I noticed when the weather gets cold, my feet cramp up on a long ride cause there is very little contact area between my boot and the stock peg. I would like a flatter peg or switchblade unit to relieve this problem. Anyone know of a product to fit the speedy peg holders ?

I have the Kuryakyn switchblades. What i find, and of course YMMV, is that the pegs are great to cure the exact problem you describe. Funny thing is tho, i don't even use the extended blades because they feel better w/o them. They make some other models w/o blades, but the switchblades even w/o the extenders seem to have the biggest contact area. Tho the duallys seem to be almost as big, so maybe thats a better option and they're cheaper. They look great too. you do have to get the triumph adapters tho. Total cost is about $100 and up depending where you get them.
I found the cheapest price at Oneida suzuki......

Switchblades(choose the one with no mounts, #4446)
Triumph adapters
I think i may be responsible for that suzuki dealer carrying triumph adapters because they didn't have them when i got mine and they had to order them for me. Then i posted that this place has them the cheapest at the BA forum and i think a lot of people then got them there and when the suz dealer saw they were getting a lot of orders for triumph adapters they began stocking them.

Normandy-
One minor caveat, that Daz and I found. They are a bit of a hassle to tighten. You need a long, thin shaft with an allen head (can't remember the size) to get enough torque to tighten down.
Elsewise, they are really comfortable.

I heard a while back that Kuryakyn changed them so that they are splined or some such thing. So they shouldn't spin. How true, i dunno.....read it at BA.

British Customs has both types, the Iso dually pegs and the switchblades to fit the Speedy. I have the Dually pegs they are great,much better than stock and look good!

I just saw they have a new one. Looks kinda cool, tho i'd have to see them on the bike. But i think i like these.
