Is there any footpegs that can be swapped onto the XS from other bikes? I'm getting tired of looking at these big ugly stock rubber pegs. It looks possible, but just wanted to see if anyone has done this and which ones work.

Yeah, hate those pegs too. I put a set off a sport bike on mine, look great. Just had to drill out the mounting hole, file down the stop that positions it level, 30 minutes work. But can't use the spring that pushes them back down onto the stop, not needed anyway. John.

sorry guys, can't figure out how to post pics on this site. Too complicated for me I reckon, John

You have to host the picture either on this site or another and just post the link.

Yeah, can see it don't work either. Just go to my photobucket pics and have a look, under 78 tracker, 2nd row down should be a pic of footpeg mod.http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v171/kiwi2/

I found these at a local bike dealer on the sale table for $12. Very easy mod and fit.
