Looking for flatter footpegs....

Wondering if anyone has put on wider flatter footpegs, particularly on the right side. I always try to ride with the ball of my foot on the peg so as not to actuate the brake light accidentally, but a wider peg sure would be more stable and comfortable. I've seen some nice Kuryakin (sp) pegs but not sure if they'll fit the Bonnie. Any thoughts?

These are about the only ones I've seen that give better grip.

I've got the Kuryakyn switchblades, with the Triumph adapters.

tba-do you find that they drop down on you if you apply too much heal pressure?

I have the Kuryakyn switchblades too. Not sure how they will look on a bonnie tho, as they have some chrome and look rather cruiser like. But they work great and as golfer said they will fit with the additional adapters. Just make sure you get the version of the peg that does NOT come with any adapters or you'll end up paying more and throwing the adapters away since you have to buy the seperate Triumph ones. The switchblades are nice, but there are other flat ones they have too which you may like better if you don't care for the blade part of the switchblades. I don't after owning them. So If i buy another set for my next bike i will likely buy the Kuryakyn "swept wings". Check those out....they look very cool IMO.

Thanks for the responses guys. Glad to know there is a Triumph adapter for the Kuryakyn pegs. They have a nice selection. Time to go shopping.
