Should I keep stock rear sets or run the Agostini? I have an 1975 850 T that I’m building into a cafe racer, and I’m at the decision point of either staying with the stock rear set or go to agostini rear sets? I already have the agostini lemans aftermarket rear sets, so cost is not an issue, but they look like they need a lot of modifications to work with the 850t. Anyone do this swap? Cheers,
Nathan

There is a cheap and more efficient way to run rear sets on a T (drum brake)

You need two tarrozi footpegs, a saw, a vice, and a torch to bend the stock shift lever. see pics

very much depends on your physiology really.The other factors will be the handlebar height and seat depth if you want the bike to fit you comfortably.With a cut down seat the original pegs are probably too far forward to be comfortable as your knees have to bend too much.
setting up the Agos to suit the inverted foot controls on the T would also be tricky so it might be simpler to start with a fresh sheet and use different after market pegs and levers with home made plates.
