They look awesome mate. Any idea how much weight they save? Can't find it anywhere.

I pulled into the M6 Sandbach service yesterday and parked next to a red Monster 1200 fitted with termis, I struck up a conversation with the owner and he fired her up for me.
It initially made me jump a little as it popped and crackled on start up but when he gave it a rev O.M.G. what a beautiful sound , if only you could bottle it cos it would sell in bucket loads. It made the microns fitted to my 750 sound positively asthmatic.
And as for the bike itself, it's a work of art.

Nice set-up iMOC. I notice your rider and passenger pegs are aftermarket too. What are they?

Having recently, closely followed iMOC's bike I can confirm that it makes a mighty noise indeed...

The R model comes with machined foot pegs as stock, they are quite lovely!!

Thanks Pedro. I have just bought a 1200s. Added termis, and some other goodies. Really need to replace the stock rearsets. Only need rider legs so will investigate if 1200r pegs will fit.

There are several companies manufacturing rearsets for the 1200/s models. Depending on your budget, anywhere from £350 - £1200!

You could buy a brand new M1200S, or 11 sets of the really expensive rearsets (wow ) that Grumpy mentioned. Think I know what I'd do.....

Good point iMOC. I have heard that next year the Monster 1200 and 1200s will have revised rearsets as the current 1200r has now. But, my 1200s is 6 months old with 600 miles on the clock and cost me less than 11k. Just could not resist or wait! In white too!��

Sounds good Mario. My 12R is 7 months old now and has 5400 miles on the clock

Too many rideouts with UKMOC

The lovely folk at Moto Rapido have some of these if it's just new pegs you're after- Worth phoning Luke or Craig and getting 10% off for UKMOC members don't forget:
