Wiring done. Got a custom brake line from Spielger’s & the front brake is done.
There is light at the end of the tunnel — should have the bike running next week.
BAS (Bike Acquisition Syndrome) - too many bikes but have room for more
Was organizing my files. Am posting the rearset adapter drawings as they might be useful to others wanting to put rearsets on a T250/GT250/T350.
In addition to these adapters, we used some washers to get the frame mounting points to line up.
hi jab, i hate to rain on your parade [as you lot say], but the dimensions bolt hole to bolt hole can be up to 5mm different, dependent on what mood the crazy jap was when he welded the frame up. i made some [a bit curvier] for one of my frames, then had a change of heart and put standard footrests on it. next bike up, i decided to use the rearset brackets that fitted the first frame perfectly, and they didn't fit, the holes were miles [ok millimeters] out. checked the frame and it certainly wasn't bent. in the end i made some more to fit and saved the original pair. they wouldn't fit the next frame either, but they were a lot closer than #2 frame. you may be lucky, but unfortunately luck doesn't run with me, and find 2 the same. what i do now is make the outer shape, then centre pop where the holes should be, if they don't line up, centre pop where they do line up
cheers, dd.
GTS250 road registered. TS250 engine, Ramair frame.
GT250 big bang road registered. Both pistons fire the same time. USD forks.
GT285 road registered. Overbored - 58mm and TS125 +2 pistons fitted.
GT10 road registered. '65 T10 engine, GT250 frame.
Good point. The T250/GT250/T350 mufflers are one piece & have slightly oblong frame bolt holes to allow for some manufacturing variation.
No luck involved in my case — the dimensions were based on my measurements of our frame.
The adapters were made by a water jet per these drawings. It’s an easy part for them to make for whatever your actual dimensions are.
One should do as we did. Print out your bracket drawing scaled to be the actual part size. And test fit it: Cafe-GT250-208_rearsets by jabcb, on Flickr
