Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

I'll be damned. Looks like one could use that to get those style rearsets on a Monster.

They are dirt cheap.

Not exactly.

Monster frames don't have the part that drops down to the swingarm pivot for those tabs to be welded onto.

Oh, I definitely see. yeah, not going to be able to do that. how often are these tabs breaking off of people's bikes I wonder?

If you use solid mount footpegs on the superbikes and hit the ground it is quite likely you'll end up with a bent or broken tab. This is why their new rear sets have folding pegs and they now offer the frame tabs!

Awesome find.  I need a set of those.  My tabs look like the after photo.
