We just finished the first run of our new Shift Lever and Rear Brake Levers for the XB. These are supplied with a custom Toe Peg, and new bushings and pivot sleeve installed. There are pictures posted on our Website, http://knightdesignllc.com/index_files/XBFootLever s.htm so I won't take up space and post the same picture here.
The Toe Peg on the Brake Lever is extended longer than the Shift Lever Toe Peg. I tried an extended peg on the Shift Lever, and found I would rather not have to rotate my foot further out and around to get underneath the peg to down shift. However we can install a longer Toe Peg on the Shift Lever for those that want it.
We should also have Toe Pegs for the 1125 Shift and Brake Lever available soon. Some customers have already called and ordered them for the 1125 since they saw the pictures on the Website. Most have requested them in an extended version, so we will make a 2.5 inch long version of the Toe Peg for the Brake Lever and Shift Lever on the 1125.

Those look SUPER beefy. Are they significantly thicker than stock?

The body of the lever is wider than stock. The thickness is close to the stock lever thickness. The toe peg is pretty much the same diameter as the stock one. The lever was designed to coordinate with our footpegs.
I took some pictures of the levers and pegs on the XB late today. When I get them downloaded I'll post some pics. They look like they belong on the bike when they are installed with the matching pegs. Pictures will help, hopefully get to them later tonight.
