A thing to consider with the Fastways , especially with the older bikes, is that they are wider and therefore the foward edge is closer to the shifter. On my '03 it bothered me to the point of mounting them lowboy to regain clearance, even though the height was OK. You can also fine tune height with different length M5 setscrews. The Fastways are very strong and if they take a solid hit from a rock the mount is likely coming off the frame before the peg breaks. Now I just run stock pegs on my '07. I know they will bend before wrecking the mount, plus I'm not that hard on pegs. I ride rocks all the time and my style is to stay high, out of the "Vs", to keep my feet and bike healthy.
