Nope, it was definitely just loosened hardware. The rest of the peg is still in good shape. Never really looked at it. Just put 'em on and figured good to go. Guess they should be looked over every now and again as I normally do the rest of the bike. I would recommend checking them. Maybe take the hardware off and loctite it. If I do get a new peg from them that will be the first thing I do when I get them back on the bike. If I don't get e new peg from them I will hold onto the right peg just incase anybody around here needs one. If that is the case I will definitely start thinking of doing highway pegs the way I would like to see them.
