I’m not loving the riding position of my SF2 – legs too high and forward. I'm T.F.O for that. Looks like rearset kits are mostly not available atm (except one EU source for large $$) and those triangle mounting plates are similarly scarce or mega $$. So I might have to improvise. I’ve ordered some tarozzi pegs (black/rubber as most places are sold out of alloy ones). Now looking at options to mount them.
From searching and googling, there appears a couple of options.
1. The usual triangular alloy frame plates (pic 1) that mount the pegs somewhere inside that triangle. I could fabricate something similar but they still look high - higher than the stock pegs. Lower would be better...
2. Another option seen is a bar or plate mounted to the frame’s serrated foot peg lugs (pic 2). I see some variations further anchor this to an extended swingarm bolt or possibly down to the centre stand bolt (pic 3?). Looks ok on the right and could mount a peg below the triangle. But harder on the left due to the frame lug for the brake lever stop which I’d rather not cut off. And worse if I want to use the extra brake lever arm (as in pic 1). And still harder if I want the pegs lower - below the triangle.
So –

So –
- does anyone mount their rearset pegs below the triangle? Or why not? (this is a road bike)
- is using a bar or plate mounted to the serrated foot peg lugs ‘good’ /strong enough?
- How do people manage the bar/plate approach on the left-hand side, especially if they want to not grind off the brake stop lug. Any pics?
