I contemplated getting a set of these. Anyone else have them?

I installed the Slingshot racing ones on my M796 a few weeks ago and they are working well so far.
They look very similar.
Check out my thread on footpeg lowering.

I wonder how strong the adjustment/locating pins are if you stood up on the pegs? For that price I would try them. Down the track I would also consider modifying the seat to open up the hip/knee position and give a little comfort to your arse for longer rides.

Other manufacturers of similar systems make a point of not using that size for the rider...

'Your' manufacturer also sells a 25mm version.

I'd put the bike on a rear stand, or have a friend hold it, then jump on it/kick it hard to see what happens in an extreme situation. If it holds up - fine. If it doesn't - better to discover that standing still than on the road - get a refund if it breaks...

Be very careful with those pegs made in China/Hong Kong
I purchased those same pegs once for Mrs Dogs 696
The only thing holding the peg from rotating around the adjustment range is a very small and
narrow gauge pin of suspect quality .
My wives failed on a ride one day .........................

My ears are still ringing from the scalding I got for putting cheap shit on her bike that broke.
Lucky her foot didn't bounce off the road or I would most likely be typing this in a very high voice .

Between lowering the pegs by about 1 and 1/2 inch , and getting the DP Touring seat which adds almost an inch in ride height, it made a huge difference in comfort for my 6'2" body with bad knees.

I would want to know what the fixing point for the rotation is. Rizoma makes a similar product for the monster 1200 that has big gnarly splines. it doesn't give 360 adjust ability that the show product lists but you wont ever worry about slippage.

Similar to Rizoma.
