I am looking into a set of 2" drop pegs for myself. I realize precision engeneering has them and they look great.I just did a search and sounds like everyone loves them however Im worried they wont stand up to A-my weight-275ish, B the abuse of some off road i plan on doing and the requirement to be standing on the pegs for long periods.
Any thoughts?

Knights design makes some drop pegs too. They will reduce your lean angle a little, but reportedly they are strong enough not to break durring a tip over.
So Don't worry

The PE ones are made from billet. You're not going to break them by standing on them! They give a wide platform and are very comfortable for standing.

Look at the tabs where the pegs attach to the bike.

You're worried about the pegs being the weak link?

Jamba,
Those things look like they have the potential to rip your leg open.

Before I order the PE pegs with 2 inch drop, anyone have these? Do you have to mess with the shift/brake at all? I find my knees are bent a bit too much for my liking.

The cheapest shipping option I've found is $17 for 1.5 lb package, thats kinda rediculous if you ask me....

Love my PE 2' Drop pegs!
Very grippy, more room for my long legs.
Have the shift & brake levers too. Tightened up the shifting, & gives enough extra leverage to make the back brake useful.

Had them for a while and love them. I had to adjust the shift lever but the brake was fine.

USPS Priority Mail Flat rate box. UPS cost more than twice the price ($13.00), and took 8 days to get to me from Precision. Priority Mail was cheaper ($4.95), and I had the parts in two days. It's the best deal out there.
