Why are the Mic O, Rivco Aero Blades, Kuryakyn Ergo III pegs so expensive?

[terryboyle]

A buddy has the Rivco pegs and they just fit so well I want to get a set.
Checked our sponsor Wingstuff: $299.99.
So I look at the Ergo III pegs, they have to be more reasonable. Sure they are - $287.99.
Ergo II looks like a bargain at $198.99 but they are chrome and don't suit the aesthetic of my F6B.

Are these things made out of Unobtainium or Vibranium Steel alloy (like Captain America's shield)?

Does anyone have a set they would like to sell because they were not what you wanted?

You just missed a black Rivco set for sale...they must be gone. A few guys were on them. I have the Rivco's at full price and wouldn't change a thing.

I'm with Wayne - I paid full price for the black Aeros and never looked back.

They way they blend with the frame when stowed and the "blade look" when they are deployed is aesthetically very pleasing.
I don't like things that hang off...unless it's for my Harley.

Cheers,

I've heard on long trips that the Rivco blades get a little uncomfortable due to their lack of surrface area for the feet to rest on. Has anyone had this issue?

I use mine strictly for leg reposition. 5 miles later, I'm back on the pegs. I couldn't use them for long stretches. The pegs are fine for me most of the time.

Done a few 1000+ mile trips. No issues here.
Have a 30" inseam and size 9 feet so my boot heel hits them in a good spot for me.
However, I use them as an alternate - not a primary.
I also put my heels on them to stretch out my hamstrings.

Hope this helps.

RIVCO is a great value at $299. Well worth it. Highly machined. Functional and look killer. Have you ever bought Harley aftermarket stuff?
I use mine a lot to alleviate the arthritis pain in my hips. Did some 1000+ miles days because of them....and my Russel seat!

Hey Terry, I have a set of black Ergo II with the mini arms that don't work for me. Shoot me a PM if you're interested and we can hash out a price.
