Default HD diamond black footpegs (Large) on 883 Iron?

Anyone have them on their bike? I just got a set and they look pretty fat. I am a bit worried about comfort/aesthetics with these pegs, and did not want to bust open the packaging until I know these are going to be ok.

Anyone have experience with these?




Thanks in advance!

I don't have them and I'm still not convinced enough to switch away from stock pegs. They're big enough and covered in rubber so they absorb enough shock. You sure you didn't get the passenger pegs? My passenger pegs are way bigger than my rider pegs. I'm craving a pair of Sanderson Biltwell Pegs

I don't think they are passenger pegs. I actually found a video on Youtube showing these on an 883 iron so I think I am ok. I am going to try to pop them on after work.

I had the regular size black diamond pegs on my Iron for about two years. I just swapped them out for some DK Custom pegs. My issue was that when I combined these pegs with my forward controls I always felt like my feet were moving off the pegs and I never felt secure. As you know Iron's ride a little rough and I didn't realize until swapping pegs that when your feet are sliding around on the peg, it feels even worse. If you're putting these on with mids they might be ok but I will never put mine back on now that I feel the difference between the black diamond and one that holds your foot onto the peg.

I use them on my New Iron Sportster. My right foot seems to slide off a little. I use mid control's.

This is definitely the truth. I rarely use my highway pegs, because I bought cosmetic matching pegs(black diamonds), instead of useful ones. I am looking for something new.
