    I followed moo, Mclaren etc's advice and scored some fzr400 rearsets of ebay. I then totally forgot about the little fizzer until I found myself full of christmas pudding with nothing to do, so I mooched out to the shed.
    I've got no idea what I bought, be they from a 1WG, a 3TJ, a 3BF or a 3EN1.
    3EN1 is what they were listed as, but I've seen different versions of each advertised.
    Anyway, from what I can see there are 2 types, one type looks like the std FZR250 items, and the other look like what I've got here.
    The bolt centers are the same, and the actual footpegs on the hangers are the same (can have rubbers fitted or not), but anyone intending to just bolt these on......well you can't.
    The gear shift side is easiest, although it does need a couple of minimum 4mm spacers behind it. Everything else - the shift rod etc, they all fit as the std parts did.
    The brake side strangely didn't need any spacers behind it, but did need the master cylinder to be re-sited, and for that I had to bash out a bracket for it.
    Annoyingly, the top of the 3 mount points on the 400 hanger is about 6mm out from fitting over the lower mastercylinder frame mount. As I don't want to drill the frame I can't think of any way to get over this, so this point is only bolted to the new bracket rather then to the frame.

    Both levers were steel as standard, but are now ally, I weighed the assemblies old and new, but can't find where I wrote it down, but needless say they're lighter.

    40mm up, and 45mm back! If i deck these out it'll be just after I fall off rather then just before!

    that's right, stock items, and as there are about 14 million FZR400's (most crashed by now) in the UK only £15 ($28) per side, for hangers, pegs, levers, shift rod - the lot.
