Surf Concours, I can't get it to open.
I have the Chinese pegs on my Connie front and rear.
Work fine.

NOTE: Wife wanted pegs with rubber for the back, so I bought the Chinese and modded them to fit.
           Pegs are for a Hyabusa.
           So, I bought matching for the front.

Ride safe, Ted

Maybe Mama Kaw misplaced a truckload of parts....

Hit any big auto flea market and you'll find that sort of thing happens all the time...

Accidental overruns at the chicom contract factory. Like those Icon Gloves without the insignia.  8)

Look closely at the Pegs.
They are the Chinese version of the Kawasaki Pegs.
Sold on Ebay for about $10.
The other pieces are copies of the Kawasaki parts.

Ted, do you think Ma Kaw's casting their own aluminum parts?

Not sure, but I know the pegs I ordered (that were made in China) were not the same quality as the Kawi Pegs.

NOTE, they did work fine on my bike.
           I installed both Rider and passenger pegs.

Explanation; Wife wanted her passenger pegs to have rubber inserts.
                   So, I obeyed...
                   The ones I bought (China for a Huyabusa) didn't match the pattern on my front pegs,
                        so I bought front (Huyabusa) pegs with a matching pattern.
