Default My fxbb needs Highway pegs.....

Dk sells conventional adjustable highway pegs, but a crash bar would get the job done plus provide the “crash” benefit. If anybody has done either, can you provide opinion and/or pics?

I've got a mustache engine guard on my Dyna. Like the looks but the foot pads on top are very high and wide. It's great to stretch your legs, but I can't ride like that for more than a minute or two, In a sense,a traditional engine guard with those clamp on foot pegs positioned lower might make more sense.

What I'm really thinking of is just installing a set of pegs using the footpeg mounting points for the forward controls, just without the controls. This is a natural place for your feet and let's change positions for better long range riding. Plus any style of engine guard for forward controls works with it.

Indeed, I agree.
Worth looking in to.

Ols post but did you go ahead with the highways? And if you did were they compatible with your leg length.

I have been debating on going with the DK custom highway pegs. Still would like to hear a review from someone with an m8 softail?

So I bought the DK customs highway peg mounts for my 21 FXLRS a couple weeks ago,combined with FLO motorsports MX style pegs Im a happy camper....
They are well built, highly adjustable and fit the 2018+ Softtail frame perfectly. Im 5'7" and found a very comfortable position. My only real complaint is that I can feel some flex in the plate that connects the foot peg to the frame mount.... At first I thought it was a loose fastener
but the plate itself is flexing. After about a thousand miles the flexing doesn't bug me.
I can post pics later today if anybody wants to see.
