    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:

    Looks like that might work for me.
    I take it you don't like the anodizing?
    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.

    I ordered the Rivco Aero pegs last night from F6B forum sponsor Value Accessories. They had the best price I could find and I've purchased other stuff from them before and they have always shipped promptly and delivered as promised. My pegs will be on the FEDEX truck today so I should have them installed and ready to ride this weekend. Will post an update once I try them out.

    Thumbs up for pegs

    Ordered and installed the aero-pegs last week. Best modification I've made to the bike so far, waited far too long to try them. Changes the whole character of the bike at cruising speed; love being able to stretch the legs out on this bagger. Love the bike even more now. If you haven't tried aero-pegs, you're missing out.

    I've had my Rivco pegs on over a week now and they are perfect for my 30" inseam. I have them installed in the closest position and can cruise comfortably on the highway now on my Road Wing Couch.

    Very high quality part, easy install and well worth the money.
