Yep, the footpegs are about as grippy as a teflon coated frying pan, especially when wet and not that great in the dry either, especially when you are cranked over and trying to put some leverage through them. I think the only option is go to for a set of full rearsets but its difficult to justify spending yet more money on the bike at the moment although they would be handy for Brands GP on the 16th Aug..

I have changed my approach to lowering the sidestand as I was finding it difficult so now I put my foot behind the footpeg and put my foot on the end of the sidestand rather than trying to approach it from the side. This seems to make it a bit easier.
i,ve been speaking to the Mechanic at Ducati Glasgow and he has told me that it is possible to change out just the pegs rather than go for full set of rear sets , he said he is looking into this for one of the other guys that has recently bought a Tricolore and he will let me know when he has them and how good they are , think he said he was trying to Source them through Performance Parts , they are for the 1198 but can be adjusted to fit the 1199 , will let you know when i hear back from him
