Great video. Im considering same ones. The other major brands have offerings but i didnt like the bracket mounts or permanent cover removal. Im cant find a picture of what they look like flipped up in the stowaway position.
The Rivco pegs? I like them, they are really good looking pegs. My only issue with them was having to take them off to change the spark plugs. Still great a great product but I decided to go with the Goldstrike instead. Thanks for watching!
Man, I wish the test ride Bike I tested had these on it...Well, on second thought, I likely wouldn't have given it back! Great video speaking candidly about what works and what doesn't. I hope goldstrike is watching your video and making improvements! You just basically saved them a ton of money by providing real client feedback(which typically cost a ton). Keep it up bro! :)
Thanks man! Yeah, I tagged them in the Instagram post… you never know. But the product is great. Makes it easier to ride longer distances and be comfortable. Maybe they’ll hook me up! Thanks for watching buddy. I appreciate it.
I agree about their written instructions. I’m sure I got all the bolts in the right place, but had washers left over. I used medium locktight on everything, so I should be okay. They do have a video for the highway peg installation that was very helpful, but even it could be a little more detailed. One note… it looks to me like you have your pegs canted forward. They should be canted toward the rider to better match the angle of your foot as you’re riding. The bracket they’re attached to is slanted and should slant toward you. I think all you need to do is swap the left bracket for the right. Not sure what they’re called for sure. I can’t put my hand on the instructions right now.
I rotated the pegs towards me so it seems to be fine. I’m fairly certain the arms are in the correct position… I also used lecture after the fact. And the instructions are horrendous but I really like the feel of these pegs. Thanks for watching and for the info.
@@BigSmittyRiding; I’ve installed several Goldstrike accessories. Most recently the rider highway pegs, passenger comfort pegs, passenger armrests, among others that I installed earlier in the year. I’ll have to wait until spring to adjust the pegs to where they feel best for those long rides. All the Goldstrike products seem well engineered and high quality. Everything I’ve installed so far has been pretty easy, in spite of their poor instructions. I have the same black grips as you, but they’ll have to wait until spring and warm temperatures as well, so the adhesives will cure properly. My bike is pretty well as I want it now, thanks to Goldstrike. Enjoy the ride, Smitty.
It took me a while to get it right. My best advice is to put the washer in and make sure the flat part is on the inside and just slowly work the pin through. I used a small dab of lubricant to help me. Best of luck. Thanks
I'm coming off a Victory XC and picking up an 18 Goldwing Tour today. The bike is pretty well setup by the previous owner but I know I'm going to need some "highway pegs". I'm checking out what's available, thanks for the video and instructions.
@@BigSmittyRiding I had the Vic for 10years and 78k miles... I picked up the Wing today and put on about 150 miles, I'm blown away but this bike, never rode anything like it. I definitely need some highway pegs.
Thank you bro really great video and easy to understand I'm conceived between the Riveco Aero pegs and Goldstrike highway pegs, Which should be more comfortable and look good , l need your advice please Thank u
I think they are both extremely comfortable. But I have zero experience with the Rivco pegs. I actually think the Rivco pegs look better. My only reason for going with the Goldstrike was I didn’t like having to take the Rivco pegs off to change out the spark plugs. It was really that simple. I almost bought the Rivco instead. I think the Goldstrike pegs are more adjustable for rider comfort but the Rivco look better and are hidden much better. Sorry, probably didn’t help you… But I will tell you Goldstrike makes great products and I’m very happy with how they function. Hope that helps. And thank you very much for watching!
Hey Sultan. I had the Rivco pegs on my F6b. Nice pegs for that bike with a pretty stealth installation. The installation on the ‘18+ wings looks a little clunky. I just installed a set of the Goldstrike pegs on my 2021 tour. Pretty easy to install and they look great even when flipped up. It’s winter here now, so I won’t get to try them until spring. They say 3 way adjustable, but there are so many variations in the adjustments that if you can’t find one that suits you, then the pegs are not the problem. The Rivco pegs are only adjustable, forward and back. That’s it. So if I were you, I’d go Goldstrike.
It looks like you mounted the peg to the peg mount wrong. At 7:09 the peg is angled forward. This is because you didn't mount the peg mount angling back which it tells you to do in step 9 of instructions. Just turn it around
I appreciate that. But it’s staying the way it is. Those instructions are terrible. They are working great this way and I’m way to lazy to change them now. Thanks for watching!
They really are great highway pegs. Yeah, the instructions on most things suck! Hopefully this video helps anyone who puts them in. Thanks for watching!
Very nice. They look great! Sucks about the instructions. A company goes through all it does to make a great product then flops on the instructions. Hate it when that happens. Ride safe! 🤘🏻
Thanks for watching buddy! Yeah, it’s a great product and very functional. But those instructions are a hot mess. Hopefully they’ll get better and match the quality of the pegs.
It was ridiculous! Just say this bolt goes here and this bolt goes there! Or even better don’t throw all the bolts in one pack, where they all look the same, so that you can tell them apart! Thank you very much for watching. They really are a good product.
If you would have just bought a Harley you could have watched how to videos that are 2014 or newer and would have been identical install as your last 9 bikes 🥴
Great video. Im considering same ones. The other major brands have offerings but i didnt like the bracket mounts or permanent cover removal. Im cant find a picture of what they look like flipped up in the stowaway position.
They work really well. So far I’m very pleased with them. I’ll take a pic of them in the up position and post it when I can.
@@BigSmittyRiding thanks. I'll get your number from Ted so we can all ride together when things align.
Hell yeah! That sounds great!
All videos for how tos should be done in this manner!!!! Hahaah. Love it man.
Thanks Fett! I try to show how to fix things after I screw them up royally!
Did you see the stealth Highway pegs they have for the goldwing? They fold away and look like part of the frame.
The Rivco pegs? I like them, they are really good looking pegs. My only issue with them was having to take them off to change the spark plugs. Still great a great product but I decided to go with the Goldstrike instead. Thanks for watching!

