Advice on fitting the Monster to my rapidly aging body. Legs cramping!

I have a similar desmo times peg lowering bracket for my ST4 and the small drop in the peg makes a massive difference. I'm going to make a copy for my monster.

Do you notice a ground clearance issue at all?

No issue with ground clearance.
The shock and forks are not OEM, ride height is ~20mm higher than it would be with properly sprung OEM parts.

Also, did you just have the bracket made up at a local machine shop? I believe something similar would work for me.

I made the brackets.

Do you see any problems with adding a similar bracket to my setup to lower the rearsets a bit? The previous owner added  rearsets, I believe, to accomodate the added high mount pipes. So, if I use a similar lowering bracket, I will not have a third mounting point as with the stock setup (by the passenger peg).  My bracket would just mount on the two primary bolts above the rearsets.

A similar bracket will work.

A good friend has a set up like that for his bike using OEM Supersport rearsets.

Some Aftermarket rearsets use the lower mounting point similar to the Monster peg/exhaust 'bracket'.

Pics of what you have would help.

The usual Monster aftermarket rearsets only hang from the two top brackets.

That's the way the ST4 rearsets are, and they seem to work fine with the lowering brackets that pitbull referred to.

Alrighty then.
