Hey JoeyM, I live down in Toms River, Anyplace to ride street near you without getting busted? I have the freestyle pegs on the rear of my fiddy. They work great, it just feels weird when you use them ,bike is hard to lock between your legs. I cant use my front one because I changed my forks. I use my Pitbull stand and raised the rear of my bike , it was ok, Lokks like your stand works better. Send me some pics of your R1. I have some pics of mine at UnFknRealR1@aol.com

pegs suck, i had em on for like a week and forced myself to get used to them. just couldnt do it. they dig into the ground when u turn sharp, lifting the back tire off the ground and causing u to wreck. they also make nice bruises all over yer legs when u spill in the middle of the street. just my $.02

On your rear pegs did you use the stock spacers. or just threw the pegs on without them. I bought a set of bmx pegs without the threads. When I installed them couldnt fit the spacers along. Did you get a longer bolt? My chains just keeps on coming off...

if u mean the chain adjusters (spacers), yeah i used them. i just used a longer bolt. which is difficult tofind, but i ordered it.
my pegs were very thick and threaded, i had to drill out the threads first.
if the pegs are thick (mine are about 1/2 a piece), you can order a 12 x 240 mm bolt (order the appropriate lock not too) and u can keep the stock chain adjusters easily.
oh yeah as for places to ride up around here...i'm still looking for a good place. don't know one yet.

i guess i'm dr. wheelie, not the fence post guy...
i ordered my bolt from a local factory supply store. i dunno about ace or home depot, but i kinda doubt it. a 12mm bolt that long is hard to find. i think mine was made in italy, and is not the 'fine thread' like the stock one, so i definitely needed a new nut too.
get some washers too. as for the length, the brand of bolt i bought came in 200, 220, 240, 260 etc...the 240 is a little long, but i think the 220 would be short. measure your particular pegs and order accordingly.
