Rear peg hangers.....to be or not to be?

I'll be fitting a +2" Bill Wirges swingarm to my mkII and given that it has its own set of rear pegs it makes the standard hangers redundant. I notice a lot of people remove this rear framework with the intent of lightening the frame, but what is the pillion experience with swingarm mounted pegs? As it's not easily reversible I'm finding myself a bit indecisive!
Decision made!

Will keep them so I don't have to faff about mounting the exhausts.

i really would not use the swingarm mounted pillion pegs...
I had a similar setup in the 70's and girlfriend did not like them at all.

Thanks, that's what I was after. Some idea of what a pillion thought of them.

When I was 15 and used to go on the back of my mates DT175 with swing arm mounted pegs it was great fun to pull the back of the bike up when he braked, he thought he was going over the handlebars.
It's a no from me...
