Several companies offer replacement pegs for your sport motorcycle. There are generally two types: replacements that focus on price point (similar to OEM pegs, often identical in appearance) and replacements that focus on performance. BikeMaster is one of the biggest replacement OEM peg dealers, followed closely by Kuryakyn. Both offer reasonable quality at much cheaper than OEM costs. Performance pegs will be very different in appearance and materials than OEM pegs. ProTek, Gilles Tooling, Competition Werkes, Superpole, and Vortex all make one of two basic styles of performance enhancing footpegs: round and slash cut. While similar in function (both strive to increase grip on your boot, and increase lean angle by removing unnecessary material), they are still different and will feel different to you, the rider.

While similar in function (both strive to increase grip on your boot, and increase lean angle by removing unnecessary material), they are still different and will feel different to you, the rider.

Round pegs are machined from a piece of round billet aluminum, and offer increased grip over 99% of stock footpegs. In addition, they are generally a little shorter (1/2" per peg, approximately), and hence are less likely to scrape during extreme lean angle. The surface is a knurled finish, uniform all around the peg, and, like the slash cut pegs, can be found in a variety of colors.
