Does the color black make them less slippery than the silver?  | ||
| Froggy |
Yes    You can see its also notched a little different too. Oh yea, order from a board sponsor! | ||

At $179.20 plus tax and shipping & handling for both rider and passenger pegs, I'll live with my silver footpegs | ||
| Oddball |
A little dremel work and a can of paint = do it yourself '09 pegs. | ||
| Snowscum |
Looks like they just left the corners sharper and plated them. | ||

I meant to post this after my XT demo... in the dry conditions, the 09 pegs were VERY grippy! Deffinately noticeably grippier than the previous version. Dunno about wet conditions. | ||

$87?!? Jesus Christ, screw that. | ||

Looks like they just left the corners sharper and plated them. The nubs also appear to have a slight "sawtooth" profile to keep your foot from slipping outwards. Yea, $87 is pretty steep, but reasonable compared to Touratech, etc. | ||

Are they on drugs with those prices? Did Eric carve them out by hand? Edit- I guess those prices are per pair- 4 pegs total, not as bad. (Message edited by miamiuly on September 11, 2008) | ||

My right foot flew off the peg as I was repositioning myself flying down the freeway in the driving rain (sounds like a country song). Maybe it was the fault of the sandals I was wearing, who knows. Very unnerving - I'd buy Al's, but with a 34" inseam, I don't want to give up an inch in legroom. The stockers are slippery when wet - I need to do something. . | ||

TOURATECH http://www.touratech-usa.com/shop/show.lasso?sku=3 80-0100&-session=touratech:4B1805E1163e40F238KGhrC B777A  | ||

I think the prices are reasonable, they are about the same as a pair of the old style pegs. | ||
| Darthane |
I've gotta be misremembering, then - I swear my rubber-coated XB9R pegs were well under $60. -=sigh=- I really want better grip, but I may try my own solution before I simply cough up nearly a hundred dollars. | ||
| Froggy |
Darth, $76. http://www.buell.com/en_us/gear/accessories/produc t.asp?Menu_ID=2&ProductLineID=4&CategoryID=7&Produ ctID=1682 I am trying to find it to confirm, but i believe the old pegs were about $40 a side. | ||

Hex-head zip screws would go a long way toward improving grip affordably. And they won't rip your jeans if you are working on something low in a tight spot. DAMHIK | ||

Here's some Fastway Pegs - can't we simply drill and glue the screws into our stock pegs to mimic the Fastway design?   . | ||
| Darthane |
Damn, I must have been smoking something when I ordered those, then. LOL | ||

Hey Florida_lime Any chance you can provide us with a photo of your set up? Thanks | ||

I'd have to start wearing shoes to ride with these suckers!  | ||

Did Eric carve them out by hand? Who is Eric? | ||
| Miamiuly |
Who is Eric? a guy who works in the factory I guess... I certainly didn't mean Erik.  | ||
