Timely thread. I wore my alternate boots yesterday (ankle height alpinstars)and my right foot slipped off the peg twice and it was impossible to keep the ball of my foot on the peg. (I like to switch between ball and arch to give my knees a break.) I'm thinking of going with something like this like on my F650. They come in "Wide," too, which is a plus.



If you take the rubber off your pegs (a lot of work) or buy pegs for a dark that do not use rubber you might be happier.

I might look into some dark pegs but based on some eyeballing I did at the BMW and Touratech booths at the NYMCS and comparing to my monster today, I think pegs for a <'99 F650 will work. (Why not, the levers and a few other parts came out of the same parts bin)
I have a buddy who's been stockpiling (his word. Mine is hoarding  ;D) F parts since he bought his in '97. I think I'll see if he's got a pair laying around. If they fit, then I'll think about springing some big bucks on a Touratech pair.
