Raask rearsets.

[Deleted account 111026]

Does anyone know of a supplier for Raask rearsets for a BMW cafe-racer?
Motorworks no longer stock them and I can't find another stockist.
TIA

Thanks Redboots, I've now located the 2 retailers in England.
I'd Googled 'raask' but the links only took me to the applications list on the Raask website and wouldn't move on from there.
I'm blaming the computer rather than the user!

View before you buy, quality was an issue in the past.....

Design of the rearsets or quality of manufacture?

Shabby quality of manufacture, pot metal, however I haven't seen them recently but do check...

Thanks very much for the information, I've found these on eBay and I've e-mailed the seller for more information.

It will mean making a few parts, but they do look substantial.

They look similar to a "Fast from the Past" (Tarozzi) design. I do struggle with that term universal though. Good luck, they look a bit better than Raask but it's always a gamble....

There was a fellow in Australia making up sets, let me do some googling & If I come up trumps I'll post the details....

Here's his EbAY store, comes highly recommended. He makes top quality kit & will custom make if not on the shelf...

'Universal' means they don't fit anything properly!
I'll wait for the manufacturer's response, they may be near enough to visit.
Cheers for all the input.

I got my Raask rearsets from M&P.

I'm still wondering how the brake arm attaches to the master cylinder which is the only part not completed. In fact, there are better ones on the market.

Thanks for that, I still haven't bought any, I'm using a drum rear brake, so the operating arm could easily be modified.
I think I'll try and have a look at the Raasks already fitted to a bike.
If you've any names for an alternative manufacturer, I'd be interested.

Not cheap but look good.

Not bad, but the price is a little bit higher than I'd like to spend, I don't think they'd be too difficult to make, either.
I've found an Italian company that make a set for the BMW:

They're aluminium and shiny zinc plated, I think the style suits the BMW as well, 186 euros isn't too much, either.
I don't think the airhead looks right with rearsets that look as though they were designed for an R1!
The bike I'm building will have an R75/5 TLS front drum bake, drum rear, spoked wheels, short stainless front mudguard, no visible switchgear and shortened silencers. I'm trying to keep it really simple and clean-lined.
I'm also building a second one with powder-coated alloy wheels, (drum rear), standard switchgear, silencers, etc.
They will both be for daytime fine weather use only, so no need for too many practicalities!
