I took another look at mine today and ended up just bending the stock bracket in a bit and then cut the line shorter to avoid kinking due to the higher rearsets. Worked out well!

Can take a pic if anyone wants a look with the rearsets on........

Call me wrong, but I always control the ride with front and rear feedback. Whether it be front brake only or both! Yes I use the rear brake as well.

You will still have plenty of back brake, something we do not really need anyway.

Kay. Only reason I bent the bracket was to get the reservior away from the boot heal when riding. Put's it closer to the pipe though if that worries you. I think it's far enough away to not worry about it.

If ya still want a pic, no problem, but all you are gonna see is a shorter hose and slightly angled reservior. I do like the rearsets though!

Believe or not, these are a set of Vortex knock offs that I picked up for about $230 shipped. Pretty nice stuff actually. Ran about the same as what a set of Woodcraft rearsets with just the eccentric peg mounting making them ajustable, so these have a good bit more adjustment. Also came with two different length shift rods which was nice. I have them set up for between my son and I now. These do NOT have provisions for the brake light switch, but since it is track only, I don't care about that.

Anyways, you can see how close to the reservior they come, so the line had to be cut in order to avoid kinking. You can see how I just tweeked the bracket in a bit also to get it away from the heal area. If you want a shifter side pic, I'll take one Sunday........
