Please give an honest opinion on my blue pegs

[pharmer81]

I just bought this bike a couple of weeks ago and I love it. The previous owner had installed some Pro-Tek blue rear pegs. I was a little sketchy on how well I liked the color of them, and thought I may end up swapping them for silver or chrome. On Saturday, I received some Driven D3 grips that I had won on ebay. The pictures online made them look very deep blue, but alas, they look identical to these pegs. I haven't installed the grips yet. At first I was bummed they don't match the bike, but then I was somewhat pleased they at least match the pegs.

I want to get new pegs for the front to get a little more room. I was going to order the Buell pegs from Dennis, but having some Buell pegs of my own on a shelf, I ground them down to try them out, and my size 14 boot is hitting the midpipe, because they are too low. I'm now considering ordering some Pro-Tek pegs to put on the front as a happy medium as far as fitment goes.

Before I order, I'm trying to decide if I should order blue rider pegs to match everything else, order chrome, and try to trade the rear pegs and grips for silver or chrome ones, or order blue and have everything powder coated to match the bike.

Bottom line is, does the blue color on these pegs look stupid on this bike, or does it look good and I should ignore the fact that the blues don't match? My feelings won't be hurt either way. I'm wanting to get some honest opinions.

honestly.. NO.. they just dont look right.. if you're able to get it coated the same color blue of your bike then it would look much better.

 

[VaBusa]

I'm not a fan; just need to be a better match...

 

[outlawbusa]

They do stand out a bit too much just on the rear...maybe if you had more of a theme going with front pegs, levers, etc...but then you may as well just get a more in tune color.

 

[BlondeOnaBusa]

I don't think they look good with your bike.

 

[TreyYoung]

I am into matching colors, and they do not match your blue. But I also believe it is what you like, and not the rest of us. The rest of the bike is awesome by the way.

You asked.. uke:

Would have been the first thing I removed after pulling it into the garage.

 

[Warchild]

I feel gayer for just having looked at them.

Helping.....

I checked with a local powder coater and he's going to match them to the bike. You guys have unanimously said the same thing I was thinking. Thanks. As long as we're on the topic, what color would look best?

 

[flrider]

Too far off...

 

[Easy E]

I would not put any color on the pegs so as not to bring attention to them.. Pegs in general are just plain ugly.

 

[SKECHE]

what he said^^^^

 

[Warchild]

Or, just go with black..... everything goes with black. :agree:

Yep unless yer going to match the peg brackets as well I'd leave them silver.

 

[Gangsta3]

nice busa but change the pegs out.

Silver or Black.............that blue is Yikes!

It'd be a bit faster if you did them in orange!

 

[EarlyBird]

I would replace them....

sand / media blast them (you can also use paint stripper to remove the coating)...they are silver (Aluminium) under the blue...then clear them or polish them...cheap and easy
