As long as the original is the same distance or more. If it's less then you wont fit it into the cast cutout section of the frame

Hmmm just rang my G/F to check the ZZR and it's 50mm bolt centers on one side and about 55mm on the other! :shock:

Well, short of milling the frame (Not recommended) theres not a lot that can be done. You could make a bracket that mounts them slightly back from where they are now and have it in line with the frame edge maybe?

piece of piss - just knock up an adapter plate out of 8mm ali plate. It only needs to be about 20-30mm wide, with correct bolt spacing of 50-55mm between front bolts, and 78mm at the rear. It will *not* be a rectangular shape, more like a trapezoid.

You can then customise the position of the rearset footpegs to be *exactly* where you want them to be. All you need is a cardboard template of the basic pattern, a sheet of 8mm ali plate ( check your local ali supplier, they may have pieces in the 'crap' bin you can get cheap), and a jigsaw with a metal blade. You may need to make up a couple of sets to get the peg positioning perfect, but its real easy to do.

AussieNinja had a set of 'footpeg hangers' on his old ZX6, basically they just moved the standard pegs back and up about 20mm each way. Exactly the same concept.
