Big thanks to the Cruiseman for the video. Got mine today and installed them tonight. Only took an hour and a half. Cannot wait to get out into the wind.
Just saw this and I have a pair on my DCT Tour. Very solid feel and love the adjustability. Also like them being concealed when folded in. Very nice!
Another very helpful video by the Cruiseman!!! Can't wait until mine come in. Thanks
Thank you so much for your video on how to install these I just got through installing mine and went without a hitch I truly appreciate your knowledge
Yee haw, got my bike 2 weeks ago it's 108 in the morning in Galveston Texas, followed your video couldn't have been easier got them all installed stretched out as far as it'll go that will be amazing thanks for the clear clear directions
Hell yeah, I've been waiting for something like this. High enough to do some aggressive riding when closed, and they look comfortable.
This was helpful when I installed mine yesterday on my 2019 DCT. Thanks as always for the great video
Once again, tyvm for the video!
Great video. Mine arrived today and I installed them without issue per your video. I have a 29" inseam, so I mounted the pegs in the rear-most position, and they fit fine for me. When you do this, the lead mounting hole is exposed at the front of the steel mounting bracket. Rivco supplies two short button-head screws to screw in these holes to dress up the finished product. Will be trying these out tomorrow!
Very cool!
These work great,put on my 2018!!😊
Love it. Ordered in black.
I bought the chrome set today for my 2008!!
I have to say, this kit looks so solid and well made, however I did not like how it blocks the nice looking engine head. It looks so bulky installed. That is the only reason i went with Goldstrike's set. Also, the endless adjustability and for a 6'4" it is a must. I do love Rivco's fog lights !!!!!!!!!!
Love it. Great job and video
I have one for sale Chris never install 175$ shipping includes new one worth 349.95$ thanks for the video Chris always top notch.
for 330$ , they bettr b comfortable, my god! good vid,very concise and short. For some reason i 've seen them on later models like 15/16s and they seem more seemless, and dont have that big ugly bracket, if i recall, right guys?
Awesome. Thank you.
Been wanting these for awhile now and finally got them from Wingstuff. You mentioned, and they indicated in the instructions that the black powder coated baseplate was marked left and right. Mine had no such markings, and were not labeled in the packaging either. I did look closely at the pic and your video and it appears the left baseplate protrudes forward slightly more than the right one. So that’s how I mounted them.
I’m 5’11” with 33” inseam, and the mid mount seems just right for me. Delivery was fast and your video and their instructions were very good, except for that labeling I mentioned. Thanks again for the review and recommendation. I always find it interesting that you cruise along using a bunch of metric stuff, then, out of nowhere, you need some SAE tools to finish the job. Or is it just me?
Awesome Cruiseman. Thank you!
I've just spoiled myself and bought a shoei neotec 2 helmet with the srl sena headset. So I may wait till next week to get my pegs.
You actually found the damn SRL somewhere? Its out of stock everywhere I look, still. I've had the helmet since April.
Great video. Used it to put my Aero pegs on...twice..one for each side..lol. 🤭
Thank you for all the great video's. How soon is your video coming out for the Wing soft seat? My butt is aching on long rides. I'm anxious for your review.
Great video! So happy for the aftermarket, if it was a Honda product, you would have had to take off half the bodywork. 🤣
LOL!
Hey Cruiseman, do you have a page somewhere where you list everything you have done to your bike?
I just installed the lower wind deflectors which extends the lower fairing out about 2 inches. It appears, from the video that your legs/knees are very close to the side of the stock fairing. Will I have to remove the lowers to accommodate for leg room. This may be a $500 investment ($300 for pegs, $200 for deflectors), if I have to remove the deflectors.
I’ve installed these on my bike and noticed that the left side seems to sit about a half inch forward than the right. Is it like that on your bike? Thanks.
Thank you for the video. Rivco had had my money since March 2018 for these pegs that have been unavailable. THey say they have the parts & will ship next week. They are great pegs but as a company Rivco should not charge my card until they ship. Also they sold these at An]mericade without shipping prepaid orders

I researched your order and our records show it was placed on May 24th. The very limited number of sets we had at Americade were previous pre orders to yours. Those were pre production sets that i personally installed to confirm that everything was correct before our all out production began. we had a slight delay with one of our vendors on the finishing of the parts over the week of the 4th. The last few days it has been "all hands on deck" including myself to get the first 150 sets shipped. Your set is at the front of the line with those and will ship today or Monday. We/I appreciate your patience. Rich Colano designer/ founder Rivco Products
I have a question, do they make these pegs for the 2022 Honda Goldwing touring
Big big thank you cruise man! I’ve got those pegs on my 2016 F6B! I am on them all the time!!! do a lot of riding around town I like you can stretch your legs out!
