Looking for rearsets for a pre-2000

[A.duc.H.duc.]

if Rizoma would said that the rearstets would fit a pre 2000 monster and someone would buy it and had also had to buy an other bracket what would happen
The buyer would be pissed and would open a topic about this
I know that it is easy to get an other bracket ,but some people make a lot of noise when something like this happens
And topic starter wanted to know why the where listted as 2000+ ,i had the answer ,and i don't like the "this is utter nonsense" remark

I don't think that was a shot at you. Good work on figuring out what the difference is. I think he was saying Rizoma should just note what it takes to fit a pre-2000.

^^^ Exactly.

?? I don't know why you don't like that remark, its directed at Rizoma and their decision to change the product listing for their rearsets and they deleted a spacer from the kit - it wasn't directed at you, relax.

just installing rizoma rearsets now -- looks like i'll need to get a new sidestand bracket

why isn't there a 24-hour ducati-parts store in my area? or just one open between 10 pm and 2 am when i do all my work

scratch that -- side stand went on just find with a little elbow grease. rear sets look sweet. only problem i'm having now is i can't get the back break on, but i never use the back break anyway...

rear brake master cylinder?  attach before mounting rearsets to bike.

okay, so i LOVE the way the Rizomas look, but i have a problem on each side. the clutch side first:



how much better does that look than stock? a billion? yeah. but the idiot light for the side stand now does not turn off. it stays on. even if the side stand is clearly up. not sure that matters at all, but there it is. much bigger problem from the brake side:



so, like i said, the rear brake totally doesn't work. and i totally don't care. i'll get it fixed some day, but i don't ever use it ever. much worse than that is that the brake LIGHT now doesn't work. at all. it doesn't even work as a running light. it just gives me these crazy, random flashes. it's a vizi-tech light and was awesome before this:



sweet, right? but i think i need to finally break down and take it to the mechanic. or maybe bernard can tell me what's wrong with it. probably one of the two aforementioned issues though...

Sounds like your rear brake light activation pin is not oriented properly. 

There's no way to fix your sidestand light - that's just the nature the older style sidestands that use the parallel-to-the-ground mounts instead of the semi-vertical mounting orientation and its very different side-stand idiot-light activation.
