They worked good!

Different for sure..in ways I didn't expect...but good overall.

More vibration to my footses. I s'pose that is due to the larger contact area of the three rows of teeth.

The extra width is 'forward' of the OEM pegs. That along with new teeth got my boot stuck under the shifter a few times. If the KDX had a vernier style shift lever adjustment, I'd raise the lever a bit..but one tooth is too much.

Although still too wide at the knees to be comfortable (the bike) for me..it IS easier standing on straight pegs! :shock: Imagine!

Didn't whack them on anything..so can't say how long it will take 'til they look like the pics posted earlier. Hope it's at least a bit of awhile!

And here we are...back from Idaho!

I banged these pegs so many times I lost count. Somtimes a tap I could feel the spring give to, sometimes a hit that knocked the bike sidewise. Tore the toe clip off one boot. Ski I think bent up both of his clips. I'm sayin' things were getting smacked on a regular basis. Even my Listeriine bottle!!

Not a one of them left a mark, bent a peg, kitty-wampussed or caterwauled a peg.

Seems to have been $25 well spent!

I can testify that carvr worked those pegs and hard too!! Our boots are pretty thrashed from all the hits, the pegs really took a beating. BTW, carver found they even work upside down if necessary....

I dunno 'bout that.

I mean...they WERE upside down quite a bit, but I don't know how well they were WORKING then.

I crashed more in three days than in the past three years.
