    Thanks!
    Is that as far back as they go?
    Looks like that might work for me.
    I take it you don't like the anodizing?

    I have the chrome ones. They hold up well.

    Do you have to flip them out with your hand before taking off or can you filp the out in mid flight with your boot?

    You Tube has a video of a guy riding and flipping them out.
    I am too computer illiterate to put this here for you.

    I found it difficult to flip these out with my boot. So, I copied an idea from Steve 0080 and drilled and tapped the ends and added socket head cap screws. I think Steve used acorn nuts but either works fine. It doesn't take much extra to make flipping out the pegs very easy. The Rivco's do have a purple hue in the anodizing but not nearly as much as shown in my pic:

    The anodizing has a purple cast to it and can be seen when on the bike. A poster on here talked to Revco and they mentioned they were considering powder coating. I can live with keeping what I have so I didn't follow up. The chrome center piece in the middle of the valve covers is also replaced with a heavy black anodized piece of aluminum which the pegs are attached and has three positions for length adjustment. With my shoe size I have them deployed when I start out. They are as far back as they go but there is some bend in my legs.
