Well this morning I installed the gloss black Kuryakyn Trident pegs. Here are some pictures:

The mod went very easy. It took about 30 minutes to do both sides. For those that are planning to change the pegs a few things that I would like to pass along:
1. Buy these pegs without the built on adapter. Then you also buy the adapter (8810 for the front, and 8811 for the rear). The adapter needed for these pegs are different than the adapter needed for the Kuryakyn swing pegs. All the parts were about $80 through Dennis Kirk.
2. The key to replacing these easily is the spring. When you take out the cotter pin and pin attaching the stock pegs, a spacer and a spring will pop off. Like me, you will probably take this off before really taking a close look. The spring actually has a longer leg and a shorter leg:

On the shift side, the long leg of the spring goes to the bottom of the bracket. There is a slot in the bottom back of the bracket on the right side (if you are looking towards the front wheel) where the tip of the spring gets secured. The short leg of the spring goes to the front of the bracket on the top. On the brake side, the spring is positioned opposite. The long leg of the spring goes to the top of the bracket in the back on the left, and the short side goes to the front, right corner on the bottom. Luckily I have another Stryker in the garage so I was able to figure this out after I took off the peg.
3. To replace the main pin, get the pin started on the top and try to use your hand to push in on the spring. With a hammer you can gently tap the pin all the way through. The pin is slightly tapered at the bottom, so it will guide itself into place.
I did look into replacing the small shifter and brake pegs as well. However on the Stryker these small pegs are integral with the arms. So to replace these pegs, you have to cut them off, drill a hole through the arm and then get the small replacement pegs. Overall not too difficult, but since the look of the small pegs are not that much different than the stock, I chose not to do this mod at this time. I also did not do the rear pegs since I am still considering going to a solo seat and taking off the rear pegs all together.
Here are some pics of the gloss black Kuryakyn ISO grips:

I can't offer any tips for installing these. We were at the dealer the other day (which was also my birthday) getting the 600 mile service. My wife asked me what I would like for my birthday and I picked the grips off the wall and said..how about these? I then handed them to the tech and asked if they had time to put these on as well. Half hour later we were riding out, all serviced and with new grips.
I hope this helps someone decide on a new mod!
