Received them Friday 7/26 and installed them that night. Rode Saturday with them in the closest position, knee angle was all wrong. Moved them forward one position and rode 200 miles Sunday, they were better but not perfect. Moved them to the forward most postion, rode to work the past two days, they will be staying in this position. I am 6'1" with a 32 inch inseam.

Got mine Monday and installed Monday.Went for a ride tonight and tried them out very good for me.I am 6' 2" with 34 inseam no problems at all.
Did any of you guys notice a purple tint to the coating? It didn't quite match the black on the engine.
Or was my set just a fluke?
I'm 5'11 and with the bars all the way forward felt good but my ankle rubbed on the side of the engine. I moved them back to the nearest position and my ankles don't touch anymore and the ride is still comfortable. I love them. Going on long trip this weekend and will make my overall determination.
As far as the color mine look great. The paint job is a good match.
Mine also have a different tint than the black on the bike. Close enough for me though.

I noticed that and it would be an additional reason for me to go with chrome if I bought a pair.Originally Posted by Darkknight
No fluke, I'm afraid. There has been quite a bit of discussion on this already. Apparently, I'm not all that picky because the slight purple hue doesn't bother me at all. What has bothered me is opening them with my shoes. I found that challenging so I'm experimenting with some black rubber tips that are stuck on the bottom, outside end of the pegs. So far, so good, but I may attach something more permanently similar to what Steve 0080 did. Overall, the Aero's are great IMHO.
The set I bought do seem to match ...my problem is even when I have them set to the rear I am still straight legged.....no good. I did drill and tap a nut to be able to " grab " the extension with and this works great !!!
I have mine for sale in the classifieds section....I'm thinking $250 + $12 for shipping......

I recently had a replacement peg and mount sent out to replace my left peg. The replacement was a lot less black then my original pair and looked even more purple. Seems to be an inconsistent finishing process? They should all be the same color I would think? Looks like different batches have different tints to them. I will be getting mine powder coated over the winter for a better match.
I installed the Rivco pegs today. They are a quality piece and much better than the chincy plastic chrome cover they replaced. The black anodized coloring seems fine to me, but I haven't looked at it in direct sunlight yet. Even if they are a sightly different shade of black it's still fine with me. I have no problem opening them with my boots and it seems they will work well for my 30" inseam and allow me to stretch my legs out on the highway as needed. About to take a test ride with them now.
