May not be quote as solid either if I remember right. They sound good on paper, but it seems the execution is a little lacking. I think they were hard to install too.
Yep. My comments from an earlier thread:

You can buy Lockhart Phillips 360 adjustable pegs, but I don't recommend them. Good idea, poor execution -- at least on the 6R. Dealing with the peg bolts is a huge pain in the ass. That part isn't LP's fault, Kawasaki obviously doesn't mean for these to ever come off. But I couldn't get the new pegs tight enough, no matter how much force I put on them, and now the assembly can be rotated back and forth through about 20% of its range. And unless you come up with some kind of spacer for the right side, there's unacceptable side-to-side play in the brake lever.
BUT... they might be better suited to your purposes. I bought them for a more aggressive riding position, and I don't like having to think about whether or not they're going to cause me trouble when I'm pushing hard. I think I'd be comfortable with them for casual touring, though.

Addendum: I leave mine adjusted to 12:00-1:00, because I am concerned about them touching down if I leave them lower. But I've now used them at the track, and even with knees down, they never scraped.
