I love mine so far. The concept is interesting and makes sense.

There on my to do list, next item to get, when I get down to AZ will order from RevZilla Im thinking, my Thor boots are size 14 so a little movement will be a good thing especially on the shifter side.

Can't recall the specific year, but there are some fairly recent YZ pegs that work well. The right side requires a little grinding to fold without hitting the rear brake, but they are plenty wide, for anyone who never warmed up to the pivoting peg or frilly alternatives.
I have them on mine and can't say enough good about the upgrade. Make sure NOT to use the titanium YZ pegs. They frequently break. The stainless ones are good and tough. You will have to use the YZ pivot pin and spring to make them fit and work.

If you have big feet avoid the yz pegs, the extra width is on the front of the peg not the rear.

I had drc wide pegs on my bike for awhile and they sucked for me, I kept hitting the shifter while standing and had a hard time shifting because my size 12 foot was further ahead than stock. I took the lower, slightly rearset wider than stock pegs off my gasgas (don't know what brand or if they were stock gasgas but they fit) I had at the time and put them on the wrr, they were better as the extra width was on the back but they were too low and I destroyed them on rocks. I am now running the stock pegs again and liking them.

I would like a wider peg but the only pegs that suit me are the custom ones in the classified section of this site, everything else is either too far forward or too low.

Hi Biglake.
Do you recall which YZ pegs you used?
If you still have them perhaps we need to compare photos/notes...

Reason(s) I ask is mine went from stock 1-1/2 width up to 2-1/8 width,... 5/16" further to the front and rear, unlike the style you tried that only got wider to the front. They are exactly the same length from the pivot pin, and I wear size 14W (US). My sisters joke I have 'Fred Flintstone' feet. No problems with the shifter, but I do tend to move my feet around a lot, and my version of the YZ peg is nice for this. Good grip but not needle-like traction. Maybe our foot-placement/articulation styles vary in a way that highlights your issues which are VERY good points to consider.

Here's a GREAT article on them; (I used the 5XC variant- stainless)

Good write up Beam, the only reason Im looking at the pivot pegz is that my shifter is as high as it goes and I still have trouble getting my size 14`s under it at times, I looked at the wr250f pegs and like them for size. But still have trouble with big feet.

I had drc pegs, they look like the yz 5xc pegs but I don't know if the offset is identical as they were put on my gasgas then sold.
The extra width on the front of the peg isn't a big deal to some but drove me nuts as my foot was hitting the shifter all the time while standing when riding trails, if I moved my foot back it wasn't a problem but then I couldn't shift at all, with stock pegs or rearset pegs I can keep my feet where they want to go naturally and shift fine while standing.

I like the "foot pegs for WRR'" the in vendors section better than the yz pegs, if I was buying pegs I'd get them.

Pivot pegs may solve this issue for me too, I've never tried a set of those.

I bought Pivot Pegz from Revzilla for about $150. They were easy to install.  I wear Alpine Star Scout boots that are big with reduced feel. The pegz rotate easily. When standing I can rock them aft and stretch my achilles tendons. I recommend them but their function is a subtle improvement.

I bought some moto parts including Pivot Pegz last month. So far, I really like them. It is easier now to move around on the bike. Yes, they are pricey but well built.

I have trouble staying leaned forward when I'm standing. I ride w one hand so I have to use my legs a lot for body positioning. I can't grab the left bar to help hold me forward. Will the Pivot Pegs help keep me planted and leaned forward? I also have a safari tank, I think it's hard to get my knees around it.
