hi all ,,,,my name is rob miles we run a cb 500 in thundersport gb, i also run a home machine shop whare i produce among other items rearsets ,,footrests,,,crash bungs ect,,,for the cb 500 padock,, i have purchaced a curvy sv with the intention to race in minitwins in a few meeting next year , increasing the year after that. it willbe my intention to design simple but functional rearsets and crash bungs for this bike as i have done for the cb500, as i am not a professional engineer, ( it is a hobby) i am able to charge hobby prices for our products, it is my intention to move into producing items for the curvy sv if i get enogh interest, at the moment as i have the curvy sv , im not sure what the pointy sv rearsets look like , so have no desighn ideas yet, but im sure i will have soon, i can produce rearsets for cb500 for £55 per set, the sv items are a little more complicated due to the use of linkage ect, but im sure they will be very reasonable , you can veiw our products page on our website at .................WWW.RVRACING.CO.UK. or ring for a natter 07922 014 533,,,thanks for time,,,,,,,,,,yours in sport ,,rob

well i think the sv racing scene is partly based on budget racing like the cb scene,,,,the cheapest rearets for sv"s is £99,, on ebay,,i recon i could do a set cheaper than that at home,,,,,,,,yours in sport rob, have you looked at web site,??

Re: rearsets and crash bungs
 

If you are able to produce rearsets around £60-70 mark that would be great, website is ok, some nice pics.

I think you may have to make them a little more fancy than the ones advertised for CB500 if you wanted many street guys to buy them though.

yea i had £70 in mind anyway,,,they will belt and braces, does what it says on the tin type rearsets, ( like the cb ),, in budget racing thats what you need, as a racer myself i know the value of that, the road riders will want trick stuff anyway, giles and all that stuff, thease items are the stuff that you wont mind to mutch when thet get creamed in a spill,,,,,,,,rob
