They are so nice due to the fact that you can change your riding position and stretch out your legs. You can rotate the peg up to 90 different positions is what they say on their website making it nice for all heights. I am 6'1 and love being able to stretch out.
Did they come chromed?
They come in black or chrome...I've had both....

The highway peg mounts are alloy under the paint,wont rust. The engine guards I got chromed.:wink2:
Yes I found that with my modded seat I can use the highway pegs to push myself against the pillion seat, taking pressure off those areas that some used the seat raising method to solve. I ride with 80% or more using the highway pegs, with the new flash on the ECU it is probably closer to 90% now, as no need to downshift entering 60 KM/HR zones.
I like this setup and it looks like you can in fact easily move the pegs in and out while seated on the bike. My concern, though is that the nearly horizontal pivot orientation does not protect them from damage in a tip over or fall. Any thoughts from your perspective?
When they are folded in they become part of the crash bar.When out and the bike falls over there is a chance that they could support it.
The engine guards in chrome were why I asked....
I got them chromed by my local chrome guy last winter. All black bike,I was looking for some variety. A plus is they glint in the sunlight or headlight from any angle, Like to be seen!
Alloy wheels underneath the paint. I havent tried any fancy mag wheel polish,just clean them like normal. SOS pad works good but not on paint. Used aircraft paint stripper and masking tape following a guy that posted how to do. Although if you wanted to take a wheel to Baldev the Chrome guy and he dips it in his stripping tank it would come out all alloy,no paint left at all. I just stripped the rims... :wink2:
