Need a new rearset (rear brake peg bracket). Where to find?

LoganCormier · April 28th, 2016, 07:01 AM

I highsided last year and the rearset (the right bracket holding the foot peg and rear brake setup) snapped in half. I'm a dummy so I still rode it, but hey, at least I learned how to max engine brake perfectly. Anyways, what's my best option for finding a cheap replacement? I live in Minneapolis and there aren't many motorcycle salvage/junk places close enough. Should I just keep a close eye on eBay and Craigslist? Are there any good ways of finding 250r's that have been discarded?
If it comes to it, does anyone know anything about these?

Any suggestions much appreciated. Thanks.

I'm also in Minneapolis, have you tried http://www.sportwheel.com down in Jordan?

There is also http://www.cyclesalvage.net/motorcycle_shipping.php they are relatively close and ship to the twin cities.

Good luck in your search, I'm not sure that eBay one is worth the money or not.

If you ever want to go ride, hit me up

Thanks guys. I hit up partsninja and posted a WTB.
I'm going to call sportwheel tomorrow and drive down there if they aren't sure.
I'll definitely try to remember to contact you once my bike is up and running, Trig, but I don't use these forums much. What neighborhood are you in and what do you usually ride?

I'm west of the cities and do most of my riding out here and the NW and northern metro. I'm an old newer rider so I try to stay off the freeways and night rider's until I have my endorsement. Currently on my permit, but used to ride a little bit about 17 years ago, so I'm pretty comfortable riding around and not feel like a total newb. Lol.
