Out and About on your Laverda.No bull,Just photos

Nice to see a few photos of triples with the much more sensible (comfortable) footpegs, not rearsets. I'm surprised so many old farts on this forum can still get their feet on rearset pegs, there is no way I can. I removed the rearsets after my knee replacement back in 2015 I only used them for a very short time anyway, always preferred the footpegs

I find the rearset pegs on my SFs far more comfortable than the original ones that feel far too far forward. They are not extreme rear or high. Others who ride it are surprised as they expected cramped. Could be different with replaced joints of course. Virtually all road bikes these days have them quite a bit further back than in the old days too.
 
Depends a lot which handlebar you're using. I should think that the angle of the hip is important and rear sets will give you a more open and comfortable angle as long as the pegs aren't too high.
Not to mention the lower back.

I'm putting rear sets on my 3C with the multiposition bar. If it doesn't work, I plan to revert to standard footrests and a flattish bar.

With the advancement of the old farts disease I have found it necessary to lower the footpegs on the Yellow Peril.
Pretty smart design feature on the RGS.
 
Luckily I'm a short arse and don't have any probs with my rearsets - hated the feet forward std SF setup - and the std gear lever meant you couldn't effectively swing the pegs back and up on the splines. Before I made dedicated plates (and as always a young dude short of money) I did improve the pos a lot by cutting 2 inches off the brake lever (brazed the foot pad back on without even discolouring the chrome) and fitting a bracket to the swingarm axle with a gear lever pivoting from it.

Going too far back or too high with rearsets is only good for racing. It was interseting to se the almost universal trend in the late 70s early 80s onwards to fit pegs a lot further back than was historically the norm.
