And also my Lightning pegs I put on last weekend. They are an inch lower than the Firebolt pegs.

I personally like the black levers better.

An inch lower on the pegs? Does it make a big difference? I had factory adjustable pegs on my gsxr and it didn't really mater but the difference was less than an inch up/down or forward/back.

I was fond of the gold...but the black is a solid look. I like it. The pegs, I can tell a difference...but I still cramp up after about 20 or 30 minutes.

Zuk was about 15 minutes. The Buell is more comfortable...but my back and knees suck.

I really love this bike, I dont want to get rid of it. But it's tough to ride. My options are get a Lightning with the higher bars and more upright position or get the XR1200.

Nice! Question; do the new levers have a steel pivot bushing ? Please don't be offended but if they don't, you might want to consider drilling and installing one. Just my stupid $.02.
