Got my 450R pegs Wire Cut!!

Well, this past summer I nearly broke my ankle and couldn't walk for 2 weeks

I was jumping a kicker for the 1st time and gave it too much "blip on the lip". I landed pretty much vertical causing my foot to slip off the peg and get jammed downward towards the rear tire. That sucked pretty bad, so I decided to do something about my stock dull 450R pegs.. Soooo.... I had them EDM wire cut by my dad's cousin! It's sort of like CNC machining, only a thin brass wire and an electrical arc do the actual cutting.

These things are RAZOR sharp, and incredibly precise in the cut! He left the outer edges uncut, so I get a little raised kick-up on the end. You can see how dull the outer edges are in comparison. I'm pretty happy with this, because now I have just about the same width and sharpness of an IMS peg without the hefty price tag...only cost me 30 dollars for the pegs from a member on here. I'll take this over paying 200 for a set of pegs any day. Now on to a set of heelguards and i'll be set! Tell me what you guys think..
