    They're XB12S pegs, think the 12X pegs would fit too, bit wider.

    I've fitted them to a couple of bikes for other people, popular tweak.

    Aye, normally your foot can cover the mount too, with the drop your foot is forced out an inch. Don't matter much on the original Buell, they're very narrow anyway.
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    Perhaps this is adding to the scraping, in addition to being lower.
    They're about 15 mm longer than OEM and look pressure die cast. If I'd had the balls of my feet on the pegs, the boots wouldn't have touched so it was just a learning curve and I was being a bit lazy. I didn't find any problem with my feet being a tad wider and I can always angle them onto the hanger if absolutely necessary.

    If I was doing another trackday, I'd put the old pegs back but I'm sure that the new setup will deliver more advantages than disadvantages on the road. Got a 500 km ride tomorrow to do some mentoring in Auckland so that should be a good test of them.
