I'm sure some people love them though.

2 seconds after I posted that, I got a message from them

Thanks for your message.
We have received quite a few inquiries for Pivot Pegz to suit the Pan America and I'm happy to say they are under development. We don't list the Pan America Pivot Pegz on our website yet but our Production Manager said that we can build a custom set of Pivot Pegz for your bike in around 4 weeks time as we are currently in the final stages of finalizing the fitment design for the new HD Pan America and should be ready for release in about 4 weeks.
The Pan America won't be listed on our website for around 6-8 weeks but you can order them via a Custom Order and we can ship them to you earlier before they get listed on our website.
We don't change anything for the custom order, you only pay the standard price as listed on our website on the link below but it means you will get onto the early pre-order list and get the Pivot Pegz before they are listed on the website.
If you would like to order a Custom Set of Pivot Pegz for your bike you can click the link below to place your order and as soon as they are ready we will ship them to you. (around 4 weeks time)
Here is the link: https://pivotpegz.com/products/custo...f-pivot-pegz-1
When you place your order please write the Make, Model & Year of your bike in the Notes section at the bottom of Cart section on our website.
Once we ship your Pivot Pegz and we’ll send you the UPS tracking number.
You can place your order now or you can wait a few weeks, its totally up to you.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
​​​​​​​I ordered a set

Sounds good, hope you enjoy them. I never tried them, was just sharing feedback I received from a friend who rides a lot.

This guy goes through bikes and accessories like I go through toilet paper though, so there's that I suppose.


I currently run Black Dog pegs and love them... But may try the Raptor Titanium pegs at some point, or on my next bike.


My primary goal is something that won't allow my boot to ever slip, and that pivot thing would concern me. I can see the value in them for touring though.

It's good to see aftermarket vendors working on the PA parts, I can assure you they're typically better in every way than what you'll see offered by the bike manufactures.

I get mine in a few days. What does inside out do for you ? My deal is I spent the last 10 years riding Harleys with a rider back rest, made all the difference in the world to my back on rides more than a couple of hours long.
All day trips with buddies on sport bikes, we would all climb off at the end of the day at a motel and I was the only one not creaking and growing. Tells you how old all of my group is.
So the seating position on the Pan America is new to me, I am hoping the more straightened up I can get will keep my back and shoulders happy . That was what really attracted me to the Rox Risers, how they can quickly be adjusted.
I do not see myself standing up on the pegs on dirt tracks very much, most likely on my butt on gravel roads at a stately speed is more me.

Okay, how to I adjust my shift lever ? I wear a size 10 Forma boot and if I can get a little more room for up shifts that will help

There's an adjuster rod under the shifter, loosen the nut and turn in or out to move the shifter up or down. If you need more adjustment, you can take the shifter off the shaft and rotate clockwise or counter clockwise to it you. fine tune with the adjuster rod.

Purely aesthetics. Will cover the bars in same location as stock risers so there won't be any scuffs as you see in the pics. However......I may not put them on because the stock seat has a slight slope from rear to front. I don't know if I'd be as comfortable sitting further upright, due to a 30 year old back injury. Like I said, I'm getting used to the slight lean forward with the bars where they are.

They're great. Larger surface area to keep your boot locked in and comfortable, the pivot makes it easy to shift. Takes a little getting used to when you stand, but that's about a 10-minute learning curve.

I rode various bikes nearly 100,000 miles with them, both on and off road, and swear by them.

My Klim boots have great arch support, those pegs look nice, but I don't really need a wider peg, I would just like to have a little bit longer peg

Because these boots are industrial strength and large, there is not allot of room to get my toe under the Pan Am shift lever to up shift.
I am worried that the 80 grit pegs being wider, might make the space between the shift peg and the foot rest even smaller. None at the local Dealer to take a look at and the photos I have seen only show them out of the box on display, none mounted on a bike.

I will check this afternoon if they still have a stock bike if it changes the space between peg and shifter.
With the 80 grit foot peg and 80 grit shifter peg you loos 3/4 inch between the two compared to stock.
