After my inaugural F6b ride today that I need some highway pegs, like the clean look of the Rivco Aero flip outs but know nothing of them Would go for the black but I like the strip of chrome that would come off the engine, ya I'm a chrome guy, so I am thinking about the triple chromed ones.
I' lowered, Mustang seat, 5'9",31" inseam.
Input from flip out owners would be appreciated or input on other options, thanks in advance.
They have a chrome set. I habe black live them easily to put on an adjust at 5'11" middle works best for me
I'm 5'10" and I could not reach the pegs and feel comfortable.....sold them.....

Have the black ones and like them a lot.At 6' 2" they are full forward and no problems so far with them.I had them for about 10 months now
Ride it like you stole it
I am also 5'9" 31" inseam. I just put the aero pegs in chrome on my bike today. The pegs can be positioned in the center between the two bolts in the chrome strip, or about an inch to the rear, where they will just cover up the rear bolt. I have them towards the rear.
They look really nice. I think they balance out the chrome mufflers and maintain the stock look that you and I like.
I have the stock seat
I went for a brief ride and tried them out. The seating position is a little weird...feet up a little high, and out, yet your hands are still down kind of low on the handlebars. The pegs are narrow front to back, and I had a little trouble keeping my feet positioned on them, at least initially. The wind pushed back on my feet and the rear edge of the valve covers hit my inner ankles.
It also felt a little funny being so far from the foot controls.
My old bike was a Harley with forward controls, slightly raised handlebars and a dished in seat so this is what I am used to.
I will let you know what else I think after I have some more miles on them.
@Coop creek: Are those the ones you are talking about? Seen at Wingstuff. I like those because of their hidden attachment on the bike, but i also don't want to loose the chrome thing on the engine.
Yes, that is the Rivco Aero flip-out highway peg, but the one in your picture is anodized silver. You can buy one that has a chrome finish but it will cost more. The chrome finished assembly replaces the chromed plastic strip (with the "HONDA" emblem), with a chromed metal strip. The pegs attach with two bolts into threaded holes in the metal strip.
here is a picture,
Thank you for telling about the difference between the anodized and the chrome variation! - i didn't recognize the differnce (getting old). Looks really good!
really like the look & feel of the Aero. Mine are black. Put the Kury on first & took them right off. 6'0" with 31" inseam. Middle setting
