Default Rearset and header advice

Hi, all. I've been away from this site for a while, but I still have my 1997 900 SS/SP ! After a year with an MV Agusta F4-1000s, I traded that on a 2007 Ducati ST3s, so I'm all Ducati again. I'll post pictures of my SS in the photo gallery as soon as I can. I guess you need a URL to post pics here, correct? Anyhow, I have two questions. When I do track days with the Supersport, I drag my pegs, shift and brake pedals and headers (not good!!). Please, no advice about hanging off more, I already am. Anyone able to recommend good rearsets for a 1997 Supersport? You don't need to mention Cycle Cat since of course they are unobtainium. So far all I've found for a pre-1999 SS are Woodcraft, which look nice enough but are not adjustable, although a LOT cheaper than the Cycle Cat ones were. Also, I was aware of the header dragging problem with those bikes, but even with my forks all the way down in the clamps to raise the front end, and with a 1" longer Penske shock adjusted with 1/2" extra ride height on the back, my headers still drag occaisionally (yes the bike sits pretty high). Anyone have any headers-that-don't-drag recommendations? There, those were my questions. Thanks in advance for any help.
