I got these foot pegs for my Norden 901 because I stand a lot when I am off road and I was just not as comfortable as I could be on the stock foot pegs. I just got back from about a 3,000 mile trip with them, running from WA to AZ and doing stages 3,4 5, and 6 of the AZ BDR and running back to WA. I loved them! My feet were very stable on the road, and my control off road was increased as well as my standing comfort. If you have run the AZ BDR, you know there are lots of rocks, and volcanic cinders, that require focus, and the foot pegs allowed me to focus on the route rather than my aching feet. The 1/2 inch dropped also helped with my standing position. I did not drop the bike on the BDR route, and I think I can contribute the extra control to these pegs. I would recommend them and I would purchase them again.
