Title: Re: 851/888 rearsets on pre -02 Monsters? Post by: 2001cromo on November 26, 2008, 07:10:25 PM I have no FHE, but from what I've seen... Specifically when a person that had an 888 and had purchased a set of S&P rearsets for it, but they turned out to be for a Monster he was desperately trying to sell them because they were putting the pegs in the wrong place. I know that's subjective, but I know he was very clear that they would not work at all where they were. I think they were too high and too forward, but it's been a few years and I could very easily be wrong about that specific.
If it's anything like an old SS, then I've seen people do those and just add a spacer to one of the mounting points to change the peg position. I hope that helps.

Thinkin maybe 851/888 would be bolt-on and better positioned. Title: Re: 851/888 rearsets on pre -02 Monsters? Post by: brad black on November 30, 2008, 03:07:30 AM 888 ones will have the brake master cylinder mount, which you need, and the same mounting holes. 851 are nothing like it - they have a different plate on the frame. apart from that it would be carby 900ss. you might find more stuff for them than for 888.

You see the 35mm the pedal has behind its mount. To clear my pipes pegs would end up an inch or so further out that the Monsters. |
