Hey guys! I recently picked up a '98 M900 and am looking for some adjustable rearsets as my legs are rather long and the stock configuration makes upshifting pretty difficult. I've done a lot of googling and found a bunch of different options but most of them either seem to be defunct or the information is too conflicting for me to be comfortable pulling the trigger. For example, I've seen that 1999 models use the same fitment as 1998 models or rearsets made for the 900 SS also fit the M900 but the manufacturers say otherwise. It seems like the only definitive options are Ducabike and Rizoma. I don't really want to spend $700+ on a pair of rearsets so Rizoma is out. I'd also like to be able to have passenger pegs. I think the only relevant modification is the Leo Vince hi-mount pipes. I understand the solution may not necessarily be completely plug-n-play and I'm fine with that. I'm comfortable with just about any labor short of completely fabricating my own rearsets.

Here's a picture of my bike: http://i.imgur.com/ZcprteZ.jpg

Was hoping to get some up to date info here. TIA!

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

Nice, thanks!

I already looked at Danmoto but for some reason I could only find their 99+ 900SS rearsets. They don't have passenger pegs but they look like exact replicas of the Rizomas so I'm guessing, worst case, I could use the real Rizoma passenger pegs.

I'm okay with lifting my legs as long as they're also going back and, more importantly, the shifters are moving down.

dsmdylan

Has anyone used the Flyhammers? Looks like they're only available direct from Italy but they look pretty solid and include the passenger pegs for less than the Rizomas cost for just the driver pegs.

if so, the Ducabike is the way to go . . . give Jeff a call at Monsterparts . . .

edit:
sorry, you do have the low mount exhaust, right? If so, Ducabike might NOT be the way to go, try the Gecko, another member tried them on his 821 and loves them

I have hi-mount, see the picture. I do want passenger pegs though and Ducabike do not offer a solution for this as far as I know.

having issues opening some links . . .

If so, Ducabike are very good, FHE and as said, Gecko seem to be also good . . .

and if you want to go cheap, the Danmoto for less than $200 seem to be very adjustable . .  try my link to see them . ..

The Flyhammer, both rider and passenger, are hanging by the two welded tabs on the frame... not supported to the engine cases... like they 'should'...

Not sure I'd trust them  :-\

That's the way SS and SBK rearsets mount. They hold up fine. ;)

hmmm.. the load direction is different and on SS/SBK, passenger (and exhaust) isn't included.
