The pegs take 2 seconds to fit.. And then you spend the next half an hour adjusting the brake/shifter.
That 1 inch makes a massive difference tho.
Enjoy

Make sure you do the adjustment, or your brake light will be permanently on.

I'm honestly not that impressed by the buell pegs either, they do lower you're feet to a better height but they feel to narrow and put you're heel to close to the exhaust.I wouldn't be game to stand up on them.

i wanted lower pegs on my busa because of an old motorbike injury so i got the vario footpegs with a 30mm drop and a 360 degree rotation and they did make abit of differance they are very light and well made only down side is i scrap my right boot when over low but thats more to the fact i cant bend the knee far enough back to out my toes on the footpeg.
SPEED ISN,T EVERYTHING BUT IT SURE IS FUN.

I've been using mine for a while now and find them infinitely more comfortable than the OEM pegs. I no longer get hip cramps.
As for your concerns about putting weight on the pegs, well, I'm 96kg and they haven't broken yet. (Fingers crossed.)

I'm pretty sure BMW has them on some of their bikes. Anyway, I ride through winter without heated grips. Even in NZ I had no problems with getting cold fingers. It seems to affect some people more than others.
