Sorry if this has been covered before but, why did the rearsets need to be modified to fit the CB? were they made for another bike originally or?

I dig the new exhaust

Thanks E11even,

The Sato Racing rearsets were made for the CB and are of very high quality, however they are designed to mount to the stock, trapezoidal shaped footpeg/passenger peg brackets. You don't have to modify them, but I wanted to tuck the new exhaust as tightly as possible to the bike, which meant the brackets had to go.

It was an easy choice for me; those brackets are pretty bulky, and I didn't like how that bump out looked from the front or back, and wanted it cleaner and more streamlined, and for the exhaust to follow the lines of the frame. The fabricator was able to mount the left side rearset with no plates at all (bolted directly to the frame) and the right side required a small bracket to be fabricated to mount the rear brake master cylinder.

You can see in the pic from the front that the exhaust hugs the bike closer than stock.
