Let it be known and let it be written, this is the best bike I've ever owned, and I ain't shittin!
Yes, I ordered them directly from Rivco's website.
I'm confused by the pics. The left side shows 1 out of 2 mounting bolts and the right side shows 2 out of 2. Are these bolted on?
I just used chewing gum to hold them in place...
Good eye. Both side valve covers are uneven length, the left side being longer. Pegs are mount in the exact same location on both sides, however on right peg is between the bolts while on left it overlaps forward bolt. It is normal.
Valve covers should be the same size, one side will be off-set because 1st, 3rd and 5th cylinders are slightly more forward than 2nd, 4th and 6th cylinders on the opposite side.
I am nowhere near my Bike to see which 3 cylinders (left or right side) sit more forward than the opposite side.
The difference should be the width of the piston shaft collar. Approximately between 3/4" - 1"
Interesting. Everything is so symmetrical on this bike I didn't even look twice at the valve covers to see if they're different. Thanks for the info!
So what's on the fuel lock? Looks like a knob that opens the door without a key.
That's correct, I made a key knob as per instructions found elsewhere on this forum. Short story, at Home Depot key axxis 27r (for Honda Civic) fits our bikes, costs couple of bucks to make, than I bought a door handle at Autozone at glued the key in it (cutting it to fit right). It fits both fuel door lock and glove storage lock, but cannot start the bike as key is not long enough. It also won't unlock saddlebags, I need to make another key for that.Interesting.

When I took the chrome valve cover strips off, the left one is a bit longer than the right one.

I should have looked at the above images before posting earlier.
If you enlarge the top right image posted above (the view from the passenger seat looking forward) you will see that at the bottom of the front fairing closest to the Rider on both sides shows the difference between the two cylinder heads, the left is further back than the right side.
BlackBetty, we would love to carry these on our site and plan to put them up soon, but there are currently delays from the manufacturer and we want to be sure there will be no delays shipping the Highway Pegs to our customers. If you would like to order them from us you are more than welcome to, but there will be a short delay shipping the item due to backorder from RIVCO. Let us know if you have any questions.
