Interesting and kinda cool. I would like to see them installed first. And what secures them to the factory mounted rubber floorboards??

I received my Ness brake peg this week. Little pricey at $42 delivered, but looks real nice. I found the stock peg to be a little short. I had to cock my foot to the left to use it. The Ness peg is about 50% longer.

I honestly dont wanna be resting my boot bottoms with gravel grit and dirt on a chrome piece. After the first ride and its scratched I know Im gonna be pissed, and if It doesnt happen, then i have to fret over when it will.... Thats one piece of chrome that I think I can do without........... (wow, i can't believe i just said that .... NO... to chrome.... SOMEONE CALL THE NURSE !!!!!

I had the same floor board on my kingpin. The small rubber inserts keeps the soles of your boots off the Chrome. After 1 year there were some hairline scratches when you looked closely... but not really bad at all.

Although I liked them on my Kingpin.. for some reason I do not feel the same about the appearance of them on the Vision. Maybe because they look so large I think they are a little to much. JMO....

How are they for long distance, rain and the such? I'm looking for functional so I'd be game for them if they did more than just look good, as described. I was asked today about the sound of my Vision with the stock pipes and he wondered if I didn't want it louder. Before I gave it any thought I said when the stocks wear out I might go to the S1L1 pipes. I'm cheap in my own rights but it comes from being functionally practical, thus the Vision.

On my Kingpin they did not have the same grip as the stock ones. Again not terrible, just not as good. Although I got them just to dress up the kingpin.... I do not think they will dress up the Vision. JMO.

Somewhat related-as to the heated grips on the Vision I wanted to dress them up with some chrome-however, there are no aftermarket grips that I have seen for the Vision that are heated. Hate to lose the heat for appearance. Has anyone seen heated aftermarket grips for the Vision.
