Rearset compatibility

[brecchi]

Are all rear sets for Monsters compatible with each other as long as they are double sided?   I have a 2001 Monster 900 and Im looking at sets on Ebay for later model 696/796 etc.  Thanks

This will get better answers in Acc&Mods

900 rearsets are mounted on the frame (and engine). 696 a.s.o. are mounted on the swing arm axle (and engine)

Longer swing arm axle on the 900 sounds tempting, but I doubt it'll work mechanically - clearances and free movement?

M400, M600, M620, M695, M750, M800, M900, S4, and M1000 are all compatible.

S2R, S4R, S4Rs, S4Rt are different from the above.

M696, 796, 1100, etc are different from the above.

If you don't need exhaust supports and/or passenger pegs, that changes things a bit.

Thanks for the explanations.  Plenty to work with now!