Have you put another seat on is Corbin making anything✌️
samz1069
No need for Corbin...Wing Soft a local Texas company refurbishes/enhances the existing OEM GoldWing seat to amazing levels of comfort. Check Crusimans’s video specifically about this.
Will they break if you push hard on them?
Hey, I was an autobody and paint tech for 45 years and always considered throwing away my 16 mm sockets and now you tell me that they make a bolt to fit my sockets ??? dang !
Be advised, I installed the Rivco Highway pegs on my DCT 2021. After two rides, the bolt snapped inside the cylinders. The dealer attempted to extract them unsuccessfully, and now I am facing approximately $6k worth of damage and will need to replace both side cylinders. The design of these highway pegs is problematic. I believe the bolts snapped due to the weight or pressure of my feet on the pegs.
Hello Cruiseman, why did you remove your Rivco Aero Pegs?
Have only had my aero pegs about a week. I keep looking down in sharp corners to see my clearance. Have you scraped yours at all?? Or can I stop praying. Lol
The Rivco aero pegs looks good on my 2018 Gooldwing UNTIL you have to adjust because your shorter.. They do not position the same on both sides.. so if your looking for something that will look the same it will not.. I did contact the manafacture and he was hung up on the 6 cylinder.. I sent pictures that showed the left looked good, the right side set back 7/8 of an inch... looks like crap on the bracket..
Chris, I am ready to purchase highway pegs for my 2018 Tour DCT. I like the subtle look of the RIVCO pegs, but people complain+ that the black finish is coming off. Do you still have those pegs on your bike? Have you tried the Show Chrome highway pegs? They are bulkier but look more comfortable.
I'm wondering the same thing and find it interesting that CM hasn't answered this question and several others exactly the same. Future videos he shows of his bike seem to show that he has removed the Rivco's and I wonder why.
Cruiseman did those Rivco Aero pegs fail or break? Noticed them missing on your newest videos.
I removed them because I make so many videos that required me to remove them to get to the engine cases. I really miss them.
Very informative installation video. Do you still have the RIVCO pegs installed on your bike?
I wonder why no answer from the Cruiseman? I believe he has taken these off his own bike and that makes me curious.
Question; Will these pegs, or for that matter, any highway pegs work, with the lower Honda wind deflectors?
Yes they will physically fit with the lower wind deflectors. However the deflectors may rub the inside of your leg pending on your size and mounting position.

Go cruise man
Best Highway Pegs for the 2018+ GW. One little comment : The 4 mm Allen screws which are holding the Adapter Plate in place are so soft, you even destroy them if you tighten them with the recommended Torque which is 4-6 ft-lbs. Just finger tight, not more !!
Good point
Hey Cruiseman! I have an inseam of 33-34" and am 6'1" tall. What is your take on the stock position of the standard riding pegs and seat out of the box? Did you feel scrunched on the bike? I think that I will definitely have to add highway pegs for long highway stretches. But I'm kinda wondering how the regular foot pegs are feel after a few hours.
You are about the same height/inseam as me, and I did NOT feel cramped. Highway pegs are still nice to have on long rides.
Thanks Cruisman!
Nice video. I was wondering what would happen during a tip over. My concern is that on my previous Wings when I dropped the bike the pegs were mounted on the crash bars and they would just slip around the bar. I just would have to re-adjust them. If these break away I wonder will you be able to just buy the part that broke away?
If the pegs were fully extended, and depending on the way the bike tips over, they could shear off. In most cases, they would probably just fold up and out of the way. Only if there would be damage to the engine case would they shear off. Then, yes, you would have to purchase a replacement.
Also, I can't count the number of valve covers cracked by Kury Ergo pegs after a tip-over.
I guess I was very luck with mine. Never had any damage.
I sent a message to Rivco, I will post their response when/if they respond.
