Hi Guys I am new here. I have a 2007 Monster S4RS that is track only. I am 6'4" tall and a little bit non flexible. After a track session i can barely slide my foot off the pegs as they are cramping. Is there a set of Rearsets that I could actually lower the position a bit. BTW I tried the seating/foot position on the new Streetfighter it was way more comfortable for me. But Heck I don't want a new bike just more comfort at the track , and yes I know It may drag if I go to low.

have you thought about adding an inch or more to your seat?

Depending on how soft your suspension is, your weight and how low you adjust these - they might drag, or not.
There has been some confusion about the parts number for the adaptor part (three different parts to make a set) because the manufacturer mixed up our bikes - and never adjusted their charts.

Correct part number for S2R/S4R adaptor is 051 030300.

You will probably get confused when you research this, but hang in there - ask again to clarify [thumbsup]

I'd be VERY careful about lowering pegs on a track bike... that is a good way to end up on the ground.

At 6'4" you'll have no problem flat-footing the bike, even with another couple inches of seat.

Although a higher seat might make getting your legs gripped on the tank awkward.

If you get the lowered pegs - there's also the option of raising the rear an inch or so to make sure there's no peg dragging. It will make the bike turn in quicker, but on a track bike that won't be much of a problem - quite a few people think it's a good idea, as Monsters often seem to be reluctant to turn. If it becomes too "nervous" there are nice steering dampers to get - and so the never ending modding continues....
