Diamond rearsets... HELP!!

[daz_d_biker]

Erm, well I went to fit my rearsets to my bike a few weeks ago, and the brake pedal doesn't line up with the master cylinder AT ALL!

I also can't seem to find the Diamond Race Products website, even with the aid of google!
Heres some piccies:-

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm rushing around trying to get my bike ready for a trackday next saturday!

Cheers, Daz.

Use the nuts to adjust the length of the bit sticking down from the brake unit.

what he said^^^^

the bit the screw attaches to you should be able to unscrew it and therefore making it sit lower and getting the pedal sit higher.

[daz_d_biker]

the sticky downy bit is at full unscrewdedness I might just have a bit more threaded bar welded onto the master cylinder.
Even still, the master cylinder isnt at the correct angle for the pedal when the pedal is in the right position, shown in the quick doodle below:-

Cant you flip the pedal over? (So the part with the screw points up, not down)

[daz_d_biker]

Wouldn't have thought so, as the pedal is all shaped and curved so it fits right that way. It may be possible they aren't actually for an rvf or vfr they do fit on though!

I'd of thought about swapping the part that mounts onto the frame over with the other side, this should raise the peg/lever up higher. (think)

EDIT: looking at the first picture can you not just mover the top screw on the adjustable bit forward one place? that might line up the bolt as it'll make it higher?

the adjustable brackets that mount to the frame are on the wrong sides

sorry to bring up this old thread, but i recently installed the same rearsets and I just thought i might contribute...

this is how i hooked up my master cylinder:

the operating lever is at a really odd angle though, and i sometimes have difficulty reaching it.

Thank you months after I ask the question I get an answer! I still havent fixed it... I'll make a bracket at work that'll make it fit or something. Stupid rearsets.

Daz, looks like you could fairly easily make a new bracket to replace the one on the bottom of the plunger.

yep, i had to bolt the master on the outside, that's the only way i could get it to align with the lever. its just a temporary workaround, but i'll see if i can mount it any better.

Are you positive you can't adjust the length of the rod coming out the bottom of the master cylinder? It looks to me as though there's a locking nut and an adjuster nut.
