They do look nice but I was going to put rearsets on my S2R so I asked the local Ducati shop's technician (who owns mutiple ducs and races them) and he said in his opinion he would not put rearsets on a monster.  He said they make the riding position very uncomfortable.  A lot of people on this forum have them installed so I'm sure someone will disagree with me!

The effect should be and is usually opposite of that actually as most rearsets are adjustable to suit the rider, this includes the ones the OP posted.

you can look at the style and performance rear sets at desmoworks (at left) they are in the same price range and look better IMO.  I have no FHE with either

huh?   If you like where the stock pegs are on YOUR bike then great.   If not, then move them.   why would you listen to anyone else about what is comfortable for YOU.

move them down and forward...move them up and back....don't move them...riding position is personal.

adjustability is good.

was not looking to move them due to comfort reasons.  Just like the way they looked.  As I have never ridden a bike with rearsets before I thought I would ask the mechanica his personal opinion as he has ridden a plethora of bikes with rearsets.  So as I stated before, this comment was his opinion.

Statler, do you have rearsets installed on your Monster S2r?  Do you like the position they put your feet in?  I value your opinion as I may still get some for me.  [thumbsup]
