Foot Pegs
I'm looking to replace my stock (rubbery feeling) pegs with something
that offers a better, none slip feel to the foot. Other then adapting a
moto cross peg to the bike, which is overkill, does anyone have a good
suggestion for me. I've looked a little into the EMGO anodized pegs, but
not sure I'm crazy about the roundness of the peg. Seems to me that in hard cornering your foot would tend to roll off.

EMGO anno peg: I am using those right now. The anno wears off after a bit. The roundness is not an issue with me if I am wearing proper footwear. Riding boots with grippy rubber? No problem. Cowboy boots with leather soles? I've had a foot slip in a hard turn. I grip pretty well with my knees, so it's not really an "oh ****" moment, but more like a "huh?".
That being said, I wouldn't recommend them to everyone, and am also interested in what other people use. I know a few taller people use the dropped Buell footpegs.

That's the issue also. I'm five eleven, but on the lighter side of the scale for my hight. But you can see that my foot seems to rest more to the forward face of
the peg then the top. I sometimes need to remind myself to place my foot back on the peg.

Thank you merckid, they do look like they would work. Have you tried
them yourself, or just sold them ?

I don't notice any extra vibration, even on extended rides. But I may not be the best judge of that... sometimes I'm unknowingly tolerant to those things. I drive around an '87 pickup that I happily take on 15 hour trips, and some people I can't pay to join me in a drive across town.
You think your feet go numb from vibration or maybe circulation being restricted somewhere along the leg?

FYI, I did not notice any more vibs through these pegs compared to the stock pegs. I thought it might be a problem, but fortunately it was not.
The only complaint I have, is it forces your foot out another 1/2" or so, but I found this to be a much better solution, having tried the Buell peg conversion first. These you can move up, down, forward, back, (within their range of adjustment), as I and other members here that have these can attest to.
