Help Needed Ref 888 Rear Sets

Discussion in 'Ducati General Discussion' started by farmster, Apr 7, 2019.

  1. Hi everyone
    Need help / advice
    I have big hoofs size 11....
    12 ! With my boots on
    So here’s the Dilemma I can’t get my feet on the footrests & change gear !
    Only with my trainers on.
    I’m taking it to the TT with the 1199 this year in the van so time is getting time.
    My bike has “Ergal” rearsets. I believe
    I need to move them back 2 inches
    I need some adapter plates
    Searched the net been on 851/888 forum
    I think the hole centres on the frame
    (Footrest mounts) are the same as a 900 ss ???
    Ideas

  3. They need to move back about 2 inches Jackie the foot peg is concentric
    But the gear lever doesn’t move
    I think I might have to commission some adapter blocks
     
  4. Don't Valter Moto do "jackup plates" which, if you reverse them, become "jackdown plates"? Don't know if they'll fit the 888 frame though.
     
  5. Maybe this is a stupid question but is it just the foot pegs you want moving back and the gear lever etc stay where they are to give more room to get your foot below lever or is it the whole rear set you want back?
     
  6. The footrest & the gear lever work on the same spigot Jackie
    What happens is my toes hit the fairing
     
  7. Message Steve R or Ducati Dad. They will have the answer

  8. Thank you
     
  9. That's what I thought. Just 2 plates you need then. Had a quick look online earlier but not seen any that would do. Hopefully one of the other guys will come back with something. These bloody 888's are small. I'm not big by no means and I find it really cramped. Good luck on getting something sorted mate
     
  10. There is a thread on this very subject over on the Ducati 851 and 888 site:

     
  11. They are done now
    And I’m happy off to the TT tomorrow
