January 28, 201115 yr Couldn't resist ; just filed patent aplication for new idea regarding footrests (i.ve been making wide footpegs for 20 years) not updated website yet as I have to go to workshop and make a load orders awaiting. Of course I have to point out that Raptors are great but expensive and I have seen first hand broken frame where footrest has failed to absorb an impact. At least there are loads of options for you to choose from. good luck
January 28, 201115 yr I have tried Raptors and whilst they are good, IMO they are NOT the best. I have ridden bikes with both new and used raptors on, and in 100% of the cases they are an improvement over what they have replaced. £140? worth of improvement ? NO. I then rode a bike fitted with the new billet machined Talon / Sammy miller footpegs in muddy crappy conditions - and I have to say that the feel is better, the grip is better and (IMO) the look is better than a raptor - £75 makes them nearly half the price too. There is also a choice of colour too.(sexy red on my beta) The stainless grub screws really grip into your boot sole and the mud is easily cleared out through the large gaps beneath. I accept that hand made titanium products are always going to be expensive and may even be bought as a 'badge' for certain riders bikes. Go for the Talon / Sammy Miller ones and you will not be dissapointed - I am a very demanding person when it comes to function, quality, design and price - these footpegs tick all the correct boxes for me.

January 28, 201115 yr I won a pair of oversize pegs in the raffle at last years WTC TC bash. I can't remember the make but they only lasted a day on the bike before I swapped them back for the standard ones! Just didn't feel right at all? GJ
January 28, 201115 yr Not sure of the international availability but I love my halfback RYPegs. Aluminum skeleton with a replaceable steel cage.
January 28, 201115 yr OK not much help but does anybody make wide pegs that pivot? What i mean is the surface stays horizontal no matter if the bike is going down hill or uphill. Saw some at the EXPO trade exibition earlier this week but they were for enduro and far too bulky for Trials use.

The pegs you're thinking of are called pivotpegz http://www.pivotpegz.net/ These are what I use, have tried with both the pins & brass domes, brass is my preference http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-Duralumin-Trials-Wide-Footpegs-Footrests-Y-Type-/320639691646?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item4aa79d6b7e

The ones you use are very similar to the Talon / Sammy Miller ones. Tried them very nice.

Tried them very nice. not ridden with pivot pegs myself but my dad fitted a set on his kxf450 and said they are difficult to get used to but once your familiar with them ,they are wonderful!
