Has a company actually made one the pregen's? I look around couldn't find anything. I did find find some rearset brackets for the newgens by Yoshimura.
Yoshi Brackets for 08+

I know some people actually fabricated their own but its not a documented "how to".
Various pics of homemade brackets.

OPTIONS:
A:
We could see if the Newgen Yoshi bracket would work. Its not too expensive ($90). And It comes with the bolts and the "extended shift rod".
But I am not sure if it will even bolt up to a pregen. Also if it did, how the fitment would be and if we would need the newgen rearset also. I am going to the Kawasaki Dealership tomorrow to do some measuring. Hopefully i'll get some useful Intel.
B:
Fabricate some plates/brackets. It would be much cheaper. Must consider what kind of metal to use and also source a proper length shift rod and hardware.
I wouldn't mind making a couple of sets to try out. But I am not sure what metal and thickness to use. Or how to cut the metal with. lol
