Product Review: Kuryakyn 4" Adjustable Peg Offsets

Anyone who has ridden on the back of a VRSC for a long ride will agree, the stock foot peg location is uncomfortable. I have debated a few different options from making a full custom hanger to replace the existing mount, to looking at what other companies provide. I liked the way the Kuryakyn Offsets looked so I thought I would give that a try.

I looked around on the Internet for the best price and found BKRider. http://www.bkrider.com/bkrider/index.asp

The price of $65 plus shipping didn't seem too bad. I would give the price a 8 out of 10.

The package came about a week later. The box was a UPS 18" x 13" x 3". It arrived a bit beat up. Almost standard for UPS handling.

The only protective packaging was a piece of brown paper.

The packaging was very poor. The parts come inside a plastic cover stapled onto a cardboard back plate. Some staples had popped out from the rough handling and poor packing and parts had been floating around in the box. I give the packaging a 4 out of 10.

I took a picture of the parts after I put them back in the Kuryakyn package.

This comes with instructions but I doubt you would need them. The instructions are easy to follow and have nice pictures to show how they mount, the parts and how not to adjust the offsets. It does cover the limited warranty in the instructions. I give the instructions a 8 out of 10.


10 parts make up the Kuryakyn offsets including chrome hot spots to cover the bolt heads and anti-seize compound. The main parts are a cast metal that have been chromed and polished. These parts are of a good quality. The bolts and spring washer are made of stainless steel. I will say that the spring washer is very thin and weak. If you have an extra set of foot peg springs, you may want to use those instead. For the quality of parts I give it a 8 out of 10. I would have given a 9 if the spring washer was more effective.

I mounted these on my bike easily. They bolt onto the original foot peg mount. Both ends of the offsets rotate and have splines between the moving parts so that when you tighten the bolts, they will not rotate. Once you have the position you want, you can mount the pegs and install the chrome hot spots on the bolt heads. For the ease of installation and the many positions you can move these into I give a 9 out of 10.

For the value of the product, price vs. quality, I think you get a nice part. I did not find any other parts that were as versatile as these for the price. The value I give a 9 out of 10.

That gives a grand total of 7.67%. The packaging from BKRider really brought this rating down.

Here are a few more pictures.

The Kuryakyn offsets are very nice and my fiance loves the the new location of the foot pegs. Personally I was not happy with the way these looked on my bike. If the bike had saddle bags on it, I think I would not mind how far they sick out from the bike. I will use them for my rider until I can make some custom relocaters that hug the bike a bit more.
