  7. The standard pegs are more slippery than a Vaseline covered eel in a bucket of oil so ditch them if not changed already.
    Heat up from the exhaust through riders seat is fine in cold weather but painful in the summer.
    Others will be along soon with more tips & advice:upyeah:

  8. Hi there,
    Yes I have read a few posts about the pegs, what’s the best ones to get to replace them?
    Haha I have only been on it twice since I brought it and yes noticed the heat coming up from the exhaust, I can imagine it would rather uncomfortable in summer.
    Thanks for the advice. Tim.

  11. I’m running 3 sheets of automotive gold leaf sheet under my thicker DP seat and it’s still a bit toasty if ambient air temp is north of 25C.

  15. Re peg choice:
    If not going for full rearsets then about £50 will get you some good hi grip ones that fold up. Threadlock them too:upyeah: I didn’t, doh.
