It's already quite a spectacle following me, no sparks needed.. :D
Only if we can keep up.

I've always figured since I'm already there every couple of yrs for shifter & brake pedal clean and lube, I pull the pegs off, clean, inspect & lightly lube like everything else.

Follow-up on this subject, As expected the cheapo pegs i bought on Amazon are worth about what i paid for them. With just 2500 miles on them in the past week the rubber pads are falling apart. And of course the mounting holes are different than OEM so I can't move the OEM pads onto these.. I'm going to order OEM and then send these back to Bezos for a refund.

I’d be more than happy to swear under oath that having watched you ride for many, many miles, there is no way in hell you could be speeding through those curves. -0face

We stand too much for Chinese pegs. I’m glad you’re ordering OEM.

They're stock pegs, just a little worn from riding two up in the twisties... EOM was a little rough on tires and pegs.
