the title says it all...
is there sucha creature out there that'll replace the stock sets on the 85 1100?
Not that I have ever heard of. Maybe something new has cropped up...anyone?
Theres an Italian Company that makes rear sets for the FJ they are called Tarozzi, heres a link to the UK site dont know if you can get them in the US though.

Adam, oh yeah! I forgot about those! So - do you happen to know about how much they raise your pegs up AND back? From the photos I would guess about 1 1/4 inches up and 2 inches back?
Thats spot on Marsh, i find it much more comfy ride.
Adam.
Adam - just for reference, about how tall are you?
I have a set of those kicking around someplace..They came with the bike. Although never have been able to find a company that sells parts. They are in need of a few things before they are usable.
Hi Marsh, I am 6" but I only have 32 inch inside leg.
Adam.
There is also a company in Germany that advertises in eBay.... (though they are not there at present)..... the same mob that do the modified tail section for a single seat, and full fairings also..
But they are expensive!

I remember seeing the tarrozi rearsets when I had my fj 20 years ago and they were 225-350 back then
so they only replace the original pegs, but i see the whole monster bracket is still there... :dash1:
guess i'll just have to modify the stock foot rest to accept and aftermarket peg :mail1:

I'm sure you realize that's 129 pounds which, in dollars, is +/- $941.27. :shok:
Mind your exchange rates!!

PS. the above exchange rate conversion was an intentional exaggeration -the last time I made a joke like that, someone actually called me out on it, although to be fair, I think it was over in yahoo land...

FWIW, these days the exchange rate is floating around $1.60/pound.

xe.com is very handy for keeping track of that sort of thing.

hello Mr Smith,
I sell and ship to the USA with pleasure. Cost is dependant on the weight of the parts involved but as a rough approximation you would expect to pay about £26 - £28 to ship.
Thank you for your enquiry.
