What do stock footrests look like with the rubber cut off?
 
Anyone have any pics of the stock pegs with the rubber removed? (If so can you paste them into the response as an image, not a link to photobucket etc as I can't see them in work)

Well on the curvy at least they are GSXR pegs :-)

I don't have rubber feet on my two SVs.

Don't have an image right now, but if I remember will take one when I'm doing my sale pics later.

Thanks mate, just want to know if there's any grooves on it (as per the pillion pegs) before I cut it off.

I have read that alot but to me it seems as though there is a high lip on the outside of the peg which would make it look strange? Maybe it's just the way the rubber is on.

Anyway - I am also interested to see pictures as the rubber is wearing down on mine and starting to look gash!

Yellow curvy with the original pegs on with the rubber cut off, which I did myself. Got the idea from my black SV pictured below the first.....

Might be a daft question, but did you find that your boot soles wore quicker?

Nope.

Ooooh.....yum yum...rubber is coming off tomogs and then they're getting powdercoated!

Thanks for sorting the images out!

yep pointy's look the same, they're much better for not randomly (well not really... physics and all that) losing grip & your footing mid-way round a wet corner.

Not noticed any rapid sole wear
