You guys should consider a set of Tim Bernard's highway pegs. On longer rides they provide a quite comfortable diversion for your legs and ass. They also provide some fallover protection and, if you get the generation III model, some rock roosting protection for the front of the motor. Thanks. Bob Kaub

Maybe he was talking about the plate on his KTM. LOL Mine would have been cheese had I taken it with me on my first off-road adventure. Then again, as the engine would have been caved in too, I probably would not have been too concerned about the skid plate. Cheers, Arne
