Default Cool foot pegs

Put on a set of the Kuryakyn 'switchblade' pegs, and don't think I'd ride without them again. In the curves and around town I leave them "in". On the highway you just use your toes to extend the heel piece, and it's amazingly relaxing. Seems, at least for me, to take pressure off your legs and allows you to relax more. I was really surprised at how much of a difference it makes. Very comfortable, highly recommend.

I saw those and thought it was a cool consept but was sceptical about if they'd realy make that much differance. Glad to hear your so happy with them. Keep us updated on how you like them as the miles roll.

Hope these do justice. If I were to be picky, I'd say that the only thing I don't particularly like is the 'bulk' of the pegs. I like the smaller, or finer, look. Guess it's what I like about the Deuce, sleak. Anyway, sure do like the comfort.

Are they kinda weird to open while riding or do they open prety easily. When you take you foot off and on (like at stops in traffic) do they tend to try and open?

I find them very easy to open and close, and have yet to have them try to open by themselves. I run with them closed in town, and when I start to play through the turns. I do drag them quite a bit, so don't want to risk harming them whilst playing hard. I flip them down with just my toes when I'm out on the highway, which is really the only time I would want to use them.
