Duke Rearsets

[steven chen]

Has anyone fitted rearsets to a Duke, Duke II or 690 Duke? I have searched the internet and haven't found a manufacturer that lists the Duke models. I would like a riding position somewhere between the operator's and passengers footpegs. On a similar note, has anyone set up a Duke for roadracing?

Hey Steven.... just curious... as the 690 Duke is generally
thought to offer massive lean angles and the clearance that allows it,
why the interest in rear sets?

Just for riding position. It gets pretty old pretty fast when going 65-70 mph sitting up. I usually put my feet on the passenger pegs in order to get a more forward lean. With my bad knees and heavyweight riding gear, the passenger peg position is too far back and high and makes shifting a bigger effort. A position somewhere between the operator's and passenger's pegs would be ideal in conjunction with a higher seat. I already have pretty flat bars with hardly any pull back.

Thanks. I contact them. If I get a set, I'll post my impressions.
