adjustable Passenger Pegs Rivco?
I put Kurakyn adjustable passenger pegs on my Ultra. I was kind of disappointed in them, as the first 2 positons are blocked by the saddlebag guards, and the ones that are available are higher, when my wife really wanted to be able to stretch her leg out more.
Last week the right side floorboard and passenger peg fell off my bike sheared off at the bracket bolt. Lost permanently. I have a $1.49, grade 5 bolt 3/8 fine thread bolt as a temporary in there.
I dont want to go back to the Kurakyn. My HD dealer recommended some fancy passenger peg mounts that are quite adjustable, but are more or less in permanent postion once you tighten all the allen screws.
I found this Rivco easily adjustable passenger peg mount that looks pretty cool. Anybody try it?

They look pretty nice, but two things as compared to the Kury's. Once set, the passenger still has only has one spot to put her feet, unless you stop and readjust. The other is the adjustment lever looks like someone left an allen wrench stuck in a bolt.

The first locked position on the Kury's is straight up vertical. The second locked position is forward of that. How is that blocked by the saddlebag guard. Do you have them mounted backwards?????

I also agree with MNPGrider....they do look pretty nifty BUT only 1 position and unless you stop to readjust.

No they are mounted correctly. Yes technically there are 2 forward positions, but they are so close there isn't much difference. The main thing is my wife has long legs, one reason I married her, and I want a lower, farther out position, and this Rivco looks interesting. Also in the most forward position it is made to rest your calf on, not your foot, and is not comfortable. I am going to wait for some feedback, and probably get these.

I change my position while riding from the floor boards to the highway pegs. Why wouldn't you want the passenger to have the same flexibility? I can adjust the Kury's for my wife while riding. These Rivco things would be impossible to adjust while riding.

As it is now , stock, the passenger rests haven't any adjustment while on the road so I don't see the need to have to have that option. Maybe nice but if she wants I'll stop and make an adjustment , although she just likes to ride and doesn't complain. BTW: I'm not against passenger comfort..
