Those who recommended the kuryakyn pegs knew what they were talkin' bout ! just installed a set and i gotta say they are maybe the best thing i've done yet as mods go. Feel just like floorboards with the blades out. but with them in they're also much better than the stock pegs because they are wide and flat and a bit longer. The blades can be used to move your feet back if they get tierd of the normal position on long rides. they also look great with nice chrome and at $100 for the pegs and adapters they're hard to beat. i was actually suprised at the comfort and versatility. I'd highly recommend anyone who's thinking of floorboards to consider these. I'd rather have them even if they were the same price as floorboards ! don't trust the pics to tell you anything about how well they work. I had no idea they would be this nice.
oh, and as to the problem some have had with them spinning...not with mine. I think they just didn't tighten them enough. Even if it does happen, roughing up the mating surface between the pegs and adapter will work as attested to by those who've done it. But at least for now i don't have that problem.

Dale, where did you buy the Kuryakins? Do you have the P/N's? How do they install on the Speedmasters?

bikerhaven.net they had the 2nd lowest price i found at something like $76. But thier shipping made them the lowest at $5 flat rate. However, when you check out there is a comment field in which you have to ask them to add the cost of the adapters to the order because they don't carry them for the triumph, but they will order them for you. So just say please order the adapters for a triunph and add $20 to the order for the triumph adapters part #8840. They told me to do that on the phone and it worked out fine. By the way, they have a huge ebay store but oddly the pegs are more expensive there !

pegs are 4446 and as i said the triumph adapters are 8840.

very easy. took me all of 10 minutes. First assemble the pegs by putting the screw thru the peg and into the adapter and tighten just a bit because you'll need to adjust it's angle before attaching it to the bike. Then pop off the circlip that holds the pin in that holds the stock peg on noting how the spring is situated. remove it and put the new peg in temporarily just holding it there so you can see how the peg is situated and if you need to turn it to the proper angle do so now. Then remove it and tighten the screw that hold the adapter to the peg very tightly. Then just stick it in with the spring situated right and pop the pin thru and add the clip. Sounds a lot more complicated than it is. It's dead simple and quick.

As is often the case, Dale, you're right again. Mine had been spinning, so I had someone with the proper type of wrench tighten them down and now they're tight as the proverbial drum. Glad you're liking yours. I love the idea that you can use them when you want them, and not have them in the way when you don't. Great mod for the money.
