Good call, zach: just ordered a black one of these for AUD$8.82 delivered to Oz!

I have the same foot pad in black. Keep an eye on those Allen head bolts as they do get loose. I had to replace one already. Home Depot had them.

Worth every penny, but to install you have to drill out the 'swivel pin' from one side of the OE pegs.

I finally got around to installing my new foot rests/pegs. I've had them for several months.

They are Genuine Yamaha parts that I ordered from Yamabits.uk. Just another OEM part that isn't available to the US for some damn reason (just like the OEM helmet lock I ordered from Japan).

First impressions are good, but they do raise your foot/leg position ever so slightly (not a problem for me). I adjusted the brake and shift pedals up just a touch to compensate.

They look good.  
Are they the same as the ones on the Super Tenere?
The look the same, but they are called "Street Rally" so they are designed for the FZ,FJ,XSR platform.
 
@suncoaster if you're interested..

The FZ-6 foot rest are a cheaper solution, but these aren't expensive either.

I installed these wider footpegs some time ago and they did not work for me - distance between edge of footpeg (boot pivoting point) and gearlever too short. I am now using FZ07 type footpegs and they are fine for me.

I haven't had a proper rider with these installed. So I will have to see if they work out for me.

@piotrek I like the "run" intensity of the right, but the flash pattern of the left.
 
However, both look good... and effective.

I installed my sheepskin buttpad from Alaska Leather. Charcoal grey, sheared. I am very happy to have this on my seat now and looking forward to putting a few hundred miles on it this weekend to see how much of an improvement this will be.
