I am considering getting these pegs. Has anyone used these or any other type of non-stock pegs?

Hi Fred, I was looking at those. I like the ability to clock them, to get them where you want.
Go ahead and try them out and let us know how they work...
Yes please report back if you try them. My aching hip joints would appreciate it. Nice find!
They are a great idea, wonder if monkey could make some :scratch_one-s_head:
Tiny Tim has some sort of Buell pegs on his FJ for a bit more legroom, not sure what model though. They may be unavailable by now anyway.

If I could borrow a set I might figure out how to make them.
I'm 6'8" and installed the buell lowering pegs, it made a huge difference in comfort for me.

Well???? Who makes them? Who did you buy them from? Can you still find them???
Here's a good video that shows the construction and installation. Twisted Throttle sells them in the U.S. but I didn't see that they have one to fit the FJ. ?

Good find. I have sent Twisted Throttle an email asking if they carry the adjustable pegs for our bikes.
I installed these passenger floorboards for my wife this summer.

They were not listed to fit an FJ, however it was listed that they fit Yamaha Virago from the same(ish) vintage as the FJ, so I looked at some pictures of the Virago pegs, took a chance and ordered a set and they fit perfectly.
I guess my point is they may not know they have a match. anxious to see.... thanks for making the effort.
For 8 bucks someone could see if they will work. http://www.ebay.com/itm/BUELL-LEFTSIDE-RIDER-FOOTPEG-N0520-1AD-NEW-/190778014339?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c6b417a83&vxp=mtr (http://www.ebay.com/itm/BUELL-LEFTSIDE-RIDER-FOOTPEG-N0520-1AD-NEW-/190778014339?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c6b417a83&vxp=mtr)

Greetings, I am using the adjustable footpegs for the passenger. They allow me to rotate the position forward to allow better clearance for the passenger mounting the bike when using the installed Givi bags. They are excellent quality. For the front I am using Buell Ulysses footpegs. They provide a one inch drop; only require a minor modification to the footpeg mounting bracket and the one inch drop does not foul the side stand [two inch drop will]. I purchase the adjustable pegs from Wild Hare Accessories/

The angle and tilt are adjustable. Solid construction but they are quite heavy.

Be sure and let us know what twisted says. I think these are great. Put them down for the ride to ECFR. Adjust them up to ride the dragon. Adjust them back down for the trip home.

In the event Twisted Throttle can not assist, they are available from Wild Hare Assessories.
