Throwing out a feeler here;
We built these billet pegs with the Ulysses in mind but with a few minor adjustments they could easily be fitted for 1125. Is this something that you sportbike guys would be interested in? I've been around and ridden bikes my entire life but have never ridden a sportbike on a closed course so I have no idea if these would work well for racing application but I do know that these things rock for traction and comfort on the street compared to the stockers.

They are approx. 1" lower than the stock pegs which is much more comfortable for me and I'm a hair under 6'. I guess you'd sacrifice a little on how far you could lay the bike over..

Anyway, let me know what you guys think. Of course they'll be offered in Hard Black Anodize plus maybe a couple of other colors.

Thanks for your time!

Here are a couple of pics with them on a 1125.

Wow. I was going to order a set of the Uly pegs, but those are virtually floorboards!

How much?

Yeah, these things are great! Much better than stock and much better than the "slippery when wet" Uly pegs. imo..

Price point should be right around $100/pair

Are they stronger than the stock pegs?

Oh Yeah! Lets just put it this way, the rear sets will break before our pegs will!

Check out my resent question and responses about the problem with stronger pegs on the 1125 in this thread.

Great Point! These pegs could easily be designed to have the equivalent breaking point as the cast pieces.

Availability depends on the amount of interest we receive. Lets say there were 8-10 folks who could seriously commit to buying a pair, you could expect availability within 2 weeks.

Those do look nice.
Is that as much drop as the Uly peg?

Yeah, a better footpeg that can hold up on a track day would be nice. Now, these are Ulysses pegs, they work better for a guy long in the legs, but make no mistake, they once had the full feeler knob on them.
