I've had good luck with the few Kuryakyn parts I've ordered. Generally, however, all parts have been cosmetic rather than structural. I believe I would think twice about using their non-cosmetic parts.
I put their ISO grips on my first bike, they seemed well made and they held up for the 8 years I owned that bike. I've not used any other products of theirs, but I've read many complaints on this forum in regard to the quality of some of their products, particularly the chrome plating falling quickly.
looking at their highway pegs... what is the concensus on those?
I have the Kuryakyn Longhorn Offset Highway Pegs on my RKC for about 1 year now. They are holding up just fine, and I really like the multiple adjustment points so I can get them just right. No quality/durability issues so far.
Kury has been a player in aftermarket for decades. THey have traditionally been what most consider "higher end", from my experience that is based on price comparison.
Their parts for the most part are of good quality. They are sturdy and seemingly well designed, at least the parts I have had. The finish doesn't always hold up but I think anything chrome can have batches of parts that are better than others. I have had a few different style of highway bars on various bikes over the years. Anything you put a boot on tends to take a beating and my last two sets (one on previous bike for 4 years before bike sold, Current set on bike when I bought 2 yrs ago) and both are holding up well in my opinion.
The only thing I've used from them so far is a between the fork chrome deflector and so far it looks good as new. (1 yr / 5000 miles) Chrome finish seems to be good quality and it was a good value.
