Grippier footpegs?

[jimf]

Since I'm a short guy I tend to climb on the bike by using the footpeg and swing my foot over while on the peg, especially if the bike is loaded.  Ordinarily this is no big deal as-is, but I've found that if the peg and/or boot is wet it's like ice.  On my last tour it was pouring and the peg was so slippery I slid off every single time and ended up doing the kick-up-then-hop approach, which is not ideal in lots of ways (and looks ridiculous too).
 
I've poked around some moto shopping sites looking at possible replacements but it's hard to tell what things actually fit well, which are sprung and which are not, and they're expensive enough that I don't want to be shooting in the dark.
 
I want something with maximum grip.  Jaws-of-death style is fine, although if one has a rubber surface and is still very grippy that would be fine too, I wouldn't mind having a little vibration isolation.
 
Puig sells one that's very rubberized and is probably great for comfort, but is it any better in the rain? SW-Motech sells something that looks very similar and claims to have removable rubber, and the SW-Motech version clearly pivots, so right now that's top of my "maybe" list ... but $160, and I haven't been able to find a fitment specific to the FJ.
 
So: Who has replaced their pegs?  With what?  How well did they fit?  Are they sprung or solid?  Any problem with slippage?  Vibration?
 
I'm interested in any information, even if the pegs don't seem to match my requirements.  Negative information is better than no information!
 
Thanks everyone!

get some Super Tenere ones, as some others here have done. They are great - they have the metal grippy bits but also a rubber section that is hollow. In normal riding you don't put enough weight on the rubber for it to squash. Stand on the pegs and the rubber compresses so you are on the serrated metal part.
 
I had a S10 for 4 years so have personal experience of using them.

I found them slippery and full of vibrations so i slotted e-bay FZ6 pegs.
Very happy and i also lived with them for the last 10 yrs until i sold my fazer

That sounds pretty good to me.  What year fits?  (Maybe it doesn't matter.) 
Also, BikeBandit doesn't show it being sold as a complete assembly (I looked at 2015).  Each side has peg, rubber, bolt for the rubber, spring pin and cotter pin.  Do I need all of that, or maybe just the peg, rubber, and bolt and reuse the spring and pins on the stock pegs?
 
Thanks!

My bike was an early 2010 model. There was an update in 2014 but I don't know if the peg design carried forward. No idea about the rest of it.
 
See if you can get a used set from someone on http://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?action=forum
 
Some have fitted lower peg kits, off road pegs or maybe crashed & written off. It's a busy forum as the bike has quite a niche following.

What a great idea, thanks!

You should try the MT09 Street Rally pegs, they're great. 53€

I got standard Yamaha rubber mount pegs used on a lot of their bikes but definitely the fz6 ones listed on eBay. I got it for myself and passenger for a few bucks. The pillion ones I won the auction st .99cent starting price. Very cheap worthwhile upgrade, a triple does vibe a bit at certain rpms but rubber dampens this slight vibe well. Just have a cutting disk and dremell or something to cut the end of the stock peg pin on one side.

These sw motech on/off rd convertible pegs would be good if the make them for our bikes.

Damn.  I did a whole write-up and then pushed the wrong key and the stupid browser lost it.
 
I fit the Super Tenere pegs over the last few of weekends.  For my repeat write up, I'll keep it more to the point.
 
I originally planned to cut down the STen pegs to fit, and then use the FJ springs.  Unfortunately the spring barrel on the STen pegs is too big for the FJ springs to fit.
 
I then cut off the STen barrel entirely:
 

 
and tried using a spacer that fit the FJ springs.  That didn't work either because there was only 5mm of space for the spring, but the FJ spring is ~6mm wide.
 
Along the way I ran across these torsion springs on Amazon:

That'll fit the width, but they won't fit around the spacer.  Then I had the brilliant idea that the spring is close enough to the width of the spacer that it should work fine as a spacer.  After all, the pegs don't really need a whole lot of precision in that hinge.
 
I bent the spring legs such that one went over the top of the peg and the other over the top of the hinge bracket:
 
 

 
 

 

 

 

 
I spent gobs of time working on different ways to make this work out, but in the end this one is really simple and effective.  All you need is a dremel with some cutting wheels, a pack of those springs, a couple of pair of needle-nose pliers to bend the spring legs into shape, and a replacement clevis/hinge pin for the left side because it's riveted on for some bizarre reason.  The right side pin is a normal clevis pin, so you might consider buying a second right side pin.  (Then again it might not quite fit, the hinge bracket is cast on that side.)
 
You'll be pleased with the result.  The STen pegs are much, much better.

Huh.  Those are the spitting image of the Super Tenere pegs that I actually used, but I'm guessing they actually fit. 
I never saw those when I was hunting for things, it might be that they're not available in the US.
