I'm looking for a more dirt oriented set of pegs for my wife, not for me. The ones from Pure Performance Cycles would be great if they were for the pillion position, but I think they are for the rider position. If the rider's pegs would fit, I'd just buy another set and put them on the rear, but I don't think that will work.
Well, since I have my front pegs off at the moment, I just went and pulled off a pillion peg to compare them. The pillion peg is the standard Yamaha style with a spring, ball and shim stop with notches and holes for the ball to snap into, (they look identical to my old FJR pegs, which were the same for all four). The peg itself is .778 wide, the slot is .860 wide and the front peg is .936 wide. So you would need to sand/file/machine the front pegs down .076", (less than a tenth of an inch), for them to fit into the slot. Easy enough to do with a good file and a vice to hold the peg in. Or just a couple of hits on the belt sander.
Since the front peg has a round standoff for the spring, it appears that you could do most/all of this on that side w/o issue and still have room for the spring. The angles line up fine for the front pegs being used on the rear, near as I can tell w/o actually grinding the pegs down myself. The shape of the part that fits into the slot is essentially the same, the pin hole is the same size diameter too.

The cotter pins can be re-used a few times, but it would be cheap to pick up some new ones at your local hardware store. They are about $1 each if ordered as yamaha parts.
Hope that helps. And that's cheaper than most, (maybe all), of the aftermarket alternatives. I've just spent way too much time looking for adjustable front pegs to move them forward for my wife to use. Ended up buying some off eBay for $60 out of Hong Kong that have crappy pegs, (think sport bike style round knurled aluminum), but will give us an idea of if that makes enough of a difference for her before spending the big $$ for something like the Gilles pegs from Pure Performance.
