Same dimensions with the same answer here on my Dyna, using Joker Machine Serrated Heel footpegs. On my EG I just opted for no highway pegs as I find the floorboards themselves allow me enough room to move around on.

I have these, I'm 5'4" and they are great.
Am I reading this correct, do they fold up out of the way when you don't want to use them? I like that idea, if so. I just can't stand the look of the engine guard pegs, especially on my chopped guard.

Thanks

The guy who owned the CVO Limited I bought from was fairly short, and he had the stock Highway pegs mounted high on the crash bars. When I rode it after buying it, my knees were up around the top of the tank, as I’m relatively tall (6’2”). I dropped them down to the bottom of the crash bar and can now stretch my legs out fully.

I was surprised how much difference the adjustment provided.

love the look of these. They look great on your bike I just can't swallow the $250 price tag.

Both of my bikes have Cyclesmiths XL Banana Boards which make highway pegs a non issue. I do have angled peg mounts on both bikes but had I put the BB's on first I would not have either bike with highway pegs. Here is a picture for reference.

I just put Highway pegs on my 2014 Ultra Limited. After a long ride yesterday, I changed the position of them today. I'll see how I like it tomorrow. Like someone said here: Trial and error. And $$$
For me the floorboards are fine. The pegs are just so I can position my legs differently once in a while on a long ride.
