I'm 6'2" with a 34" inseam. I think the pegs are a quality piece however the placement puts them up a little higher than I would like for most cruising. Its a nice option for changing your footing but based on other reviews I'm assuming that I would be better suited with some Kury Ergos since they are lower on the engine guard.
I'm 6-3 and long of leg. I love my Rivco pegs...haven't used them on a long trip, but will next week during my 2500 mile trip to Franklin. I like them because they offer a secondary riding position, and look very good on the bike. I only use them for short periods when I get tired on the stock pegs.
Buy them. Nothing else better out there IMO. The purpleish color will not bother you

Look forward to seeing many of you in Franklin (wherever that is)
Stick
I like them, they get plenty of interested stares from other riders. I'm 6' 32" inseam and I like them in forward most position. They will not scrape or touch down in turns.
I even rode thru the Dragon with them on:

They definitely have purpluish hiew in direct sunlight but not a deal breaker in my opinion. They are one of my favorite mods!
I love'em !!
I am five eleven and set them in the center.
Beautiful they are and worth the money in my opinion.
I'm happy with mine too! At 5'9" (used to be 5'10"
), the most rearward position is perfect!

Hey cool hand,
Thanks for the great pics. So , do you wish they were lower? Your legs look high up there in the pics. I'm 6' , 34" inseam.
They do seem a bit high, don't they? They are comfortable. On my '07 GW I had different forward pegs mounted lower and they were great, but they also scraped in even light turns. I had to remember to fold them up. These don't touch down at all.
I guess I got used to these just fine. Sometimes I ride for a long time with my feet on them. It may be the combination of foot pegs and Mustang seat that works for me.
You know, one can also get both sets of forward pegs, these and engine protector bar- mounted ones. That way one can have two positions for feet.
What I like about these is the stealth factor. I can easily open and close them while riding, no problem. These look like the bike came with them on stock.
I just remembered the other forward pegs I had on GW made me touch the hot engine with my legs sometimes. With these I can't touch the hot engine at all, probably due to being higher up.
Thinking of ordering these soon. Are they easy to open and close while riding? They look like they would be very difficult to open while riding. What are the owners experiences?
