    So sorry to hear that!

    As a fellow Aeropeg user, it seems that every time I stopped someplace, someone with a GL1800 of some variety had a story to tell about their Aeropeg drama.
    "Most" of the time, it was "only" the valve cover, but a few times, some people stated that they really screwed things up.
    Hopefully yours is the former.

    Best of luck and please keep us posted.

    I requested that Revco make just the blacked out (and/or chrome) cover plates as an additional product line for those that want to black out their bikes.
    No pegs, just a blacked out cosmetic plate.
    They had no interest, nor selling a set of plates before they were milled to accept the pegs.

    Sorry to hear about your mis-hap. Glad you didn't get hurt. Too bad about the bike,
    because it's a beautiful weekend for riding, here in Wi. We don't get many like this! Maybe have it towed right to the dealer.

    Yep, I grabbed my bike for balance while putting on rubber boots to go feed the horses. Quite embarrassed to knock it over & it landing on the aero peg. It's like $380.00 for the valve cover & $120.00 for the dealer to put it on. I'm now careful to put my peg in every time I stop. Kept the same pegs on it. It is one of those sick feelings to knock it over & see oil leaking.

    Aeropeg user also. 60k miles on the Rune with Aeropegs and 5k on the F6B with the Aeropegs. No problems or issues. I am sorry to hear about your incident. Hopefully you will get the bike repaired soon and get some good riding in.
    Let us know how it turns out. I will be more careful with mine now.

    Got the 6 trailered home this morning, will call insurance tomorrow to see who adjuster is and when they will get out and look at it, hope it is just the valve cover, did not totally fall, had hold on it when it went over.

    I got absolutely soaked yesterday during the ride home from Rolling Thunder... luckily my leather vest has become half dry.... me and the old lady are getting ready to go the the Crownsville Veterans Cemetery for a ceremony. Then on the the ALR Post 7 for a nice lunch.



    My bike had it's first real "hose batch" early this morning... can't believe the amount of road grime that was all over it. The silver matte finish sure is easy to clean though... first bike I ever had that I don' have to fret over; if it rains.
