I installed the Slingshot racing ones on my M796 a few weeks ago and they are working well so far.
They look very similar.
Check out my thread on footpeg lowering.

I wonder how strong the adjustment/locating pins are if you stood up on the pegs? For that price I would try them. Down the track I would also consider modifying the seat to open up the hip/knee position and give a little comfort to your arse for longer rides.

Other manufacturers of similar systems make a point of not using that size for the rider...

'Your' manufacturer also sells a 25mm version.

I'd put the bike on a rear stand, or have a friend hold it, then jump on it/kick it hard to see what happens in an extreme situation. If it holds up - fine. If it doesn't - better to discover that standing still than on the road - get a refund if it breaks...

Be very careful with those pegs made in China/Hong Kong
I purchased those same pegs once for Mrs Dogs 696
The only thing holding the peg from rotating around the adjustment range is a very small and
narrow gauge pin of suspect quality .
My wives failed on a ride one day .........................

My ears are still ringing from the scalding I got for putting cheap shit on her bike that broke.
Lucky her foot didn't bounce off the road or I would most likely be typing this in a very high voice .

Between lowering the pegs by about 1 and 1/2 inch , and getting the DP Touring seat which adds almost an inch in ride height, it made a huge difference in comfort for my 6'2" body with bad knees.

I would want to know what the fixing point for the rotation is.   Rizoma makes a similar product for the monster 1200 that has big gnarly splines. it doesn't give 360 adjust ability that the show product lists but you wont ever worry about slippage.
