Wider footpegs would seem to only accommodate riders with wide feet. I
doubt they'd contribute much to overall comfort, but then I don't equate
cruisers with comfort. My Wing has after-market highway pegs that seem
useless to me. I've never used them, and I just rode 4,128 miles. My feet
feel just fine while poised over the brake pedal and shifter where they
belong. But then I don't flobber along at 45 mph, either....
