I thought all the bikes came with the pegs beveled off on a 45 degree angle!

Aaron, your running 39 up front or 36psi? I used to run 36F/42R on the 016's.

I'll have to try that! Do you feel you get any difference in turn-in, and what about grip?

Quick turn in... great grip... good longevity because of reduced flex....

My chicken strips last about 10 minutes from getting new tyres fitted. Takes me about 9 minutes and 30 seconds to get to the twisties from the tyre shop:sinister:.

Mine are NOT chicken strips. They are commuter strips. 
I actually don't have a picture but I doubt I need to post a picture for you to believe me that I have some big ones on my bike.
As for the difference between chicken strips and commuter strips, here's the chicken strips on my old Suzuki TLR. Can't remember the type of tyre but they weren't super sticky track tires, just my everyday tires. Possibly BT010's I believe. It's been a while and I stopped taking pics of my tires after a few track days.

7000 miles on pilot road 2. I have rarely felt comfortable on my bike getting it leaned over with those tires. Getting some pilot power 3's put on right now.
