Nice piece of kit hand built to order to fit the 600ss......amazing price and quality.............

those that have ordered yours will be exactly the same.......

Ali and i used them at silverstone they are 1 inch up and 1 inch back and that suited us both perfectly.....

Not personally - I got a friend who has a lathe and CNC machine in his workshop to sort them for me :D

Same idea though, a simple plate with a load of holes in it to give adjustable positioning for the footpegs. Mine uses the original levers though.

makes the riding position feel alot better and aids with ground clearence, the standard pegs made me feel like i was on a Fatboy..........now its a more race like position.........

Those pegs look very slippery. You might want to think about getting them knurled. Simply circular grooves are not sufficient in my experience. Seriously.

The are a big slippy. I'll be using a couple of cable ties (knobbly bit upwards) at cadwell and looking to get them knurled afterwards.

You can't be serious! Take the pegs off, use a triangular file and make V grooves all around, especially at the outer ends.

Phil

Although it must be said a friend of mine who has raced for 15 years has used them without any issues

That's really surprising. Have you tried them in the wet, yet?

As always, use your best judgement, but in my experience heavily knurled pegs give you much better feel, especially in the wet and when hanging off.

No have not tried in the wet...thats why im taking your advice and getting the file out, even if i make a few cuts into them its gonna help i guess.

PVA with sand sprinkled on top, that should give plenty of grip. Sharp sand that is. :D
