I know this thread is old, but this bending of the rear set mount just happened to my ninja. I plan on taking it down to the frame this winter for other work so welding/fabbing a rearset mount is now part of that job.

My question is, is the recessed part where the threads are hollow? If so has anyone cut the whole jimmy out and replaced it with a piece of plate steel? I would prefer to do this method because I can get the same strength and recess the peg more so it doesn't touch down as much. Curious if it's been done and if there are pictures?

Thanks.
