    Looks like they might also serve as case-savers/frame sliders.
    1983 GS 1100 Guided Laser
    1983 GS 1100 G
    2000 Suzuki Intruder 1500, "Piggy Sue"
    2000 GSF 1200 Bandit (totaled in deer strike)
    1986 Suzuki Cavalcade GV 1400 LX (SOLD)

    I find working on my motorcycle mildly therapeutic when I'm not cursing.

        I quite like the idea so was perusing the actual building characteristics, when an alarm bell ran into my mind...
        You are certainly aware of the why, brake and clutch levers are mandatorily built with collapsible ball-ends.

        It would be extremely dangerous, if one of those pegs, should become the load​ (as in a 1? class lever) between the bike mass and say your fibula or your tibia so, maddaman, please, devise a means of making them foldable, maybe held open by a spring in contrast, so they do not bounce all over.

          I don't quite think I understand. How are they different than traditional case savers?

            Crash-bars in my humble opinion, do spread the load onto a wider area, and are less prone to lacerate and dig into matter, whereas pegs, are going to concentrate the load in one smaller point.
            Mine, was a simple advice, packaged in the guise of a summon.
            Your call to give heed or not.

            Hope I didn't sound too stark...
