Does anybody have...

...the Moriwaki skid pads? I'm wondering if it's possible to rest your feet on them to relax your legs on a long expressway jaunt.

I'm also drooling over the ChicDesign long front fender (in chrome). The standard, stubby CB1100 fender is definitely NOT retro. I love the clutch cover with the window in it. Serves no purpose, but would be cool to watch your clutch spinning around - only when stopped, of course. Reminds me of the see-thru bevel drive cover all the Ducati guys put on their bikes in the good old days before Ducati went rubber.

All above on Samurider website.

I have this and no it does not let you rest your feet on them.

Thanks Iola, not the answer I was looking for, but what I needed to know. Appreciate it.

Better keep that information to yourself, Spaceman.

I agree with lola. No way I'd feel comfortable resting my feet on them.

I rest my feet on mine on longer rides. Its more my heel, otherwise you risk your boot sitting on the engine covers and I don't know how hot it takes to melt anything, I don't really want to find out. The're not purposed highway pegs, but they get your feet in a different position for a while and I find my boots don't slip off them like I thought they would. It's not the best riding position but it's a welcome change. I actually find putting one foot on the the skid pad and leaving the other on the peg is a nice change for a while, it gets you sitting in the saddle quite differently than both feet on the skid pads.

You can put your hand down now.

Kev,

That looks pretty good for at least a few minutes. I'm going to have to try it. I've had the Moriwakis since last year and never gave it try.

Whatever material they're made of the grip my shoes and boots well. It's a little weird feeling having both feet up, but I've never been on anything with highway pegs, it might not be all that different. Certainly is nice for a change. Pop the passenger pegs down as well, you can get your feet on those. You feel like your riding like superman but it's a different position and gives some relief.

 

[Lord Popgun]

Kev,

Well---I have done the passenger peg trick on other bikes, but I haven't done that yet either on this one...

Next time out I'm trying both.

 

[hedstrom_imp]

Thanks to everyone who responded, especially Kev.

I guess I'm the only one who wants to watch his clutch spin around.

I just put mine on yesterday afternoon, and I'd say, even with my size 11 feet, you could certainly do it.
However, when I tried, it doesn't feel right - or safe - to me. But then, I've never owned a cruiser, either...

Yeah, it's not any more comfortable than riding the normal pegs and to me it discerning not being on the controls. But after an hour or two it's a change that gives you a bit of relief. Great when your just eating miles cruising the highway, not in traffic or backroads. I've done two 400 miles days, wish I had them then. Came in handy last weekend doing 180 miles days.

Skid pads, frame sliders, crash pegs or crash bars, and chassis protector.

I ordered some generic ones because I couldn't locate any "frame sliders" on the internet or CB1100.com for my CB so I will make plates for them. I thought I would toss in a few AKA's and make it easier for the next feller to find these Moriwaki's.

 

[Lord Popgun]

Samurider and Webike have a number of sliders and crash bars, etc.