I can see my concern sparked a defensive response although I don't see the connection to the 2018 pegs. However my pegs are indexed with grub screws which would substantially reduce the likelihood of this type of event, though admittedly not impossible.
=====================================================================================================
My original thought was toward their decision to make only three bolts sacrificial and I asked you because I may have missed something in the video that would answer that question.. Peace-out
Yes you can buy just the pegs. Being an american company and American made we have the replacement parts and want our customer to return and tell their friends
I have another question; when I went to the Rivco to inquire I noticed that these pegs are only available for pre-order. How did you get a set, are you affiliated with Rivco?
Bass Player RIVCO sent me a pre-production set of pegs so that I could produce the install video.
If you had to pick between highway pegs or backrest, which would you choose?
Interesting question. Probably backrest.
@@cruisemansgarage Well I ordered one of the utopia backrests. Will let you know my thoughts
So you put those in the middle position, and it looks like your legs were stretched out just about perfect. How tall are you? I have these out in my garage, ready to put on. Thank you for your videos!
I am 6’ 2” with 33” inseam
@@cruisemansgarage Thank you, I'm about an inch shorter, center mount is what I will do. Best
So these three alloy bolts are sacrificial, what about the two that mount above? If the three on the bottom shear then all the load is leveraged to the upper two. I think I would find two more soft bolts for the upper part.
It's a nice design but boy are the expensive @ 300 bucks...
This would be a question better asked of the engineer(s) at RIVCO. My "guess" is that the bracket would have a small amount of flex after the 3 lower screws snapped off. In most tip-over scenarios, the pegs would simply fold up and out of the way.
I would think it is designed not to penetrate the valve cover, The ideal condition would be to completely depart the bike. but that is just an opinion, everyone has one right?
Nice presentation...
The flip-out peg itself IS designed to shear off and "depart" the bike. However, there could be an instance where, depending on the dynamics of the tip-over, where stress could be placed on the valve covers and then those screw heads would shear off. If the pegs are retracted, they should never contact the ground.
I see
The peg and or the screws breaking away is only an likely or possible on rare occasion should the bike tip over hard at a complete stop with the peg deployed. If the bike is moving forward at any speed the peg folds back in. If the bike goes down softly as in you get caught off guard, your foot slips, you just can't hold the bike up and you let it down slowly and the peg touches down neither the peg or the screws break away.. We have used this design with the slot in the bottom of the peg as a safety on the previous generation Gold Wing for 4 years. In that time we have sold over 2,500 sets with only a handful of people ever ordering a replacement peg.
For the 2018 model in addition to the slot we designed in the soft aluminum screws as a second safety as for 2018 since we are attaching to the valve cover bolts directly with the lower screws.
When the bike tips to the point the peg touches the tip over bar is close to the ground. When the screws break away the peg and bracket pivot or angle up slightly until the full weight of the bike is on the tip over bar. This does not damage or bend the upper screws. Also we felt it best that the main components stay with the bike should this happen.

Cruise-Do feel this system takes anything away from this beautiful engine?
Yes. The only thing I don't like about them.
I installed today also don't care that they hide the engine cover
No blue loctite used in this case?
Nope
I purchased the pegs and received them last week. Went to install them and noticed the same thing i am reading in the comments, right side does not sit or locate the same as the left. when i called aero, they say it is because the engine casings are not symmetrical from left to right. From what i can see, if the holes were drilled in the same location, symmetrically on the mounting bracket, then they would line up. anyone heard or noticed that the engine covers where these mount are not symmetrical? Thinking on welding up and redrilling holes or just making a new plate to put back in line. Shame i spent $350 on pegs and i get to modify or make parts just to mount them.
Are you sure they did not send you the incorrect mounting hardware?
@@cruisemansgarage I think the one is wrong as the left lines up perfect. When I called customer support I was told they are supposed to be shifted as the engine is shifted from side to side. What I have you are not able to bolt up using same holes alignment on right side as left side.
Hey Cruiseman, How did you get your highway pegs? I went to the site and its saying there not available yet. As a result, I tried to order a pair from amazon and I receive the wrong type that is compatible with the 2001-2017 model goldwing. Any help you can provide will be appreciated
JSmooth1967 I received a set of pre-production pegs for the purpose of shooting the install video for RIVCO. I know that they have been swamped with orders.
Cruiseman's Garage ok
Thanks for the info
My kit came with screws not shown in the video. I also had spares.
