"Adjustable" 360 Highway Pegs on Heritage
Here are photos of my highway pegs and "adjustable" 360 degree mounting kit. What they don't tell you up front is that they're adjustable, so long as you don't mind turning a wrench each time you need to make an adjustment. I can't slip my foot down there, or grab it with my hand and make a quick motion to change. It requires tools.
Installation was a biotch!!! For something as simple as this (so I thought), it took a while to push the peg in and hold the "D" shaped ring in place. Didn't "just slide into place" as the instructions imply. Took some muscle and coersion.

Dude, Im with you on that. I bet it took me 2 hrs to install the engine guard and hwy pegs. i didnt get the 360 adjust, just the 180. But I did have the same problem getting the D ring to line up with the peg and the hole in the bracket. That is one tight fit. When you pound on the peg to get it in, the D ring moves ever so slightly. Then you cant get the damn bolt in. I like to think Im not an idiot, and it took a dozen tries each side to get things lined up properly. Im thinking that there is no reason for it to be that frign tight. Just sayin

dont even get me started on the baggertail mounts that Im attempting to install...took me 2 hours to get the stripped chrome allenhead bolt out of the forward detachable luggage rack. Now I need a chrome mushroom headed allen bolt that comes with the $100 luggage rack hardware kit only. But I guess if it were cheap and easy, everyone would ride a Harley huh?

I went without the crash bar and put on the markIV pegs. Not a bad install, but I ended up having to buy a few extra parts to get my feet where I wanted them. Like the look of your setup, I just never was much for the crash bars myself... Oh, can't help but notice you forgot to take the reflectors off your forks while you were down there... lol

Nice setup, I have the exact same foot controls on my 08 Fatboy. I just added the 360's and although installaion was a breeze, I'm having a heck of a time figuring out where to set them. I am 5'7 and just cant seem to find that sweet spot on location, angle, pitch... etc! Checked out the album your pics came from and noticed in a couple of the pictures, you have swung the arms back towards the floorboards quite a bit and changed the peg angle. I like the way that looks. Going to try that next.
Not sure what this issue about the "D" ring is, I aligned mine with a ice pick before I inserted the bolt and it worked fine.

With their current placement, I can place my heels on the footboard and toes on the highway pegs, I can place my feet on the pegs as they were meant to be used or I can place the back of my ankles on them to stretch my legs out straight. That's the extent of my "adjustments".
