Kuryakin has highway pegs for Goldwings so you can stretch you legs out. Will these fit on a 1st generation? I need something with an extension. The little bitsy pets that fit directly to the engine guard just don't do it for me. Are there alternatives?

Will they shadow me now??? xxxxxxx@bellsouth.net> Add to Address Book Date: 2007/08/07 Tue PM 05:31:47 EDT To: CC: Add to Address Book Subject: Highway 3 Yazoo County My name is James Pettis and I have a question and a comment. I'm in Yazoo County, What district is this? Yesterday I got a speeding ticket issued by Officer Haymer, C-10 (I can't read the ticket well, this name could be wrong) for 70 in a 55. I have no problem with this tickt, he got me dead to rights. (I am curious why the two vejhicles behind me weren't stoped) I haven't had a ticket in a long time. and after thinking about it i realised that I have redeveloped some bad habits. I think in part because of this highway, Highway 3 . I travel this highway every morning going to work and every evening going home. In the mornings I have delapidated log trucks and chip trucks running 80-90 miles an hour trying to get in a certain number of loads for the day so they can make the check they need for the week. I know this because i have heard them talking on the CB radio about it. I know about their speed because I have checked them up to 90mph. I also have the added pleasure of passenger vehicles trying to get to work on time from Lousiana and from warren county. This is every morning. In the evenings, I have the same compliment of traffic but now they are running behind so i guess they have to push it a little harder so I get tailgaited pretty bad. Did i mention i ride a motorcycle. Not a crotch rocket; but a 1983 Yamaha XVZ1200. This is a Touring bike, not a speed bike. Tailgaiting and motorcycles DO NOT MIX!! I am sick of the dangerous position i and my family am being put in and the fact that every time i ask i am told that we are working on it or we are understaffed. Personally i think that we just dont want to ride up and down a road with nothing on it. On an a good note, Officer Haymer did tell me he was tired of giving breakes to Yazoo county and he would start wrighting 100 tickets a week. Is that a lot? He did show me two tickets that he wrote to truck drivers; but this afternoon. I got tailgaited again. I let him push me up to 60 before he finally had a place to pass. this was a grain truck going back after another load of corn. He turned off at Satartia. No tag on the trailer. I have been working this Job in Yazoo city for 17 years and things are getting worse. They know that if the HP runs the road they will only be here for a day or two and wont be seen again for several months. I think the road needs to be monitored by the highway patrol, not to wright tickets; but to see what i'm talking about. Put a couple of cruisers and motorcycles on the road. Unmarked so they can see the truth of the matter. That's my challenge to the MHP. Come see what i'm talking about then do something about it. I'll bet many of these trucks could be put off of this road just on equipment violations alone. Plaese pass this e-mail on to the appropriate department. And I would like to hear back from someone. Oh, By the way. let me just say again. I got my ticket fair and square. The Officer did his job. I'm not asking for a break and i'm not asking for his resignation or anything like that. Thanks for your time James Pettis

Highway 23, better known as the 'Pig Trail' in Northwest Arkansas is lots of fun with all the twisties. We picked up Hwy 23 at Ozark, AR and followed it up to Eureka Springs. Fun Ride.

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...

Which hwy pegs fit '01 Tour Deluxe?
Guest posted a topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
The '01 Tour Deluxe has tiny engine guards, and I've had a heck of a time trying to find highway pegs that will work. Any recommendations? -
The Southwood Road (County Road 13) between Torrance - at Highway 169 - and Severn Bridge - at Highway 11 - is a nice little 40 km combination of twists, ups and downs, and natural scenery. Can be done at a leisurely pace (speed limit is 60 kms/hr for most of the route) but be on the watch out for sport bikers trying to tear up the road. Cheers,

East/West Start in Searcy and run west to Fayetteville or the other way around. It will take you a while. This route is more than 200 miles. This highway crosses highways 67, 65, 7, 23, 71. All good points to get on board. The only town of any size between the start and end is Clinton. So you may need to gas up here.
