The only two options I've seen for upgraded footpegs are:

American Sport Bike: $99 for the drop mount and $30 for the peg

Ebay: Knight cnc shop - $65 & $75 (black) billet

Any other good ones out there with the 1" drop?

The Ss has 1" drop pegs standard. They're cheap. In every conceivable way.

I just ordered the ones from American Sport Bike... should be here today, as a matter 'o fact!

I thought all the "S" models came with a 1" drop from the factory.
Are you wanting an additional 1" drop (2" total)?

I went the other way and got traction pegs which are the same as the "R" models, straight out.
If you're not the original owner maybe someone swapped the S pegs for R pegs like me.
If so then get some stock S pegs, they're dirt cheap.

I have the "S" pegs on my "R" to get the 1" drop.

Oh, do all S models have the 1" drop? I was thinking it was just the Ss... y'know, that whole "more relaxed" riding position thing. Maybe they do!

Yep.

Doubt it, that would be dangerous

If you get the Ulysses footpeg mounts it will drop you a few more inches. You will need to either modify your lightning pegs a bit to use them, or get Uly pegs too.

I want to do the same thing to my R.

The Uly has the extra ground clearance to make up for it though. Dunno what you'd be left with if you go dropping the pegs 2-3" on a standard S model. You may wind up with some cruiser-ish lean angles.

Does American Sport Bike sell just the stock S pegs? I see the aftermarket stuff on there...but I dont see the stock pegs.

I was just looking for a replacement to the standard footpeg (yes,std has a 1" drop)

My RH peg broke and a new one is only $16 from HD($26 for the pair). Just curios if there was a better & stronger alternative, for not a whole lot more moohla.

For something my nappy boot stomps on, $16 bucks is looking hard to beat (although Al's LSL pegs sure are pretty!)

Yep, I have already touched the feelers on my SS with Uly peg mounts, and I was not even getting overly aggressive. I didn't want the lower height, I just wanted the ability to mount hard bags easily on my bike.

Here's my Ss/Uly mix. They're lower, but I wouldn't call it crusier-ish


Stock SS




Ss wth Uly pegs

Yeah, looks like there's still plenty of room there. I'd love to use the Uly pegs on mine, but I refuse to give up the S-style heel guards. I'm not fond of the way they rigged the Uly peg mounts. Just a style preference. Dunno why they couldn't make the pegs fit the same way as all the others... hell, everything else on these bikes is interchangeable, why switch up the footpegs?

I like how the mounts carry the line of the frame back further, but I don't like the passenger peg. I use a Corbin gunfighter now and never have a passenger so I may cut them off. I go back and forth on it.

The Uly pegs will fit fine on the XB brackets, its just a little loose as the Uly pegs have a smaller hinge.

On an SS with Uly peg mounts you'll have about the same lean angle as an XT.

FYI

Uly pegs also come in polished Al for about half the price of the black.

How about rearsets? Does the Uly convert set the peg mount rearward any? I'm 6'6", and my boots are size 13. The shifter and brake get a little cramped for me sometimes. I was gonna fab up a new peg mount, but if I can get the same effect for just a little coin....

Marko asked if American Sport Bike sells the stock S pegs and the answer is no.
Apparently there is a history of those cast pegs breaking as has been reported by a few folks on the BadWeB.

But the dropped pegs that American Sport Bike sells are much sturdier and have various options as to style and color.
I was interested in the S pegs for a new bike and Al showed me the LSL/silver round peg combo. Done deal!

<has uly pegs on my cityx with no mods. The springs (and you feet) keep them from wiggling around with maybe the extra 1/8" in the mount. I was looking for a wider peg for use in commuting and such.

Just got my LSL scalloped in gunmetal with the 1" drop mount. They look GREAT, and feel much better than the Crossroads competition ones I had installed.
