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.

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.

Just put them on and tried them. Excellent workmanship, great comfort. There are 3 different positions possible, I installed mine in the furthest setting. This allows me to completely stretch my legs forward. Easy to fold when not needed while riding, somewhat more difficult to open them up during riding. I think they should have a small notch in the back to facilitate opening with your foot while riding, but still not a deal breaker.

Also the pegs will not limit cornering clearance as they are mounted high enough, although they should be folded when riding aggressive, just in case. Another bonus is that your legs are not resting against the engine while using, your legs will only rest against the bottom side fairing.

All in all, very nice and unique product, looks like they are stock, beautifully integrated. Installation was a breeze, took me about 15 minutes for both sides. I hope this helps anyone interested.

Hey Cool Hand, Where did you get the F6B lettering thats on both side's and front of your bike. Could you tell how to get them. Thank's Kawi69

The chrome letters on sides of bike I bought at Autozone or Advanced Auto Parts store, not sure which one, I have both in my town. They were stock items displayed on the rack right next to license frames. About $1 a piece.

The black letters on front of bike as well smaller chrome letters on the back of bike I ordered from internet: www.chromecarletters.com

Black ones are 1" Mercedes Benz Gunblack Style, while rear chrome ones are 3/4" Basic Style Small. You purchase them each, inexpensive, and they all have double sided tape on the back, just like the OEM ones.
