    Welcome Mike!

    You wil find MANY differing opinions in these hallowed pages on a few of your topics.
    Using the search engine, you can find a lot of good data.

    I can speak personally for the Aeropegs - love them.
    The rest I'll leave to those who have (or had) them.
    Cheers,
    Steve

    Rivco flip out pegs are good looking. Just make sure to flip them closed, when you park the bike. If it goes over, $$$$ Several on the Forum have had this happen. Damages the valve cover.

    Before you purchase a Heal/Toe Shifter, I would humbly suggest you read and heed the attached Post/Thread of a former member. Undue stress induced by some extra leverage on the trans resulted in some very complex repairs!

    Help... MY Tranny is SCREWED

    For whatever reason I can't "paste the thread".................do a search "My tranny is Screwed"

    Clock Works shield here in my extra parts pile. Not much good at blocking wind in my case. Replaced it with a Mastad.

    I suggest you put 2-3 thousand miles on it before you do anything. There's a ton of aftermarket stuff out there. Do lots of reading, ask questions & figure out what works for you.

    As mentioned Mike, you'll get a lot of differing opinions on aftermarket items. For instance, I love my Klock Werks 14" dark smoke flare windshield and have no issue with it not blocking the wind efficiently. Almost certainly it's an issue of rider height (and seat height too) that creates the difference of opinion between me and 2Wheels. Lots of great options to choose from and no one 'right' answer.

    Where in Alberta are you? If in the Calgary area happy to show you the setup on my bike. Good luck and enjoy the forum. Lots of great people and advice here.

    Aeropegs...very happy with mine. Look great and work good too.

    I really like the look of the Klockwerks windshield but decided to go Madstad.

    The smartmount backrest...i absolutely hate it. It made my seat so uncomfortable...and i really didnt mind the stock seat too bad until i put that on. I could never get it adjusted quite right and there was a lump in the middle of the rise of the seat.
    Ended up with an ultimate king with backrest and it fits me well

    As said above, I would ride it for a while and then see what you feel you need...Personally, I am not in favor of any of your choices, but it is your bike and your money....Ride safe

    I have the flip out switch blade type Rivco. I like them a lot. However, I can extend and close the right one easily with my foot at speed. I have a real job extending the left one. For some reason the top of my foot won't catch on it. Obviously closes with no problem.
