Raised or original footrests

Hello everybody!
I bought an used SD '05 with raised footrests and I have the originals also.
I have two long legs... so I would ask you two questions to who used both types:
1) which are the differences, speaking of driving feeling?
2) it is possible that the originals sometimes touch the ground on street?

Thanks!

When you say raised foot rests, do you mean rearsets, peg adjuster plates, or just different/angled pegs?

I found that I scraped the originals a fair few times riding on the street so ended up getting some DHM pegs.

That'll be rearsets.

Have a go at the originals and see if you prefer the position. If you do and find yourself grinding the pegs, just get some replacement ones like I did with a different profile underneath

Don't tell me you are old e-nuf to remember feet pegs that did not pivot out of the way when you are really banked in a corner, like I am?

Now that was a bad feeling .

I bet you will not have any big moments with the stock pegs.

Unless you have huge feet and carry too much weight.

You got both sets, 2 hours and you are done.
