Hey guys,
I know I do not have as much to contribute as some of you all. with your crazy phat rears, and headlight modes etc. but I thought I'd contribute where I could.
So just so you guys know, the whole point of my warrior is to make it look and feel like it think it should have come from the factory. So its all about small changes here and there.
One of these changes is the Yamaha Raider stock pegs. I know I am not the first one to do this, and I did not think it would make a difference in feel, i initially did it for looks.
I always felt the the warrior was a sexy beast, and some of the peices on it where just Yamaha cutting corners. The PEGS where for sure one of them.
They looked like they came off an 80's virago or something. Not fitting of our mighty beast. I went out in search of options. I'm not a floorboard guy, but was hoping I could get something slightly more comfortable, with some better looks.
.... That is Exactly what you get with the raider pegs - Comfort and looks.
First looks: obvious improvement, with the sleek lines, and Yamaha logo built right in to the rubber, its like they were made for our bikes. they are enough to get noticed but not enough to take away from the rest of the bike.
Comfort: This is where I was most surprised. You wouldn't think there would be much difference but here is what i feel makes the difference: 1) angle. the peg itself is angled towards the rider, which means it is very easy to get your foot comfortable in many different positions. 2) surface area... because of the angle of the peg and the way the rubber is built, even though the peg is not large, there is substantially more surface area that is flat for your foot. this takes a lot of the stress from the stock peg off. So all in all, a cheap change which make ride-ability and looks better. Let me know if this was at all helpful or if you have any feedback
