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.

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