I recieved my Mick-O-Pegs yesterday and installed them. The temps were a little low so I did not have a chance to use them for an extended time, it gets pretty cold with your feet out in the winds at 38 degrees. I had a hard time making up my mind between J-Pegs and Mick-O-Pegs and using both just seemed like overkill. I often found myself hanging my feet down and resting my boots on the front of the pegs. Of course I had to keep my legs slightly elevated and the effort was too much to live with for long periods but the position is comfortable. I also was concirned about the looks of the Mick-O-Pegs, the amount of hardware visable compared to J-Pegs seemed considerable. As a note I had tried the Suburban Machinery foot peg relocaters and for whatever reason the position did not work for me-well made product and great comany to deal with though.
My opinion after my short experience is totally favorable. As far as appearance I am pleased. They are visable but very well made and have a finished and quality appearance. They look as if they belong--as if they could very well be a BMW accessory, what elso could I say--I actually like the way they look. As far as how they work I could not be happier. The pegs angle up at the ends (for those who ski imagine the snow plow position) and this angle keeeps your legs resting in toward the middle of the bike without having to exert any muscle energy. After I place my feet on the pegs and adjust there position I can "totally" relax my legs and and they just stay there. This ought to be a great relief for those long rides and concirns about DVT that have been talked about in length among you "ironbutt" riders out there.
I like 'em.
