Wow!  I encourage anyone with 20 bucks and 20 min to get and install these pegs!  (assuming you hold the same disdain I did for the stock pegs).  Just finished installing them tonight, and went for a 30min ride.  I was pleasantly suprised, they felt GREAT!  If you were ever thinking about doing this stop thinking and get doing, these look and perform amazing.

Heres a few pics; (i didnt post any install pics, the wiki on this is very thorough and I followed it to a T)
This is them if you're interested; http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390329143186

Those look excellent.  This is definitely on my list of mods for the future after I get a few bucks saved up.  Did you do the rears as well?

They look too short to me. I frequently stand on the pegs when I'm navigating crappy road conditions or bumps.

I find the stock pegs performance to be amazing, at least, my feet don't fall off them. What else can a peg possibly do?

+1

But they'll also shave 100grams off of the weight and the bike can go quicker accordingly.

Thanks.  I did buy new rears as well (and removed stock rears) but haven't gotten around to installing them yet (and I rarely have a passenger anyway).  They grip incredibly well, in fact as well as the stocks in my opinion.  Foot doesnt slide/move at all.  I found on several occasions the stock fatty rubber ones would grab or catch my foot if I was getting back on the peg/taking off etc because of the million tonnes of rubber they have on them ... Its funny, I would have thought these wouldn't be comfortable but they are.  Length is great too, no issues at all standing etc.  Its of course a personal preference doing something like this but even if you don't like it you didnt exactly mortgage your house for them either

Very nice! I'd seen it in the FAQ but haven't done it myself. Looks like an easy upgrade.

they looks really good, would like to see a photo of yer foot on the peg!

i've been considering picking up a set, but since i don't have the parents garage all the time now. i find myself bangin my shins on the pegs getting the bike in/out the door to my little shop room.

kind of thread jacking... but anyone know of aftermarket pegs that still have some rubber coating for shin protection?

I put the GSXR pegs on mine a few months ago and haven't looked back. They add about 3/4" of leg room, a plus for taller riders. The bolt on mine kept coming loose so that they would keep turning upside down while riding. I used some threadlock on the bolts and it hasn't happened since.

I have a similar peg on my 'other' bike and they are great.  The stock GS' pegs are some of the ugliest I've ever seen.  I think your bike looks much better with the new pegs!  Smokin'!!

Hows this angle?

what type of turn indicators are those?

ordered!

yours really do look great, and thanks for the extra photos. compared side by side with stockers i thought they didn't look wide enough for a foot, but with the boot shots they look perfect!

Heres my post on the signals I installed;

I got them from a web store called luckybike;  You can get them in a 23w halogen or LEDs, I went bulb, I dont know enough about LED's and at a minimum I know that when a bulb blows you can replace it.  I dont know how LEDs work?

They really are comfortable and the more I ride the more I like them.  The real  kicker for me was when I rode my buddy's GSXR600 for a weekend, his stock pegs are similar and I couldnt get over how damn comfortable they were. 

hell yeah, good to hear. the more i ride with my 89 clip on's the more i'm looking into rearset. these will be a welcomed add-on til i can make up my mind on my rearset route

Get longer bolts. The bolts those ship with are fairly short and stop in the smaller diameter section of the bracket that are inside of the actual pegs. The brackets are threaded all the way through the larger section and a longer bolt will give it more strength. I broke one of those cast brackets where the bracket gets larger and used a longer bolt to keep it together until I just recently replaced these pegs with the LSL pegs another member posted that are made for the GS but about 3 times the price.

shitty, didn't realize these were shipping from singapore.. ordered two sets since i found on the wiki page that you can use these as our front and rear pegs.  can't wait to get them in!

thanks for the info Asym! i will definitely get some longer bolts

I received mine in the other day and they are SIGNIFICANTLY smaller than the originals and I don't think they are going to work on the rear at all.  I paid less the $20 shipped for two sets off of fleabay and I'm considering just sticking with the originals.

they're definitely smaller than the stockers, but i've got a smaller foot and i don't move much on the pegs so i think i'll be ok.

check the wiki page for rear peg installation instructions:
