provide a nice shower of sparks when they touch down
OK just like I thought, I'm not so sheltered ater all
Touching down hard metal parts while in a turn distracts me from the job at hand. Startles me, breaks my concentrtion. Anyone make these feelers out hard rubber? Then when they touch down it's more like a marshmallow. On my old the FXDX (the H-D that handles) I reppaced the stock foot pegs that had metal feelers with rumbber pegs from a Sportster. Leaning over into turns touching down rubbber was much more enjoyable for me.
