KewLMetal Hiway Pegs Installed

[KNIGHTRIDER]

Last Saturday I picked up a set of RT Hi-way Pegs from Mad Matt at KewLMetal. I had a 600 mile inspection scheduled on Wed so I had Jay Largo of Desert Dog Off Road, Fountain Hills, AZ install them for me as he had to remove most of the plastic from the left side to change the oil filter.

The install was very smooth but as this was Jay's first chance to remove this much plastic, we took it slow to make sure we knew which fastener came from where. Matt's verbal instructions were easy to follow and the actual installation of the brackets took about 15 minutes. There are a couple of tricks to watch for and Matt assures me that they will be covered in the final instructions that will come with the set. The only problem encountered was the shift lever was touching the left bracket but it was resolved by adjusting the shift linkage a couple of turns. (Be sure to check this clearance prior to replacing the lower panel)

The pegs are easily adjusted and I now have them where they are comfortable for me. The finished pictures are not the final position.

Matt says he has many more mods for the RT in his mind but the pegs were important to me. I went for a short 40 mile ride yesterday and after one last adjustment they did exactly whet I wanted them to do.

I installed those brackets on my 09 some time ago and am very pleased with them. They won't let you stretch as much as some but they are very strong and solid. I like mine.:thumbup:

Knightrider - Are the mini boards black?

I have seen chrome but those look black and look great. Lonnie

 

[KNIGHTRIDER]

These were powder coated black to match the lower parts of the RT.

 

[TicketBait]

Very nice, how much?

 

[KNIGHTRIDER]

Around $360. Price will vary due to taxes and shipping. Check with Mad Matt.

The pegs are easily adjusted and I now have them where they are comfortable for me. The finished pictures are not the final position.

.

can you post pics of you sitting on with foot on rest and either how tall you are or your in- seam measurement. mine is 33" and not sure if it would be comfortable,

I rode the demo today trying to simulate. would you brake with your right heel or lift and place on peg/ brake pedal?

 

[KNIGHTRIDER]

My inseam is 30". The pegs do not extend as far as H-Ds or even my Goldwing but they are enough to change the position of my legs to get the blood moving again. With your long legs, I would check with Mad Matt to see if a 3rd extender could be attached w/o changing the integrity. I need someone to assist taking pics of me on the RT. Will do so in the next couple of days and get them posted.

I suppose you could operate the brake with your heel but to me it seems to be a very dangerous operation. I have no trouble pulling my leg back and using the brake normally.

 

[Amanda B]

Will those work on an RS?

 

[KNIGHTRIDER]

Yes. Check with Mad Matt on this forum or at Kewl Metals.

 

[Neez]

With a brake pedal extender and those pegs, heel braking is ok for me. But braking is smoother and more controlled using the ball of the foot from the stock pegs.

I have posted the installation instructions and installation video for the Kewlmetal highway brackets on our website for anybody interested to see what it takes to install these. The install video also details how to take your side body panels off your RT for anybody who wants to watch that. The first full production run on these is in work now so production kits will start shipping in about 2 weeks, just FYI for you folks that have ordered already.

Matt, I don't know you but this is the best how to do it right video EVER

my gosh I think I could install these my self.:2thumbs:

couple questions, the type of board that you used on the right side was with silver and black and the left side looked all black but
I didn't see that type of footrest on your web site.

Also since I am getting the SE5, do I skip the stuff about the linkage on Part 1 of the video, and will or would anything else
be different??

again great job, is it just as easy to put back, I suppose I will just reverse the order or maybe review the pdf file
I haven't downloaded yet.

Thanks Matt:clap:

TicketBait,

We sell the Kuryakyn ISO wings in chrome OR black. They only come from Kury in chrome, so there is a $39 charge for dis-assembly, powder coat, and re-assembly. If you want black, just add a comment to your order.

For the SE5 you will just be able to skip the shifter part.

To put the panels back on, just play the video backwards....

Just kidding...kinda...you will just have to reverse the steps.

Sorry for being so dense. So my understanding is they come from Kuryakyn in chrome and then you powder coat as shown in this photo for $103.99
and if I wanted just chrome it would be $64.99 or just black$103.99

btw I am gonna get the one in the picture below.


and the bracket for $169.95

The chrome Iso wings are $103.99. To have us dis-assemble and powder coat them is an additional $39. So the black ones will cost you $142.99.

[Mad Matt]

Did U want the brown boot by itself, or with the wife in it???

Wait....I am not sure you should answer that...let me take a few shots of vodka first, then you can answer whatever and I will just laugh....OK ready!
