I like rearsets. I'm totally comfortable with rearsets. But the Thruxton is a little tight for me.

Knowing that the Scrambler has it's pegs a bit lower in the frame, would something like the Norman Hyde Scram rearsets give you Thruxton like, but with a touch more room? Or do they fit just like a Thruxton would?

I guess if I could get a similar position with the Scrambler as the Thrux with installing the rearsets and a Speed Triple bar, with the benefit of a touch more room at 6'3", I'd have a winner for sure. And an awesome base to make something my own!

Spent some time at Moto Europa in St. Louis over the weekend. What a place!!

I'm 6'3" with Thrux rearsets. I got used to them quickly enough, now I wouldn't want anything else.

It's a very good question, but I don't have an answer. Sorry.

Norman Hyde has a fantastic customer service department. Send them an email and they should respond with the info you seek.

I don't know how drastically different the LSL rear-sets are then the Norman Hyde's but I found with the LSL's and at 6'1" with a 32-33" inseam, they got really uncomfortable on long rides. Around town they were fine, but on the bike longer than a couple hours, and things just got too cramped.


On another note, looking at that picture of the Thruxton, I can't believe the amount of space between the headlight and the speedo/Tach cluster. Either it needs a D9 lay flat bracket or the headlight needs to be brought up.

I have the NORMAN HYDE rear sets fitted to my bonny ,i think they are placed in a similar position to the thruxtons.ive attached a photo of my bike with the rear sets fitted to give you an idea.

its not ut about the rearsets. It has to do with bar position in relation to foot peg position. I had ace bars on my bonnie and you are really scrunched in the middle section. I changed to LSL rearsets and the riding position is awesome.

I've tried just about every different bar / peg combination from stock bars, ace bars, "M" bars, clip-ons, back to "M" bars, to superbars with each of these being with rear-sets as well as stock bonnie pegs. I ran thru all the bars with LSL rear-sets and back thru with stock bonnie pegs. The most comfortable I found was the stock bonnie peg position with Norman Hyde "M" bars. My issue wasn't unlocking the hips, it was unlocking the knee caps and I could only do this by ditching the LSL rear-sets.

I truly don't believe anyone's going to know what suites them best until they travel that road for themselves, there’s just too many variables.
