Anybody using these? They actually rock or roll, front and back, supposedly giving some foot/ankle relief! I wonder? I saw them at the National Rally this year but could not get close enough to ask the seller/vendor. A rider report would be better anyhow, just how good they work. I'm a rider with some foot issues that may benefit from such a device:). Thanks, Randy:thumb

Pivot Pegz or Power Pegz. Only one of them is still in business. The difference between the two was an auto-return-to-center-position spring. I have the no-longer-in-business powerpegz without the return spring. They are much more comfortable than the fastway pegs they replaced which were much more comfortable than the stock pegs.

My bike is a regular GS, not a GSA, but that shouldn't make any difference.

I had the Pivot Pegz from Adventures Workshop on my '05 GS...they would NOT transfer to my '07GSA ,seems the mounts were a bit different in width. Anyways I liked them as you could roll your ankle to diff angles and seemed to provide a natural to your particular foot position feel. I have issues from previous broken bones in the foot so they worked for me. I miss them on my '09, just have not looked at upgrading them yet. I rode my bike across my property to the shop in very thin flip-flops...once:banghead those are some serious teeth! not sure if they have your model ,but here's the link. Maybe they changed design to fit both

Just buy them Randy, either pair that you can find. They provide so much better support while standing and actually help with shifting and braking while sitting or standing. You'll wonder why you didn't sooner... :thumb

I put Pivot Pegs(sp?) on my GS some time back and highly recommend them. Much more comfortable either on or off road!
Two points to note: they seem slighly lower than stock pegs with the rubber insert removed and thus shifter and brake may need adjustment to keep your feet from riding them. Also, (related to previous) they are about the same length as stock. I would have preferred to be able to shift my feet outboard another half inch or so. Otherwise great stuff!

I saw them at the National Rally this year and wondered. I do a fair amount of offroad too and it sounds like the right pegs for me and my tendons in the feet. THX, Randy:thumb:usa
