My wife bought me the Traction Grips and Traction Pegs (although she forgot the rider ones) for Christmas. Just got the rider pegs in today so I installed all of it today. The little touches like that and the Select seat really make a difference as far as comfort goes. I took it out for a little jaunt today and I REALLY like the difference!

I was thinking of getting the foot peg,I allready have grips. Can you tell any difference when you ride from the foot pegs or do they just look cool.

The little bit I have ridden it seems to me they feel better. They are just a bit longer and I feel like my boots are more stable on them than the metal pegs. The feet don't slide on the rubber, either. The base is a real nice piece of billet. The only pain in installing them was putting the front ones on trying to get the spring in just right to get the pin through without it popping out. Few choice words in my garage!!!

OH-and if you do the back, there is a ball bearing that compresses a spring and a spacer plate-be careful when you take them off so as not to lose the parts-take it out slowly!
