I'm very pleased to announce that the VRCC has a new supporting vendor, Riding is Wonderful .
You may well know them by their famous product, Mick-O-Pegs .
Their motto is When you're comfortable, RidingIsWonderful .
What you may not know is that Mick-O-Pegs are produced within a few miles of our location for InZane X.
Mick-O-Pegs are retracting highway pegs that allow you to rest your feet low and close in to your bike. Spring loaded, made of aircraft aluminum (T6061), chromed/anodized, and assembled in Michigan w/stainless fasteners and springs.
Riding is Wonderful is currently promoting a Christmas Special:
Orders placed between December 3 and 19 will receive a second autographed copy of High On A Wing as a special Christmas gift for a friend ($17.95 value). Just indicate the name of your friend when you place your order(delivered by December 24th). Merry Christmas from RIW, Inc.
Please show your appreciation to our new supporting vendor by visiting their site at Riding is Wonderful

I have yet to get a set, but I have seen them at several events over the years as vendors and I have seen them on several bikes: Cool stuff.

I also have the Micks on my 98 tourer. Pricey, but the best design I have seen yet.
I had a set on my 03 Goldwing when I sold it.
take care, Eric

1998 Maroon and Creme Tourer. This is my second Valkyrie. I have been a member here since I had bought my first one back in 1998. I had a different account then.

Any problems with them dragging in curves? They look low.

They're springloaded. When you take your feet off them the raise up under the engine,

You can't take the curves with your feet on them, but as noted, as you lift your foot up, they spring back. Awesome for those long days cruising down the highway. -Scott |

Fudgie they mount on the angled part of the engine guard mount. If you've got other highway pegs mounted on the straight part of engine guard mount or the engine guard, you can still keep them and have multiple foot positions.

I'm short legged so mine are mounted like the MOP pix are. I can rest my heal on the oems and toes on the hw pegs. Acts like a floor board that way for me. |

Just saw their rotating banner for the first time, and it looks cool.  Nice to see Mick-O-Pegs rolling around as a sponsor. |

Harley riding friend of mine got on MAGNUM, and asked about those "unusual" pegs I have. He got on, tried them out and loved them. Great addition for comfort. And if you corner with them down, you'll be replacing the footrest like I did ...  |
