Several companies offer replacement pegs for your sport motorcycle. Performance pegs will be very different in appearance and materials than OEM pegs. ProTek, Gilles Tooling, Competition Werkes, Superpole, Emgo and Vortex all make one of two basic styles of performance enhancing footpegs: round and slash cut. While similar in function (both strive to increase grip on your boot, and increase lean angle by removing unnecessary material), they are still different and will feel different to you, the rider. | Several companies offer replacement pegs for your sport motorcycle.

We definitely '''do not recommend''' slash cut pegs. | We definitely '''do not recommend''' slash cut pegs. They're unsafe. | ||
Round pegs are machined from a piece of round billet aluminum. They are generally a little shorter (1/2" per peg, approximately) and hence are less likely to scrape during extreme lean angle. The surface is a knurled finish, uniform all around the peg, and, like the slash cut pegs, can be found in a variety of colors. | Round pegs are machined from a piece of round billet aluminum.
