    Rivco Aero Flip-out highway Pegs have been discontinued

    Heads up.

    Just got a call from the folks at Wingstuff. They have some of the chrome version still in stock, but claim they can no longer order/ship the black version.

    I called Rick's and he was able to fulfill my order with current stock, but I dont imagine they will last long.

    Interesting .....

    I've been on the fence on getting a set. Maybe just the black ones are discontinued?

    Here is a link for some nicely priced chrome and silver pegs ($355 & $260):

    It is a patented design. Rivco has been the latest licensed producer.

    It appears that the production agreement between Rivco and the Patent holder/designer is about to expire.

    Hopefully they will re-new their agreement, but don't hold your breath.

    The Patent holder has re-nigged on 2 other manufacturers in the past 10 years and is a very difficult person to work with.

    While there are still a few sets available .... BUY YOUR set NOW !!!!! that's my recommendation

    .... just my 2 cents worth.



    Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.

    That is interesting. When I spoke with Rivco a couple of months ago about getting the de-badged blanks, they indicated it was THEIR patented design.

    They were originally designed for the Rune by one of the members on one of the boards. Then he made a mod so they would work on the Wing. After that… ???? AC would know better then I do.

    We have not heard anything about those being discontinued.

    Also the link that shows those advertised at a lower then MSRP price is not allowed by Rivco.
    They will not be selling them for long.
