Yea i noticed that pegs are a total different feel than boards. I use to scub my pipes shooten sparks on my CBR. First time i dipped my Deluxe down...lets say i had to check my underwear because i almost $hit myself. Tight low turns just isn't happenen with boards....

Thats why i asked about fishtails scrubben with boards.....And i've dropped my bike down as low as it will go around corners and my boards hit 100% of the time but not my pipes....

Sorry for the hijack to the OP....

On a road kin you need longer pipes so they can clear the bags. Another friend has a RK with fishtails and they are long and look great. I am not sure if I have a pic, but I'll see what I can dig up.
