Lot's of adjustment available, very nice. I've seen valve cover mounted pegs on Goldwing's, are they available for the Valkyrie?

Yes. They have little adjustment, I hate them. I have ones like Adrian now, I think they rock  The Rivco valve cover ones are very high quality thick carved-from-billet pieces, but footpegs that stick straight out of the valve cover at 90 degrees are uncomfortable to me... -Mike

I love my revco pegs, unfortunately they do only have 3 positions they can be placed at (the company incorrectly says 4) using 1/4-20 threaded holes 5X but I'm a machinest so if I ever need to I can just drill and tap them my self.

There I lay, broken and bloody, my life slipping away when a beautiful winged woman in glorious golden armor appeared.
"Come with me" she said.
"To where?" I asked.
"To Valhalla"

I remember going into the Daytona JP Cycles and asking about these pegs. They claimed they would not fit the Valkyrie as the crash bar sizes were different. I thought they were wrong and almost purchased a black set.
Then I saw them on Sheffjs's bike and now this pic. I should have followed my instinct!

Hwy pegs on this bike means a riding position similar to the M109 which is why I am not riding a M109. Nothing casual about it , and that may be because of my physical structure . The handle bars are too forward , moving them back would give me a more relaxed stance and hwy pegs would make sense for me

Hey Kid, what do you think of that M109? I always thought that was a cool bike.

Man, talk about the highest level of *doushness*...  I thought you went into business to sell products...NOT to *not* sell them...  I bought them at a local Honda dealer. Took one look at the F6B and I knew in an instant that they were the same damn thing...duh..

I don't ask if "this" or "that" will work. Even the part's counter experience can be an annoyance, too. The lady at the Honda Dealership today had to ask where to find the brake pads for my 2003 Valk on her computer screen. Patience is the key to low blood pressure. Were the pegs you picked up the IIs?

Hey Kid, what do you think of that M109? I always thought that was a cool bike. [/quote]
I had 2 M109's - a 2006 and a 2015 BOSS. It's an ok cruiser bike but does not handle that well. I bought the 2015 BOSS last March and soon after discovered there was a noticable noise which resembled a rod knock that went away after 30 minutes of riding. My local Suzuki dealer told me it was the clutch and that "all M109's have a noisy clutch and is normal". When I told the dealer that I wouldn't accept his answer because my 2006 did not have the noise, I was told that I would be charged for parts and labor if they tore it down and did not find anything. I told the dealer that I may as well just give him my money then and be done with it. It did not sit well with me so I started looking around at other bikes. I had considered the Valkyrie but was not keen on the styling. I also own a 2012 Goldwing so I decided to overlook the styling and went to my local Honda dealer to test ride a Valkyrie. I think I had gone about a mile on the Valk when I said to myself "I gotta have one of these"! It also seemed like the styling made sense after that first test ride. I couldn't sell the M109 fast enough and I just bought my Valk about 3 weeks ago. BEST bike I have ever owned hands down. The M109 is an ok bike but do t expect to get any support from Suzuki. If you want a bike that you can customize to the moon and back the M109 is a great candidate. If you want torque, handling and innovative style then the Valk is king!
