Good to know. Maybe I'll hold off on buying pegs (or anything else) from them.

I bought Kuryakyn switchblades for my son's bike 2 years ago. I took him on the big circle trip as a graduation present. One of the "switchblades" rattled off somewhere in Louisiana. He finished the next 6K miles with a stump on the left side. I would never buy from this company again.

RE: Kuryakyn Swing Pegs all defective
I have had a set for a year and the right side will come loose with the smallest amount of load. Should have been knurled or had a left hand thread. I just use them as pegs and don't use the bs swing feature. The basic iso pegs are great but the leverage of the switch blades just can be held by the allend head screw. I have tried blue loctite as well. Mine are going to become part of a yard sculpture along with the stock pipes, fork springs, sissy bar, etc. The fix for me is a buddy in a machine shop that is going to make me customs per my design. I will likely harvest the rubber parts from the kury crap. Billet with knurled indexing features to hold them in place. 100 bucks and a case of beer.

Wow that's a bummer. I was just about to buy those switchblade pegs. I bought the ISO grips for my Dad's bike about 5 years ago. He bought all pegs to match and loves them. Says they are still holding up good too. Wonder if anyone has had any good luck with them....

Not worth it at all. I'm not sure how long mine will last. They right one will not hold any type of pressure as it moves...I do not recommend their pegs at all.
