Was looking at the Ktm 1290, but was unsure because I'm 6"4 and my knees have a little arthritis, and didn't want them to be bent for to long, found your video on these highway pegs, and that should be enough to ease them. Cool.
Great reference. I ordered cheep pegs from Revzilla that I could not make work on my SW-Motech crash bars. Revzilla took care of that and what you installed is on order ... in all black.
Just put these on. I looked at a ton of different types, but I think you made the right choice for this bike. I liked the quality of the pegs. But the price was just a bit more then I think they should be, but hey, everything on a motorcycle is expensive. Thanks for the review. (Tell revzilla you need a kickback)
Great informative vid Mario, altho I'd like to try the pegs, we don't cover nowhere near the same milage as you do, for trips I just lower the standard pegs by turning the offset bracket upside down, but for the milage your gonna cover I hope they work out for you pal, keep up the good work 👍
Thanks. I think they turned out looking pretty good too. I was concerned the silver/chrome would look to "cruiser-ish" but really don't mind the look of the brackets.
I have bought these but I live in England, not only did I pay for postage at $45 I also got stung for import vat at £45 off UPS so U.K buyers beware that’s almost $108 postage. I hope they will be worth it...
That's a helluva lot for postage! I hope you find them worth it. I can tell you my trip to California and to Alaska wouldn't have been near as enjoyable without them.
Do you have ktm's comfort seat? I have the stock, a full seat concepts seat, and the comfort power part seat. Get the comfort seat if you don't already have it. So nice. I think I'll be adding hwy pegs to my SA too some day soon. Thanks for the install vid
Obviously depends on your weight and weight of your pillion. The max weight, including the weight of the bike is 460 kg (1,014 lb). Assuming weight with fuel is about 254 kg, you can safely add 206kg to the bike.
I'm sorry but the highway pegs on this ktm actually look too high up as for placing you're leg over them they would dig into the back of you're knee and in a matter of minutes you would go back to putting you're feet back on the foot pegs definitely a flaw here
Unless you’re super tall, I have no idea how the peg would dig into the back of your knee. I’ve been using them for 25k+ miles, including a 19 day 505 mile per day trip to Alaska and back and wouldn’t want to go on a long ride without them.
Mark, not a full review but I did speak about them in the debrief video I did about how the KTM functioned on the cross country trip ruclips.net/video/EmglCbWk4hs/видео.html
2 Wheeled Rider thanks. The crash bars are a little different in design and didn’t know if what you were using would fit the 1090’s bars like they fit your 1290’s. I’d prefer them on the vertical space like you but didn’t know if it was even an option (and the title only mentions for 1290/1190). If you find out otherwise I’d love to know. Keep up the great work, buddy.

WTF didnt know that exist, i need that shit hard as f. ! Greetings from Switzerland!
They're great to have

Craig, I agree. Highway pegs are WAY more expensive than they should be.
Excellent Back in the garage video! That's nice having 3 different leg positions. Be safe Mario!
Thanks Gus!

Nearly 3,000 miles in the last 5 days and I couldn't be happier with them.
Use something line this on my 1190. Riding 1000km in one day to Switserland is no problem
Yep! Highway pegs make a world of difference when you're covering distance.
Nice thorough video. And not for nuthin', but I like the silver/black combo. Looks good!
Thanks. I think they turned out looking pretty good too. I was concerned the silver/chrome would look to "cruiser-ish" but really don't mind the look of the brackets.
Pretty soon...It'll B the Mac Daddy!
Is that just one peg on one side or two pegs on both sides?
one peg per side
Hey Mario, how did these pegs workout? Thinking of getting me a set. Thank you.
Love em
Nice! Thanks for the reply. Ride safe.

2 Wheeled Rider I hope they are worth it as well. Great video’s that you do I have enjoyed every one I have watched so far...keep them coming.
What kind of crash bars are those ? Nice video
Just the factory crash bars that came on the bike.
Do you have ktm's comfort seat? I have the stock, a full seat concepts seat, and the comfort power part seat.
Get the comfort seat if you don't already have it. So nice.
I think I'll be adding hwy pegs to my SA too some day soon.
Thanks for the install vid
Nope. Just have a sheepskin over my stock. No complaints in over 30,000 miles.
Mario, How much extra weight can I carry on my ktm 1290 super adventure with 10kg in each pannier and with a pillion?
Obviously depends on your weight and weight of your pillion. The max weight, including the weight of the bike is 460 kg (1,014 lb). Assuming weight with fuel is about 254 kg, you can safely add 206kg to the bike.
This will shift the riders weight from the pelvis to the coccyx which on a long trip will cause butt pain.
It's not meant to stay in that position all day; only to switch is up.

Mario, did you ever do a full review on these highway pegs? Looking forward to hearing about how well they held up on your coast-to-coast trip.
Mark, not a full review but I did speak about them in the debrief video I did about how the KTM functioned on the cross country trip ruclips.net/video/EmglCbWk4hs/видео.html
Thanks, haven't gotten to that one yet. Ride safe!
any idea what model number these are there are so many on Revzilla site
Of course...they're linked in the description of the video.
Does anyone know where I can find highway pegs for a 2017 KTM 1090 Adventure R? Would greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks much.
They’re linked in the description.

MFW Footpeg Mounts For Crashbars are out of stock :-(
It happens. Took me awhile to get mine.
What can't electrical tape do?
Is this what they call a rhetorical question?
