Highway pegs

[idcrewdawg]

So I've had my Corbin seat installed for a couple weeks now, and my daily commute with it (62 miles a day) isn't too bad. Today I did 150 miles on the bike and it's no better than the OEM seat for any kind of distance riding. I've got a 1000 miles into the seat for break-in, and figure that should show some kind of improvement.

While on the ride today, I tried putting my feet out where highway pegs would be, and can tell a major difference in the comfort of the seat. So my question to you folks is ; is there an difference in quality, comfort, fit or price in pegs you've found not sold by Honda versus those that are sold by Honda?

I bought some Chinese knockoff Kuryakyn highway pegs that were made to fit a harley.  I got them because they were the only long armed highway pegs that are black.  They were only $90.  The only thing about them were that they are made to fit a 1-1/4" bar.  I used some black ABS pipe to fill the gap, and then drilled, and tapped for a bolt, so that they wouldn't twist.

The Corbin is much better when on the highway pegs big time!!!!! Did 240 today not one once of sore and I am 250lbs

I bought the black egro II's and I am very happy. Now your posts make sense as I could not believe your weren't happy with the Corbin

I had trouble with pegs mounted up front like the black ones as they were too far forward for me.  I bought a set of Kuryakyn boards for a old Valk and mounted them with the arm pointing back.  They aren't quite as comfortable as they are on the old Valks, but I like the position and the fact that I can move my feet up and down.

Personally, I get soreness from the stock seat due to its width; if I slide forward enough, about 1 & 1/2 inches, I can ride all day.  The soreness is due to excessive pressure created at the thigh-buttock junction from the seat's rear width. 

I am probably wrong but it sounds like this is happening, as lifting your legs removes the pressure point.  Check to see if this is the case by sliding forward on the seat during normal riding to see if it helps reduce your soreness.  If so then have Corbin narrow the widest area of the seat.  I would like a different seat but until I can find one in the shape I want, gunfighter, with the pocket moved forward and the bucket narrowed, I'm sticking with what I've got.

I originally had the Rivco pegs.  They proved to be too far forward for me.  They are adjustable but the rear most position is by the center head cover bolt.  To far forward for me with as 31 inch inseam and a Corbin seat that I think moved me back a little.  Their design is beautiful but not functional for me.

I paid the big dollars for the Kuryakyn Ergo III Highways pegs.  They are also adjustable but has much more travel than the Rivco's and got the pegs to a comfortable position.  They also retract automatically.

  I too bought the Chinese ones and installed but I'm 6-3 and they are a stretch. If I had it to do again, I would get the adjustable, expensive ones so I could move them around as needed.

                    There are several ones on the market. The only thing I would say is get a set that is adjustable in all direction to get the most comfort. and they are avail. in chrome or black in some models. Spend some time and shop around
