the rearsets thread: options, reviews and pics

[hydra]

hello folks,

i thought i'd start a thread strictly for all the available rearsets for monsters.
please include what monster you have, who the manufacturer is, any details you like or dislike and how the installation went.
Also, how comfortable are they compared to the old set up?

PLEASE POST SOME PICS!!!
here's what i've been drooling over: anyone have them on their S4?

hey monsterman, nice to hear from you...how's the foggy doin?

from the rizoma site they say you'll need an adapter to fit on a bike with a high mounted exhaust like we have. what was your issue?

[vwboomer]

I've got the Satos on my S4R. No fitting issues. Everything went on pretty well. Had them on for about 2k miles and no issues there either. I did loctite all the adjusting bolts and whatnot.
Generally comfortable (with the exception of that 750mi day) and wicked grippy

I'm looking into some rear sets. How much do they usually cost?

[factorPlayer]

about $500 

I'm thinking about a set of Satos myself.... and thinking is all I'll be doing til the bike fund fattens up a bit.

These are the old style non adjustable Rizomas.... Quite nice, IMO.

I have 'em.  I really like the feel and the ease of shifting.

nice..thanks for the pic 

how was the installation? any problems at all?
better position than stock? how tall are you?

[S4ROB]

No problem at all with installation.
I really like the the position. Thay are  adjustable, although not very much. And they come with no heal guard on the right side. You can get one HG5 I believe is the part number. I am going to see if Dan at Kyle will bring me one to MOTOGP. Good people to deal with.

I'm 5' 11

I think they were $550 from MW, +85 for the shift lever.

hey scooby, ZOINKS, that looks nice!

how do they feel compared to the stock sets? i ride mostly in the twisties and more and more on the track. so i use the pegs alot to switch my hips back and forth. my knee's start to hurt during a long day in the twisties. will rearsets alleviate this a little?
