You don't want metal or even partly metal grips, transfers the vibes right into your hands.  I got trigger finger right after getting mine.

Pegs might fit, you'll have to drill out the hole.  but they may sag.

Cool looking pegs, but knowing my luck, I'd snag a pant leg on them backing out of a parking space or something, and end up in a pile on the ground.  Most likely in front of a bunch of cute women... Roll Eyes Grin

Those pegs should work, and you probably won't have too many times that you snag them on you pants/boots before you get used to them. Below is a pic of my bike when I first got it and the pegs the previous owner put on it. I have refinished the bike since then, but did not replace the pegs yet. I think one day I will likely replace them with an ISO-Peg to reduce some of the vibration, but it is not too bad and that's money I don't have to be spending on the bike right now  Sad

For the grips I really like the feel of the ISO grips that my brother has on his bike, so I think I will switch to those if/when I switch the pegs out.

Those pegs look great on your bike.  That's a pretty cool paint job too, looks very textured.

Thanks, but the previous paint-job was a rattle can faux/fleck stone paint job that looked decent from at least 10' away, but when you got close you saw all the problems. Since then I have completely re-did many factors on my bike.

Before:

After: (Still a rattle can paint job, flat black & gloss blue, but looks much better in my opinion-even at less than 10')  Cheesy

Decided to get some chrome pegs for 22$ on ebay sold by www.D2moto.com.  they are about 5$ more expencive by the same seller on amazon.com which was interesting.  They are passenger pegs to a kawasaki ninja.  they looked like they would fit.  they have a large countersink hole with a smaller diameter hole through the rest.  the tange on the peg is wider than the stock peg tang so I modified it.  

First step was to measure the stock peg width.  then mark this width on the new peg so that the countersink is ground off shown figure 1.  the through whole is almost the size of the stock peg it needs to be reemed out about .5mm very slightly.



Figure 1:cut line


you can see a comparison of the stock to the aftermarket and the modified aftermarket peg in figure 2.



Figure 2:comaprison

It can be seen in figure 3 the view of both pegs from driver view,  figures 4 and 5 are close up views of the pegs.



figure 3: both pegs driver view


figure 4: brake peg closeup


Figure 5: shift peg closeup


The pegs are aluminum so it was easy to grind off the extra metal with a grinder.  Could have used a band saw or hacksaw or machining tool.  shift peg is very sold and straight, the brake peg hangs 1 or 2 degrees because it's alittle loose, will probably jam a shim on top to keep the peg perfectly level.
