I just recently started wearing knee braces, and I couldn't belive how much more comfortable I felt on the bike. But for some reason my new found confidence was hamperd, because I felt unsure of my footing on the footpegs. So I decided it was time for some new running boards.
I looked at the reviews on the Fastway footpegs, and the shop I use had a pair on a WR, and those things are HUGE. I belive they are 58mm wide and one of the longest ones available. I was just about to order them when I fliped thru the book a few more turns and came to the Moose, I can tell you these are not as long as the Fastway, and not as wide, (but just by a hair). The Moose do offer a convex platform (taller in the middle to help transition weight back and forth) and no cross braces (to keep mud from packing), and for taller riders they have 1/2" rear offset. When I took them for the "official" test ride, I was very pleased. My knees felt secure, and I never worried about my feet, well except that maybe the pegs had to much grip! They do have some bite :) So for the $ I think the Moose pegs are worth looking into if your looking at putting some new platforms on.
