Swap boards for pegs.

Hi Everyone,

I am brand new to the forum.

My brother and I rented a couple of Americas in Chicago last month and spent 2 very happy weeks covering 3250 miles to the Grand Canyon and back east to Dallas.

It was a brilliant trip and I fell in love with the bike so much that I have just bought myself a 2014 model.

The only thing I am not totally sold on is the footboards that come as standard now. The bike I had in the States had pegs and even though we did a lot of miles I had no issue with them, or felt at any point that I would have preferred boards.

I have looked into buying some pegs and removing the boards but Triumph want a huge amount of money for the bits I would need (namely the pegs themselves, the hangers and the different pedals), something like £350!

I was wondering if there is anyone on the forum that has pegs but is interested in swapping for boards? Obviously since mine are brand new I would only consider swapping for some in "as new" condition. Presumably they would have to come off a recent year to ensure they fit?

Let me know if anyone is interested. I would also welcome some opinions on peoples preference, and why did they switch to boards as standard?

Cheers!!
