I can't believe that someone hasn't copied those. They are much nicer that most of the rear sets out there.
You probably want to go into town, and find a up to date Jap Bike store,
With a full spares department, a clean workshop, and kean young mechanics.
And ask them if theres a Grumpy Old Bloke out in the Hills, who knows how to fix Real Motorcycles.

I would like those for a second Norton project I am contemplating taking on. Pondering...

Bwolfie, are you bidding on these? Every time I bid on something on evilBay, you win it. :D

I was going to, but I have no need for them, we should really coordinate on these things. Similar tastes and all. Great minds think alike.

I also have an unused set of the Hyde rearsets for anyone interested. Installed them and then decided to go the norvil path. PM me for details.

Well, I am looking for rearsets.....Probably going to get the Clubman racing set.

But---- I really would prefer the Dunstall rearsets, with that nice LH casting. doesnt anybody have a set sitting on the shelf?
really really really like those :D

Flea-bay is frustrating and agonizing, and I missed the last set cause I was motocash-broke. (thats when money for motorcycles is gone, but havent dipped into the morgage money yet)

Please consider selling them, its bad enough the stock pegs are so far forward, but I have the interstate tank also which is that much more of a strech for a 6-2 dude.

even used would be fine

" Even used would be fine" No offence but that sounds like you think it's common to find new unused sets. Strangely I do know of someone who has what I asume is a unused set, they still have the lining used as bearings. Never saw that on any of the sets I had as a kid or since. He will not sell them. Madass didn't you replicate a set??? It wod be nice if someone would replicate the Dunstall ones but with bearings of some sort. Good luck motoalchemist. I pieced a set togeather a set by saving a search on Fleabay & watching for the stuff I wanted.
