Got the Fastways for the Yamaha TT months ago & finally got around to mounting them. There is both GOOD & BAD news. GOOD NEWS: -They fit, kinda'. SEE BAD NEWS -They extremely comfortable. -Riding "on the pegs" is pure joy -You WILL NOT slip off them -They raise feet +/- 1" so right side heat (even w/ Special Ops shields) is tolerable. BAD NEWS: -The inserts that hold retaining pin must be filed or ground down approx 1/8" to fit into peg slot on bike -The spring (stock OR Fastway) WILL NOT FIT. Therefore -They must be mounted solid more or less -Stock retaining pin will not fit into insert on Fastway so a 3/8x2" bolt must be used. Insert could be drilled out but why bother. Those long of inseam will probably not like the ergos. The new peg position is similar, I believe, to a regular Lightning or CityX. I have 30" inseams & they work fine. Getting my right thigh above the heat blast was, for me, worth the bad points. I over filed the inserts a bit & shimmed them 8 thou w/ aluminum so, even bolted "solid," there is some rearward "give". Overall, I'm satisfied for WHAT I WANT. I had the Touratech pegs on my R1200GS & replaced them w/ Fastways. The TT ones chewed the $h*t out of the sides of my riding boots. namibian Lost in NW IN | ||

I have the same pegs, ordered them just before my trip to the desert back in March. I was afraid of the "solid mount" setup damaging the peg bracket assembly in a tip over so I took them off right away. Maybe I will give them another shot. | ||

Somewhere here or AdvRider folks have reported the bracket breaking in a tip over even with the stock pegs & springs. | ||

I've broken the bracket on mine in a tip-over with the stock setup. I think the replacement cost was around $180 for that piece. | ||

I wish somebody would come up with a Fastway style replacement peg with the lowboy feature that lets you mount them in either a high or low position. Anybody? |
