Hey guys,
Sorry it took so long to respond but i've been away.  I just got back from a 1,500 mile trip to the tail of the dragon from South Easter Michigan.  90% of the miles were on the slab.  Without these pegs, it just wouldn't have happened.  Its great for changing positions and getting some feeling back in the feet.  I have size 13 Icon Tarmac Ventilated (black not the white moon boot version).  I have had absolutely no interference as far as bumping them or hitting the other controls.  Along the journey, I found that not only can you put your feet on them but you can put your feet over them and rest them on the calfs.  This may be a problem on the '08-09's due to heat but absolutely no problems on the '10-11's.  My boots are ventilated so if there were heat problems, i would have found them right away.  I have about 6,000 miles with the pegs and couldn't get around without them.  I only use them on the slab or I would probably try and hit the invisible brake and shifter.

Install requires minimal to moderate handyman knowledge.  Anyone can do this with the instructions provided.  Just make sure you have some WD-40 handy.  These are aluminum and even with extensive usage, I've had no wearing of the powercoating.

A side note:  EVERYONE SHOULD VISIT THE DRAGON AT LEAST ONCE.

I actually find the opposite.  When my legs get warm these allow me to get some cooler fresh air.

I find it is both:  I can feel heat from the engine coming from the fins on my legs when I use Ronnie's pegs.  But there is also much more airflow, so they tend to cancel each other out.
