JB4XX Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Buell XB rider pegs. Best bang for the buck. 26 bux a set from the Hardley/Buell Dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpg Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 +1 on the Buell XB-9 pegs - lowers about an inch, but feels SOOOO much more comfy... Cheap, and they take some grinding to fit, but well worth it... search for "buell pegs" (leave the quote marks in the search form), you'll find lots more about it..

They should be the same pegs if they are stock, same part # according to Ron Ayers, maybe it was because your 97 ones are worn as I noticed looking at the pics in some of the threads that the "ribs" on the pegs are quite high but on my 98 they are nearly flush with the bottom part of the rubber foot :icon_think: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a thread on using Buell Ullysses pegs as well on VFRD but I can not find it as they had a problem with being hacked recently and seem to have lost a lot of data :icon_think: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbed model rubber inserts are higher and have a different pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the confirmation...I have seen and ridden them both and know there had to be a difference once I looked them up online. This is the article I mentioned from VFRD that I borrowed [attachmentid=5596] Thank you for the help on this...I am 6' 2" and it will really help...looks like lots of guys use other pegs but these look like they are well worth a try if you don't have a grinder like me. I have an old buddy who is going to do the install.
