Just installed the quite expensive IMS ADV I footpegs.
I didn't realize how big they were. They are HUGE.
With their 5.3 inch in length, I find them borderline dangerous when it's time to put a foot on the ground.
I'll give them a try to get use to it. But first impression was not good.

Voilà - The IMS extra width and surface is nice, the construction is well done.
BUT
The length is obstructing when you have to put your foot on the ground at complete stops or for dabbing.
IMS added a stopper preventing it to fold completely. Most likely for security to avoid this crocodile jaw to bite you in a fall. Someone reported on another forum that with these pegs he bent his peg mount (welded to the frame) during a casual fall at slow speed. He had to cut the whole thing out off the frame and rebuild / re welded it to the frame. NOT FUN! When the stock pegs are stressed enough, they will snap off instead of damaging the mount/fame.
I did replace the flimsy pegs on my previous bikes (CRF250l, KLR, DRZ400 and Africa Twin) but they were all about the same length as the stocks. After market were just made with better grip and less flex. I think Yamaha did a decent job with the stock pegs on the S10. I should have tried them without the rubber pad before compulsive buying those IMS'.
Many folks are raving about the IMS ADV I... I might be over reacting.
