Hi all, I've been and done that thing when you're doing a complete strip down and rebuild then you get stuck on a part walk away to think about and don't go back till someone asks"how's the build going?"
Well I'm back still got the same problem but now I'm going to ask you all for some help.
I want to ditch the massive rear set brackets in place of an aftermarket one but by doing this the long engine bolts that go through the frame are way too long and as there're shouldered bolts I was wondering if the bolts from a k4 or other would fit and solve this first problem. 
Also due to costs and time I was thinking of giving it a rat look! Thoughts and ideas gladly accepted.
Thanks all.

Hi,
How about asking a friendly chap (or chapess) with a lathe and the expertise to shorten and re-thread the originals? Not familiar with the 750's but presumably you need to shorten them by 2 thicknesses of bracket.
Have you got a 'Men's Shed' in your area? They might have the necessary skills and equipment ( Google 'men's shed') I only know about this rapidly expanding network because I'm involved with setting one up in Orkney.

Hi yozzer, that might be the way I have to go. I know the k4 bolts aren't as long so thought I might be able to go that way.
