Hi all...
With my '01 on its way I am already researching my first add-on. I have always ridden with highway pegs and I assume the RSV will be no different for long trips. I see alot of references to the kuryakyn pegs but are there any specific model numbers or other brands that I should be looking at?
Thanks for the help guys.
Merry Christmas...

I just ordered me a set of Kuryakyn pegs from Cycle Giant . Should be here on the 29th .

The ones I order are the Dually ISO-Pegs w/clamps for $89.95 . There pictures on a RSV . Mechanic has a set of the Pilot pegs on which they are thinner . Perhaps he can chime in to give you some input .

Just depends on what you want I guess. I put the longhorns because the are real adjustable. Worked out good with the lower wind vents installed.

Excellent. :cool10:
Thanks for the ideas. Looks like Kuryakyn seems to have the market cornered on this one. I really like the longhorns but they are bit more money. Is the extra worth it? My old Virago came with some old Hardly look alikes and once I got them into position I never changed them.
Any others I should consider??? :confused24:

Greg,
Longhorns are a great way to go. They allow you to adjust them for closer/farther away, not just up and down. If you are tall, or short, it is really nice. They are worth the extra money.

I like them. But I got mine off ebay for 105 I think. If they are worth the extra money? I guess that would be a personal thing. I just went that way so I did not wind up buying 2 or 3 pairs trying to find what I wanted.
The wind vents swing out so its important to clear them. I attached a couple of pics. You can see the vents come down the side of the crash bars a few inches. When opened they pivot around them

Am I looking for the 1" or 1-1/4" diameter clamps?

I just received and installed the Kuryakyn ISO-Dually pegs that I ordered about an hour ago . I haven't taken a ride yet to see how they feel , but will most likely do tomorrow or to the NC M & E . I would have ordered the longhorns , but want to see how my hips fair using highway pegs first in general .
Here's a few pic's of them . Excuse the dirty scoot !