I had spares too. 2 of the screws that mount the pegs on the bike, and 2 really short 4mm Allen head screws. Watched the video a couple extra times. I’m confused but can not figure out what they are for. I checked my inventory at the beginning and it seemed to match.
@@tomhb9479 The two extra screws are only used when the mounting bracket is moved forward exposing an empty hole. The screws fill the holes for aesthetics.
Thanks Frederick!
How tall are you and is there more adjustment for someone taller (I'm 6'4") ?
I am 6' 2" with a 33" inseam. Yes, you can adjust the pegs up to 2.5" farther out.
Cruiseman's,
Thanks for the quick reply. Good to know... as the highway pegs that came on my 2008 weren't really far enough forward for me to be comfortable. My 2008 was totalled and I'm considering a 2018 as a replacement.
Thanks for all the great videos...
GordWing I too am 6’4”,and curious about the same thing. I’m afraid they are mounted to high and too close to the bike. Sure wish I could find a bike with them mounted to do a test fit. $300 is a lot for a bad fit.
1rst. Looks like a cool piece. Do they have them for previous versions?
Yes. They make them for 2001-2017 models as well!
Yes we make them for the 2001-2017 models in black, silver or chrome.

Rich Colano i just bought as set today at WIngDing for my 2008. Bought the chrome ones
Curious, do you still have these on your bike? Do you use them?
I do not, but I really miss them. I removed them because I have to take my engine covers off so often for video purposes and it was one more thing I had to remove and re-install. But, they are still my favorite highway peg.
@@cruisemansgarage I ordered mine a few days ago. Thanks.
Cruise man, I believe you commented that you were 6’2”. I am 6’4” do you think you would be comfortable with the pegs at my height? Don’t want too feel cramped at $300 a pop.
Donnie. I would not want to make any promises, but I found them comfortable and they can be adjusted another 1" to 2" farther forward than where I had them set.
Thank you for getting back to me, I really appreciate it.
@@cruisemansgarage I've never used pegs before. I'm 6-3 but apprehensive about having my feet so far forward. Do you rely on a backrest? I rode 300 miles today and my knees suffered the last 75 miles. Surprisingly cramped ride compared to my 2003. My wife complained about her boards too. Any recommendations for her?
Where do you buy these
Rivco.com
It is with reluctance that I take a negative attitude toward this product. First, the complexity of the engineering to solve a problem that should not exist drives the price off the page for cruise pegs. Honda makes one of the most sophisticated motorcycles on the planet and they don't engineer a cruise peg which a large majority of touring riders require as part of their touring needs. I am six feet tall and I have these pegs moved as far aft as possible and I must unlock my knee to reach the peg. There is no rest in this position. Additionally, the actual peg is powder coated and slick as the devil in dry or wet conditions. I must concentrate to keep my feet on the pegs. Last, many times on a trip I like to stretch out my leg and allow the peg to support my leg at the ankle. Don't try this on this peg. There is no open locking mechanism and the peg will fold under the weight of your leg. When this happens for the first time, the peg folded all the way in and my foot dropped all the way to the roadway. I don't need these issues for a cruise peg that was designed for a cool chrome look. I can understand this, but all engineers should be striving for function over form, not the other way around..
I installed these on a new 2022 21k miles ago. Installed to spec, nothing was over tightened. I went to change my spark plugs and found that the 3 valve cover bolts are broken off in the cylinder head. Having the bracket bolted on above these hides this fact until you have to disassemble them to get to your plugs. This is a bad design and should be taken off the market. The weight of your foot on the peg adds stress to the replacement valve cover bolt, add heat and time and youve broken the bolts holding the top of your valve cover.
Yes, I bought some second hand, in two minds about the design.
I took the original bolts to an engineer add a 6 mm thread as the one of the suppled bolts broke but was able to remove the broken bolt. The supplied bolts are prone to fail two different metals infuse together, The broken thread you can it’s not good quality,
The actual pegs are very well made, time will tell if it was a good idea touse the original, they are quality, just added a 5 mm rubber spacer to bring it out to the right distance.
My new '21 came with those. I'm 6' 3" tall. I can barely reach them. Unless you're an NBA center look for something else. These won't work.
They can be adjusted and pulled back closer to you.
This vendor basically has nothing for 2020 and higher it would appear. Boo hiss
