Has anyone replaced the rider foot pegs?

[georgeg]

Has anyone ever replaced the rider foot pegs with something more robust? I find that after riding for several hours the bottoms of my feet begin to get sore. I was looking at a few products offered by Kuryakin but wanted to get some feedback before I made the switch. I've never ridden a bike with floor boards but I suspect it is much more comfortable than the standard slim pegs that come with the FJR.

Thanks in advance!

Check with TWN. He actually replaced his with a set that was adjustable. I forget what they were called. I'll try to find the thread.

IMO, if you add floorboards to the FJR you will be handicapping cornering ability. What about mounting points for floorboards, will you need more than one? Have you checked into getting a better or sturdier pair of riding boots/shoes?

Rather than floor boards I was thinking of pegs like these: Kuryakyn #7963

Kuryakyn make some nice stuff, I have their highway pegs.

But the problem is that it's just so damn shiny!

But they look pretty comfy. 'Specially with those flip-flops.

OCfjr, I have been using a pair of Vendramini boots for the last 10+ years but have got a pair of Sidi B2 Gore boots on order.

Send them to Girauld for powdercoating....that's what I did.

Great quality with either of those. I have noticed discomfort with leather soled boots in the past, but not with the more modern riding boot designs. I've been wearing Oxtar Matrix boots for the last 90k or so w/o discomfort. I do wonder if the insole/shank of your Vendraminis has broken down over time and adding to your discomfort. I believe that was part of my issue with a well used set of WestCo boots I had been using.

Good luck with the changes and share your impressions with the forum after you've had some time to evaluate the new pegs and boots.

Thanks everyone for the info. I like the idea of powdercoating the shine out of the Kuryakyns! I think this is the route I'll go.
