Nope. Still waiting for them to be "produced". I ordered mine 2 weeks ago. There was absolutely no indication that they didn't have them already in stock, and only responded with an ETA after I emailed them ***3*** times asking. They finally came back after a week and told me 2 weeks more. That means it should ship at the end of next week... I'm not holdling my breath.

Mine are on order too. Ditto what zerMATT said! I've installed Helibars and they help. I'm hoping with the peg mods, this will transform it into an all day ride!

They had no problem charging my credit card right away. What stinks is that their web site made it look like they were in stock, ready to ship. Instead they have not even been produced. I'm not impressed. I don't mind waiting, but I hate being deceived and paying up front for something that is not even available.

According to James at Corbin the initial set fit aftermarket exhaust systems,apperantly when they used there employess ZX they built the the adaptors for his aftermarket exhaust system- I do have one of there original kits as I was at there factory picking up my Corbin bags a few weeks ago when the powder coater dropped off a set. By the time I got home there was a message from James that the set he gave me would not work properly unless brake rod adjusted all the way out on a bike with factory exhaust. I talked to James on the 24th and he said new design was coming out of anodizing shop and would be ready for shipment soon- I do not know if this design works with all types of exhaust- What I do know is that all of the many products I have bought from them has always been first class and expect these to be worth the short wait.

Seems a little odd that they would use a '14 with an "altered" exhaust system as a mock-up for something like this, doesn't it?
Maybe I'll need a set of those "pre-pro" models for my D&D pipes... you still got those laying around? ____________

Huh? What do hard bags and stock cans have to do with Corbin's peg lowering kit? Just curious...

nookie - throw us a bone here... are you saying that you received a *Corbin Peg Lowering Kit* from Corbin?
If nothing else, it would be nice to know that they are shipping product now.

Ordered mine on 8/6, when did you order yours? They told me 2-3 weeks after I poked and prodded them for an answer... maybe 4 weeks will be closer to the truth. ____________

That's funny I left the post above. Then went down stairs and there it was a Corbin box lol. I guess you guys should get your any day this week. Let me open it before I get all happy lol.
There you go that will work. I'll pop them on in a little bit and come back with a pic or two. Unless someone posts one before my lazy ass gets out there lol.

Ummmmm I just went to install them and that's not going to happen lol. OK for me they are not the look that I want on my bike. Second they give you I think three choices in order to fit the right peg on. They say either adjust the brake pedal which seems insane to me by eyeing it up. Then they go on to say if that doesn't work then grind the back angle of the break pedal lol. Next third choice ding your pipe if you have a after market exhaust lmao. I'm 6'1" and was looking foward a little extra leg room. But oh well that's actually why I just recently started just slitting packages that I recieve and sliding the instructions out lol. I'm not cheap I don't like cheap people actually. But I keep geting burned by ordering crazy shit without thinking lol. But I guess that's how you end up with your bike being different from others. I got on the bike just now and at 6'1" my knees actually fit perfectly into the slots. Although I get a cramp now and then lol. I'm sure there are allot that will love them. And more advanced at changing something like that. I mean the brake pedal is not close to where they want it as far as I can see. It would hit my Muzzy so it seems at mock up. I have noticed one thing about this bike. It is the most sensitive motorcycle that I have ever had as far as changing factory parts with aftermarket parts meaning ones that effect the handling and factory design . Just something I have noticed. I know you can pop the foot brake and adjust it on the star pattern shaft. That's not what I meant. Like I said some of you guys will love them. I like the ergonomics (<< not sure of the spelling lol ) of the stock positioning. I know I am going to sound high but the bike almost seems to be close to perfect as far as my personal love with almost every thing about it. I am still waiting for that one guy to tell me when he got the Pilot Powers on. I needed to ask him something. As I had a small problem with them. Oh and I saw that one post about grammer ? Why don't you just install a spell check as a post option ? Ok enough another lesson learned for me.

Ordered mine on August 6 also. Still waiting! Sounds like from your post the right side will take some "engineering" to make work! Maybe thats why on the Corbin web site, they just show a LEFT side view! I AM NOT GOING TO BASH IN MY PIPE TO MAKE THEM FIT!!! Just have to wait and see.

I ordered mine on Aug. 4th. Still have not arrived. At 80.00 for a set they should not take any "engineering" to make right. It's begining to sound like these are a half baked idea that needs more refinement. I guess I'll know soon. Maybe I shouldn't have sold my Buell pegs.:P

It sounds like they should make more than one variant for these. Or at least let you know before purchase that there will be clearance problems with aftermarket pipes.
