| Saw these on the Vog. Currently out of stock, but I would assume more are on the way. Looks very interesting. I have the V pegs and love them, but I would try these too !

| I originally had the Victory highway pegs when I first purchased my Vision and took them off after the first two days because I didn't like how you had to kinda slide you feet into position from the rear of the boards and you couldn't just pivot you toes off the side of the floorboards, this looks like it will give me the comfort to both stretch out AND to still position my feet how I like to. COOL!!! |

Northeast Ohio | I love innovation like this. The problem is that I am running the Arizona Vic pegs for tall riders and rest my heals beside the front tipover. These might leave me a little less room than I need.  I was hoping Mick-O-Pegs would have been able to make something for our bikes. http://www.ridingiswonderful.com/ A buddy of mine has them on his 1200 LT and they are virtually invisible when not being used. |

New Bohemia, VA | The problem I have is knee lock which causes me great discomfort on long rides. I will rest my heel between the floorboard and the TOP in that notch there. But it is not long before I realize I have to come back off of it and flatfoot for awhile. How is this little contraption different from that? I hope some one understands what I'm asking and provide a good explaination. From my standpoint it seems that it would give my the same problem, but just don't know. |

I made these and understand the question. They do staighten the leg out and if you have knee problems
they will probably not work for you. I rode often with my heels on the tipovers, but my foot was disloged from this perch and my leg swung back and down with the heel kissing the ground....POGO....
After reading the posts on highway pegs I decided to try something different. I made 3 sets and let 2 of my riding group try them out. After 4 months or so I modified the design to the revisions I and my ride testers had. They are not for everybody but some will love them.  |

New Bohemia, VA | Thanks for that response chesshiretuna and it is certainly an ingenius idea which I think is great. Having been born with flat-feet and being a paratrooper has given my knees their workout and gives me tradeoffs that others don't have. I can ride hundreds of miles with no problem on the Vision and the huge floorboards. But I can't crawl on my knees, (so don't expect me to come crawling) nor lock them for very long without suffering. I'm looking for an inward foot rest that would be over the tipovers and that would suit me just fine. As it is proven, necessity is the mother of invention.

| I like them BUT I have some real concern with the possibility one's heel could become stuck, hooked when you need to move it quickly (depending upon foot attire of course). |

| I have not had this happen yet. The only thing I note is that you need to retract them before you stop. I have about 5000 miles on them. I suppose if you have frilly boots or pants you might experiance dificulty

| I wasn't thinking frills, I was thinking more along the lines of if you wear leather boots with a stitched on sole, a problem not associated with a molded sole as pictured on your add. Since you make and sell these it might be something you'd want to check before liability becomes an issue. I actually think you have a cool product, I'd just really hate to see someone get hurt or yourself get sued because something silly occured like a boot sole getting hung when you need to be applying the brake. Regardless I won't say another word..... |

Cold lake Alberta | A friend has these, He cant reach em both at once and I could barely and uncomfortably
I have a 32" + inseam and am 5'10
Possibly they can be mounted further back to make em easier for shorter leg riders.
They sure look nice and I love the way they hide making them look like part of the bike.

Peachtree City, GA | I like the look and the concept a lot.
But - what happens if they catch on something?
Just a safety concern.

| Webhair - 2010-07-21 6:54 AM I like the look and the concept a lot. But - what happens if they catch on something? Just a safety concern. Webhair...just curious....what are you afraid they will catch?. The Whole assembly may only lower the floorboard clearance by about 1/2". The floorboard mount that attaches your floorboards to your bike sit much lower then that. There are other parts of the Vision and X-Series bikes that are mounted lower on the bikes. The great thing about these is that they are not even noticeable unless you actually point them out to someone.
They are recommended for tall riders. Medium and short riders would not be able to take full advantage of them. In fact, the person that actually designed them is a member here (chesshiretuna). And he uses them on his Vision on a daily basis. I am sure he would welcome any questions you may have if I can't answer them.

Central New York | Looking at these things, they just plain scare me. I can just picture getting my heel caught in a tire caucus or road debris and seeing my leg on the hood of a car in the rear view mirror. Besides that, cruis'in with your feet hang'in in the air is no position to be in if an emergency pops up. With nothing under your foot to push against your reaction time for any one foot is severely cut down. They may be comfy, but so is a hammock and a beer.

Rockford, IL | These are designed for slab riding, not tooling around local roads. Gives you a great alternative for comfort on the long distance journeys. You're not gonna want to be slicing corners with them out. As far as cornering with them in the "stowed" position I don't think there is any difference as far as clearances, so probably no risk of damaging. As far as some type of road debris flying and impacting your heel and shearing your leg off.....well....I guess if I lived my life worrying about the "one in a zillion" type things I sure wouldn't be riding a cycle. They are on my short list to order....soon.

Let's see what would I catch - everything - that is just my luck.
Seriously most likely nothing that would not catch with crash bars on a regular bike. It is just that your foot would not be able to naturally swing back in an emergency.
It sound like they would not work for me since someone said they are for tall riders. Oh well, I still like the stealth look and the concept of them.

take RT15 all the way, starting out on I-64 west of Richmond --- great ride, but you do run into some construction before you leave VA --- |
