Does the color black make them less slippery than the silver? |

At $179.20 plus tax and shipping & handling for both rider and passenger pegs, I'll live with my silver footpegs |

A little dremel work and a can of paint = do it yourself '09 pegs. |

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. |

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. . |

I think the prices are reasonable, they are about the same as a pair of the old style pegs. |

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. |

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? . |

Did Eric carve them out by hand? Who is Eric? |
