I can tell you that I have them but I haven't installed them yet as they need to be ground down to fit. Just a minor amount. They definitely lower your foot about an inch though.

The mounting areas of the Buell peg need to be ground down a little bit, not only to fit within the bike's mounts, but also to get the proper angle on the pegs (so they sit 90 degrees perpendicular to the bike).
I removed the hero tabs from the bottom of mine. I haven't noticed any loss of cornering clearance, as the stock pegs had quite a bit of material (both rubber and metal), under them.
Between my aftermarket (much higher) seat, and the Buell pegs, my seat-to-peg distance is now about 22". For comparison, my ST1300, which is very comfortable, is about 20.5".
