first, i'd like to thank all of you folks' input over this last year. it seems that all the workshop manuals are mere footnotes to the collective knowledge this board has and i'm grateful for your friendly help.
and now my question
i've heard mention of footpegs that you can buy that are not rigid. They have some kind of swivel that (in my mind at least) is much more similar to the footpegs on modern street bikes. i have been grinding the rubbers off of my stock footpegs in the hills and am looking for something that won't unweight the tires when it kisses the ground. i don't feel ready to go the whole clip-ons and rear sets route as i still like to carry passengers.
has anyone any experience with these? or does anyone have any suggestions for intermediate steps between what i've got and the full-on race gear?
also, i am fully aware that the easiest solution to this problem is to slow down and be happy with what i've got. i'm hoping for another option.
thanks,
jeremy
