Highway pegs - short guy problems
Hey guys, just got back from bike trip to Laconia and had a blast. With the 8+ hour ride there I really wished I had a better option for my highway pegs.
I have a 2014 Limited and I replaced the stock seat with one off a street glide - for looks and because it sits me lower and makes it easier to flat foot.
I have 2 Wide highway pegs but the only way I can rest my whole foot on them it to have my legs locked out. Not as comfortable as I would like so most of the time I keep my heel on the floorboard while the ball of my foot sits on the peg.
Still not as confortable as I would like. Wouldnt be so bad but brake pedal is so wide that my right heel can barely sit on the floorboard and reach the peg.
Im only 5.8 with a 32" inseam. Anyone else have these issues or know of a different highway peg setup that would work for me? The ones I currently have are attached to the crash bars on the lowers.
Thank you.

I use the Kuryakyn that have multiple adjustments to bring them back to me, instead of just straight off the bar.
I ride most of the time with my heel on footboards, toes on hwy pegs. But when I want to cruise with full foot on peg, it is reachable...

[QUOTE=RagmanZL;19997588]Thanks everyone - anyone ever install a smaller brake pedal peg?
I know a smaller one would help me a little as well.[/QUO
Is the brake pedal the oem one?
Most want a bigger pedal___ Measure yours and compare it to a oem one.
Did you buy the bike new ?

Not sure about your bike, but most bikes the pedal bolts to the actual brake arm underneath. The flat spot on the brake arm is smaller than the pedal, you can at least try it out for free to see if the smaller pedal really helps.
