Posts: 293 Arkansas | I've been thinking about a flat peg/pedal for the same reason, but haven't yet checked on options that have same thread mount.
I'll start with Kuryakyn, I guess.

Posts: 175 Hinton, Iowa | I replaced my brake and shifter pegs with Ness diamond pegs.(long) The are made to fit a Kingpin I believe. They look great and work great. I think you can get the comfort grip style for a Kingpin also.

Posts: 639 Tri Cities, WA | Yeah I was not happy either with the size of the brake and shifter pegs on my baby girl. So I had my local dealer order me a set of ness knurled pegs (like on the Ness street vision). I added some rubber O rings for added tractions and so far it has worked out very well. It added enough length to fix my problems. Hope this helps.
See pics below of what I have.

So I am not the only one. I feel I realy have to turn my foot in to find the brake. I have no problem with the shifter. I'll be watching this thread.

Posts: 639 Tri Cities, WA | Necktie, Yes you can still stretch out with no issues at all. I'm 6'2" with a 34 " inseam and i have no problems. It made grabbing the rear brake much easier. I also had no isse's with the shifter but I couldnt just put one on, that would have looked silly. So i got two so they would match. Hope it works for ya if you go this direction. |

Posts: 639 Tri Cities, WA | Bikerdave: I'm looking in my Ness 08 catalog and it says it's number is V-1139. I'm not sure what part number my lcoal Vic shop order it with. I hope that helps. The cool part is the Knurled one does NOT require the additional purchase of the Adpater Stud (V-1108) |

Posts: 619 Southeast Iowa | You can also use part #2875019 Comfort Shift / Brake Lever Ends sold by Victory. They are the 4 band ISO peg listed for the Kingpin in the 08 dealer catalog. They measure about 2 3/4" long and screw right in. List cost each is $19.99 |

Posts: 329 scotts valley, California | I am six foot tall with only a 30 inch inseam. The brake peddle is as far back as it will go and still a little to far forward for my comfort. I rigged up a really classy looking set up with a 4" C clamp, three hose clamps, and a couple of rubber balls, which really worked well for me except for the attention it got! What would really work well for me is a peddle bar about three inches shorter than stock. |

Posts: 104 Plainfield Illinois | I'm considering one of these. I've not yet decided though as I'm wondering if this would really be a functional improvement over the stock pedal for me. I have no problem with my size 11 right boot hitting the stock one. Here's the url that goes with the picture. Someone is also selling them on ebay. http://www.cyclesolutions.net/index.php?option=com_store&manufacturer=1&item=DAMD-DC2110

Did you have a hard time getting the brake pedal peg off the brake arm? I tried to screw mine out and it won't budge. Do they put locktite on the threads? I tried locking pliers, large pliers and it won't budge afraid I am going to snap it off. Shifter peg screwed out by hand. Any ideas, anybody? |

Posts: 55 Las Vegas, NV | VisionNWrider, love the fact you also covered the rear master cylinder with the chrome add on. Me too! I think i'll order those ness parts. I have noticed it's a bit hard to find the brake easily. |

Posts: 172 Prescott, Az | Mine were locked tighted on as are the new ones I put on. I had to use vise grips on the shifter peg. Went on a long run today and they are great. |

Posts: 125 Kerrville Texas ( now a homeowner on six acres) | I do not understand the problem with the rear break pedal.I have riden 23,600 miles and have never had any trouble "finding " the rear brake pedal.
Besides, I thought the bike was made to GOOOOO not stop, why worry about the pedal being BIG?
Just my thoughts

Dont waste your money on "needed" stuff ! that just reduces what you have available for NEAT stuff like CHROME and goodies!
