I have been looking for foot pegs that are bit bigger and wider then what is available in today's after market. I am big guy and have wide feet. So the pegs I have tried to date the SW motech, pivot peg,tourtech and the like; they basically add between 10 to 30 % in foot peg real-estate at a hefty cost but not very comfortable. I am willing to pay the cost but the product in return does not meet my need. That when I talked with Travis at ThunderMFG here in phoenix, AZ. They manufacture high performance motorcycle parts. They have a CNC machine shop. I asked if they can make a foot peg from a single piece aluminium that light weight, very very strong for someone who weight north of 250 Lb, it is cost competitive, has aggressive teeth for grip while riding off road and it is BIG in size with capital B. Travis went to work and this is what they came up with (see photos in link Extra large foot pegs https://picasaweb.google.com/112522046513162436640/S10ExtraLargeFootPegs?authuser=0&feat=directlink).
Just last weekend, I finished a 500 mile off road ride through the mountainous in southern AZ including US-Mexico border. This pegs held up with me pounding on them - let me rephrase abusing them. They are strong - very strong. The comfort in this wide pegs is unbelievable I can stand for very long time - as it feels like i am standing on a platform - with out any discomfort what so ever. The teeth on these are excellent no slippage with excellent boot grip. I would highly recommend this pegs to someone who rides long road tours, aggressive single track trials or bunch of wide open dirt fire/forest roads and looking for better comfort in their pegs.
