-Brake pedal return spring, included or even needed, I've never looked at one of these Brembo MC's.
-Brake light switch mount? I can live without it but others might fuss.
-Heel plates, included? and aluminum or carbon? (maybe upgrade $)
-Is the price is still on or near the original target? (estimate, not expecting firm quote)

The adjustable stopper finger in the model will come loose vs. the way the one in the photo is mounted but it looks like there is enough room to turn it around. (unless it's a left hand bolt :smt002 )

...and thanks a bunch for getting back on this. I'm in no hurry but these fit my needs nicely and affect how I rework the frame on my hybrid.
RuZty,

No return spring required
Will need to buy a hydraulic switch if so inclined
Heel plates as you can now see are alloy for this first run, CF is possible in the future
Price is to remain close to the same as originally indicated on this first run

Thanks
Pete

A couple more pics of some of the test fitting. So far, everything is perfect :smt023

Nice, thanks for the answers, and the pics answer the one I forgot about whether there were bushings or bearings. :smt023

All parts are now complete except for the main plates. Main plates are machined on the outside surface but additional tooling is needed to get the inside surface finished. Almost there :smt023 :smt023

Thanks Pete

I would love to improve my riding position from stock, especially since I have clip ons. But I wish I could also keep the utility of passenger pegs for those rare occasions, like the Tarozzis - although, I don't like what I've heard about them.

Peter, any ideas on how to make something like these passenger compatible? My RZ is currently in the shop, so it's hard for me to picture what's possible, and I just thought I'd seek the opinions of the great folks here on this forum. Perhaps an extension could be mounted to where the "T12 Tech" plate is mounted in the CAD drawings. I don't know what's possible on the other side. Or, I don't know if this would be totally ridiculous, or possible to mount the exhaust with a foot peg. Just a crazy thought. I would also love folding foot pegs. Thanks in advance for any ideas, and keep up the good work Peter! :smt023

Main preproduction plates right out of the T12 Tech shop. These are the final pieces of the puzzle. Look for assembled prototype pics very shortly and we will do a test on the Rz ASAP. Save your pennies gents, these are going to be great. :smt023

Thanks
Pete

Thanks guys, we are very happy with the product. As soon as they arrive to my house I will get them on a bike and give you guys the rundown. They will be tested by 3 other guys so there will be unbiased reviews. If everything pans out, I'll be looking for the first run of ten sets to be made at the $399.00 price. Price will go up after the first production run. First run will be anodized black or silver or any combination of both.

Thanks Again

Pete

It would be awesome if you made a kick start level to go with these.

If these work out, we have a few other ideas as well as side stands.

Thanks

Thanks Larry
The rearsets have been cleared by customs here in the US. They will be at my shop any day now and I'll get them on a bike ASAP. A few test rides by a few different riders and if they pass the tests, they will be ready to order. I'm thinking by the end of next week.

Stay tuned
Pete
