@@MicahMuzio Ugh, not good. It just seemed so unusual that's why I asked. I suppose there are, or will be. aftermarket wider pegs to at least help.

Or even the new Trident, though I think the pegs are too far back on that bike for me.

billy wong Thanks for the kind words! To answer your question. Yes, I think you have some options to lower the Scrambler. If you dial back the pre-load on the rear suspension that’ll increase static sag. That plus the lowered seat might be the solution you need.

I rode them back to back. The Desert Sled felt slightly less nippy, but at first I couldn't tell if it was just down to riding position and height difference etc. But one of the Ducati guys did ask me afterwards and agreed that the icon, classic and FT feel a bit quicker than the desert Sled. The difference is pretty damn small anyway and I had a lot of fun on these and performance was never a concern.
