Anyone have these?

Just wondering if anyone has gotten Marvellas passenger pegs for the Voyager? Thinking about getting these for the wife and just wanted some opinions if anyone has them on their ride. Thanks for any help

Just wondering why you would want to go to pegs vice floorboards? I for one will never go back to pegs again.

I believe he is leaving the floorboards on just adding the pegs so his wife will be able to change her foot position to relieve some of the stress of having her foot in the same position for long rides.
But in my opinion they are ugly as hell

I have had them on my last three bikes, nomad and 2 voyagers, my wife loves them and that's where her feet stay when riding. Your passenger will have to get use to moving her feet to the floorboards when stopping as they get in your way whilst stopping. I remove mine if on a solo trip because its awkward to walk the bike forward with them on. Excellent quality and got good service from the Marvellas.

I agree with Tim about them being ugly but for those that aren't lucky enough to have their wife's ride their own bikes it's a nice feature for them to be able to stretch or change their leg position on long rides

Yes I am definitely leaving the floorboards. Instead of having someone fabricate a bracket to move the floorboards up, I thought these would be easier. Plus she'd have the option of different foot positions obviously. She's only 5' so on longer rides her legs tend to fall asleep where they're almost dangling the whole time

I found a solo seat removed my wife's issues.

Have them on our Voyager. Wife said they were very comfortable. They're highway pegs and they work as designed. The picture doesn't do them justice. They're Kuryakyn pegs and they look just fine.

You might want to take a look at the Kuryakyn adjustable passenger pegs, I found them on Canada's Motorcycle.ca but I'm sure they would sell them up in your area [probably cheaper too]

Do they bolt on easy and are they sturdy? Thanks.

Installed these on my 2012 voyager and my wife loves them. Most of the time she uses the floorboards but on long distance rides she'll use her Hwy pegs like I use mine. She's kicked back like a real biker b%#*ch.
When installing use a stainless flat and lock washer under the bolts and they are easier to install right up to the end of the floorboard mount. This gives clearance for your socket or open end wrench on the bolt head.

Marvellas Passengar pegs

Bought these from someone on the site and the wife loves them for rides over 2 hrs, she can stretch out a bit and this avoids us from stopping so she can stretch!
