rear sets for early 851 series bikes, check them out.
 

have spent what seems like for ever looking for better rear sets, have a look.

Where can you get them??? Depending on the geometry I might even be able to ride the SP3...

Is this link any good to you? http://www.ducati-kaemna.de/cms_en/k...el&artikel=423

they look tasty aswell, but I'm pretty sure they will only fit late 851's with the newer frame ,and 888's off course, not early bikes from sp to sp3 etc which use a section welded to frame to mount rearset, where newer frames they fit onto the frame directly.

could be wrong though, but have compared pics and I they are a different angle of fitting.

thanks for the input though mate.

Andrew, I'm just waiting for a email confirming price etc, then I'll order a set up.

cheers

I just had a look through the Conti book, and i think you're right, the rests from Germany look as though they'll only fit the later bikes and not the 851's. The one's you posted a picture of look OK though - do you have a web site or something?

Andrew

still waiting for a reply from that company, so they may no longer be doing them, but I'll keep you posted.
But before I found those 851 sets, I had ordered a set of pegs to use with custom made fixing plates.
they arrrived today, they look really nice, just need to get some ally fixing brackets machined up and on they go.

My German's not very good - what did you search for on ebay.de??? Did you mean there were any there now?

andrew you've got a u2u mate.

still on this subject, there would appear to be a serious problem getting 851 rearsets, to date I have not had any replies from suppliers or manafacturers for these items, either in billet /carbon or similar, which I find very disapointing.
the items I've linked to at the start of this topic seem to be a very popular upgrade, if you can get hold of the little *ods.

I've got some of these little gems, http://www.tarozzipaolo.com/inglese/...adfisszigr.jpg
but need to get mounting place machined up, for rear brake cylinder etc, before they can be fitted.

More interestingly I have found that DP and similar rearsets for 748/916 etc fit 851's.
becuase they have 4 holes drilled in them, to accomadate higher or lower peg height, two holes either way round or up will fit onto 851 mounting lugs perfectly.
gear lever appears to also work out.
only snag seems to be rear brake layout.

Now from my initial calculations(not tested yet) the rear brake cylinder from 748/916 etc will just fit into the space available on 851's , fitted the same way as 748/916 even uses same mounting holes.
Brake lever will then work as on 748/916 bikes.
It's a snug fit due to the upswept pipes at that point , but that's only glitch, does'nt appear to be any other real issues apart from longer brake line etc.

Any thoughts to update me with here.
Anyone with a surplus knackered or broken rear brake cylider assembly(must have mounting bracket aswell)I can use for evaluating this retro fit.
