--------------------

Ride4now, my Kijima guards are 1" diameter. I'm not certain, but to my eye, the Honda guards appear to be the same.

This has been a pet peeve of mine for ages. Especially when there's pages of photos etc. Seems like the hosting software could recognize that and limit the amount of re-posted data.

Don't do it unless you want to find yourself buying pirate clothes and your bike leaking oil.

Bruce, and ferret..... My apologies for sounding so harsh in my comment. I meant it more like a whine than how it sounded.

No prob. it will happen as long as guys hit quoted reply instead of just new reply or use quick reply box. Just have to learn the nuances of the system. Takes awhile sometimes.

Thanks for the comments...especially the one about ground clearance (I didn't think of that) as well as the one showing alternatives from Twisted Throttle. I've done business with TT for my KLR and I like their products. I'll check them out. Thanks!

Don't know if you have considered this, or not, but it is my MAIN consideration for highway pegs. In an emergency situation, where milliseconds of reaction time counts, do you want your feet out in front of you, and away from your rear brake & shifter?

Since most of us here are old farts with 40+ years of riding experience, I won't play that card. But, as a subset of that experience, talk to the guys that spent most of it off road, where fast direction changes and body position are a critical factor. Just from a matter of always being sure I am doing the most I can to insure safe riding and survival, I could never run down the road with my feet stuck out in front of me.

On the other hand, there are long, flat straight stretches of interstate from which you can see the road for 20 miles ahead of you... These are also legitimate places to be on a motorcycle :-)
