    Rearset adapters?

    Has anybody ever made such a thing? There are lots of adapters out there for brake calipers and the like, and lots of different types of sportbike rearsets. Why not make a set of adapters for a set of YZF600 rearsets? Nothing outrageous, down one inch and back 2??? Go on eBay and pick...
