Having bust off yet another footpeg today, I'm seriously thinking of investing in a pair of folding rearsets as used by Ducati Corse. Have browsed the online Ducati accessory catalogue but no joy.

Where can I get a set of these at the best price? Any idea's?

having read your other thread it sounds as though the low side did not cause too much damage ..... was this because the foot pegs were solid and not the folding type ?

Is it cheaper to replace the rear set rather than the damage caused by a folding peg.

Good question, but my thinking is that of the peg stayed on the bike it might help keep the rest of it a bit further off the deck. The peg snapped clean off the moment it hit, so provided little protection from then on which resulted in the brake peg busting off too. I think if the peg had stayed there it would have saved the brake.

Plus, with a folding peg, I simply need to snap it back into position and I could carry on, rather than having to carry a bag load of spare pegs and keep changing them when they bust off.

Saw these, but they would be no good because the only fit standard footrest hangers and I use DP, plus I doubt they would be much good for track use. Nice and shiny for the road, but as much good as a chocolate fireguard on track.

Apparantly Gilles do a set, but I'm still trying to find a pic.

Really? Do they fit standard DP hangers then?

Yeti I had Harris set with pegs made by Skidlids. Skids pegs don't break off, just wear down. DP sets are made of cheese
