    So the wifes biggest complaint about the VFR is her feet start to fall asleep after a short (30 mile) ride. Is there a thicker peg I could get or some type of extender so she wouldn't have to bend her knees so much. (Gotta keep momma happy after all!) Thanks for any help.

    Not really. It seems to me I saw an actual product that extended the pillion pegs a bit lower, but maybe it was for another bike.

    I used some square tubing on my last vfr, about 6 inchs long, just ground and drilled the ends to extend the stock pegs..works fine, BUT i think it puts a lot of leverage on the stock bracket, so I didnt ever allow the wife to use them to climb up on the bike, used mine..worked fine that way!
