Tires are young. Not sure what you're seeing there. I do appreciate you looking out though!

Wifey pointed out you're probably seeing the yellow ink lines in the tread. There's a red one on the left and a yellow one on the right. Like I said, they're young tires.

Tough call considering it's a bike I haven't ridden either with factory or aftermarket rear sets. It also depends on your own stature, leg length, etc. Generally speaking though, when you purchase a rear set the manufacturer will tell you the adjustment range from factory. Usually it'll say like 'One inch up, one inch back' - and then the rear set will include its own adjustability from there, maybe another half inch in each axis. So if you have access to a Triple 1200 and documentation on the rear sets you're looking at buying, you should be able to position your foot statically to see what it feels like. Do not try to put the rear sets made for a Streetfighter V4 on your Speed Triple :)

I think so? It's not very complicated, really. Just make sure you torque and threadlock everything appropriately. The shifter on the left is probably more complicated than the brake on the right, but again, neither one is high on the difficulty scale.

Thanks 😁

All of the rear sets on the market offer about the same amount of adjustability. The different sets differ in how that adjustability is accomplished, fit, finish, look, and other features. Riding position is such an individual and personal thing, I would not be able to tell you if the adjustability is enough for you, but I suspect that it is. The rear sets can move your foot back and up about an inch on both axes. Moving the feet up especially will definitely give you more potential lean angle. In my opinion, that’s the number one reason for swapping them. I’m also 5’5”, for the record. Consider a taller race seat too since you’re taller. That will effectively open your knee joint and could make everything more comfortable and easier to manipulate.

@@scuderiacastoro Hey thanks a lot for a quick and very helpful reply! I agree that all rear sets offer nice adjustability but was really looking for first hand experience. Yes, I was thinking about a higher seat and probably will go after I install Gilles rear sets! Many thanks 🙏

Regarding first hand experience - These do as good of a job at moving my foot to where I prefer it as I can hope for. They also look amazing, literally zero complaints about the Gilles. The only negative so far is that now I want to anodize the factory aluminum bits to match. Thanks for hanging out!

@@scuderiacastoro just one more remark - I can’t see any crash protection installed on your bike in this video - I highly recommend frame sliders as well as fork sliders. I had a low speed crash but my ducabike sliders worked and no damage at all! Ok, mirror broke but I replaced it with CRG arrows planned anyway. Take care and thanks for sharing videos!

The angle is deceiving here. I remove the rear axle sliders when I am working on the bike so I can get the stand in (which I didn't end up using here after all haha). The Evotech frame sliders are not in view here, but the bike does have them. They sit under the wings. I also run Evotech front axle sliders. I totally agree on the importance of frame protection - especially on such an expensive bike.

Wifey and I regularly discuss this, and both bikes have a lot to offer. The Streetfighter is a fantastic and refined machine with the factory tune. The MT-10 is a total brute, and even though not as powerful, feels a lot more like the machines from a decade ago. So it really comes down to what you like. The MT-10 is a bargain too.

Sorry. I don’t have them anymore. But… rear sets are not rocket surgery. They are pretty simple to install without instructions. Is there a specific question you had?

They certainly can. They have around 9 positions for the heel, and the toe distance is also adjustable.

I think that probably comes down to personal values and personal fit. I admit I got them to have something to wrench on, and I like the way they look. I hate that rearsets for Ducatis are so overpriced. If you really need to alter the bike fit to make it comfortable, or for racing, they’re probably more worth it. Thanks for watching!

Yes. Both the factory rearsets and the Gilles have an attachment point for the pushrod to convert to GP shifting. I did not realize the factory rearsets were reversible until I removed them. Nice of Ducati to do that.

Right on. There won't be a next time for this bike..... I'm not sure that we even kept the piece.

Thank you 😋

Thank you 😋

I believe that coming from you. Thanks!

I just went and measured. The factory pipe coming out of the muffler that you slip over has a 51mm O.D. However.... I recommend buying a slip-on made for this bike specifically, as it will have a nice hanger and shrouding that fits. I'm sure you could build a hanger for a generic pipe too, if you're handy. Good luck!

@@scuderiacastoro thanks its very appreciated👌

It won’t be as the genuine exhaust is a straight through pipe too. Decat is the only way to make a difference or shorten the OE pipe somewhat.

Yeah.... not any louder. It does change the tone slightly, but "It wasn't Me" is right, most of the muffling is under the bike in the actual muffler, next to the cat. A slipon for this bike doesn't remove the muffler.

Glad it helped!

They're similar, but you'd need a can made for the R3. I've also done a full system on an R3 and it's very simple, since the bike has pretty spartan bodywork to remove.

Thanks 😁
