Something else to think about: The rubber on OEM-style pegs does a lot to keep vibration from reaching your feet. The fun-looking aluminum ones may not be as comfortable as the stockers.

OTOH, if you don't like the, ummm... rubbery feel of the stock pegs, it doesn't cost a lot to try aftermarket ones out.

Changing pegs is easy. Remove the clip holding the pin that holds your pegs in place, then slide the pin out. The spring may want to go flying, so make sure you track it down. Put the spring in the new peg in the same way that it was in the old peg, slide the peg into the footpeg bracket, and slide the pin through the holes to hold it. Re-attach the clip (on some models it may be a cotter pin) to secure it. Repeat on the other side.
