down. This is what I did, and the only welding required was shortening the brake lever. I used a Katana shift lever and some misc bits from unknown bikes to rig up a shift linkage and some alloy sport bike pegs.
Here's a useful thread, and follow the link in the third (?) post to guitargeeks homemade setup kzrider.com/component/option,com_joomlab...atid,5/id,6901/#6901

I'll get them here soon ..Thanks for the link
