I'm I wrong, or would it not be better to have the rearsets bend away, rather than tweaking the frame? The way the Ducati trellis frame is made, it seems it might be more vulnerable to bending the frame itself, rendering it unusable.

Not knowing how other (Japanese, for example) bikes mount their rearsets to the frame, there may be a reason to have "softer" foot controls on a duc...

Just a thought...
