I am wanting to add pegs on my 2012 ST for added comfort on longer rides. With a 34” inseam, it would be nice to stretch out a bit. Show me your setup and your opinions as well. Thanks

Works well given the RideOnAdv plate. About $35 on Ebay or Amazon. I can install or remove in 5 minutes if I want them out of the way for off road. (They do fold too but still stick out a couple inches.) Pegs are bolt mounted through an Aluminum wedge in the bash plate holes. Longer highway rides are much more enjoyable. Fashioned some rubber treads from the side tread of a E07+.

I installed these T-Rex pegs on my Givi crash bars.

Jeff, does this setup put your feet up high? I was thinking (for me) having the pegs lower down by the skid plate would be more comfortable. Your thoughts welcomed. Thanks

They are forward and a little higher than the main pegs. Even with that they will touch down before the main pegs due to how wide they need to be mounted. Luckily when I grounded one my foot was not on it and they fold back easily. The brackets are very adjustable, but I’d be extremely leery of mounting them any lower.

A few better pictures. These might work on some other plates.

Well, those are all good...And traditionally placed... but I had a week before going to Alaska and I wanted a way to change position. I was sitting on the bike and thought of this as I swung my leg up. I mostly ride with one leg up but can do 2. It sure let's air go up your leg for cooling effect! Also I have found out they are great for hanging my helmet on and also my water bladder back pack on. Or a lantern when camping and setting up.20230721_180336.jpg

Here's mine just finished on the '23 with the Trex bars and pegs. They fold up so only the outer plate extends past the bars. Don't know if they are in the right location yet but it is a start. These things are infinitely adjustable. How they design these things I don't know.
