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...</TD></TR></TABLE>
Been there done that with my Duc with Sato Ti rear sets! It bent the upper mounting tab, NOT THE FRAME! and I bent the tab back and replaced the rear set. It acted as a frame slider more and reduced the amount of damage a lot when the bike slid away from me! To me the softer peg is going to give out quicker and eventually just grind away the side you crash on and possibly your leg when it's trapped underneath? Of course i'm referring to lowsiding the bike.