@@BigSmittyRiding yea they are the ones
They are very nice! I almost bought those.
The Rivco's made my knees hurt and I actually had to make an effort to hug the tank. With the Goldstrikes, I just put my feet up and relaxed.
Oh, heck yes! I just installed those on my wing...love them both! Great additions! Thanks buddy! 😀😀
They are absolutely great products! The Highway pegs are crazy comfortable and the grips make a huge difference! Thanks for watching man!
Great video. Love the way those look on the Goldwing

Man I’m sorry. Their customer service is usually pretty good. Hopefully it works out for you.
@@BigSmittyRiding after many tries and several bangs with a hammer I FINALLY made it happen. Thanks for sticking with me.

Thank you so much for the detailed video
Thanks for watching and for the kind words!
@@BigSmittyRiding Any tips to align them both evenly on both sides!
Do I need lock-tight on these bolts!?
Man I just aligned them by eye and sat on it to be sure they were even. Yes, Blue Loctite is your friend!
Hahaha yes! More “How’s to” need to be like this, the truth about installing after market parts. Killer job my friend 👊🏼
Thanks Jay! Yeah, I screw up so badly most of the time I try to make sure no one else does… or at least make them laugh! Thanks for watching buddy.

These definitely did! Thank you, I love the look and feel of them.

Also, better use lock tight on all the bolts, they will back out.
I did. I should have saved d that in the video but I dabbed a little blue loctite on them just to be sure.
man o man....Just yet another reason to start adding miles to that hog 💪🏻
Hahaha! Thanks my friend!
Good stuff, always awesome when instructions are garbage!
It always sucks! I hate crappy instructions. Thanks for watching!
There aren’t enough pictures and entirely to many words in those instructions. Looks nice though.

You are absolutely correct, the directions are useless.. I pretty much used the picture on the box and a little common sense.
I agree. The problem is I lack common sense! But they should label the bolts better as to what goes where. Thanks for watching!
Big Smitty, you are spot on about those instructions, they suck!
I’m telling you! They are terrible! I was pissed trying to put these things together!
You just made my day easier watching your video. Thanks!
