I'm looking for a different set of footpegs and heel rests. I've got a few hundred miles on my new FB and I love most of the bike, but my right foot is getting pushed off the peg at 45mph and above. Plus it's just not comfortable to me. The left peg is great other than I'd like a heel rest. I know the stock air cleaner is part of my issue, pushing my leg out more. I hope once I install my new intake it will help a bit. However, I'd still like heel rests.
Now Im not looking for huge pegs and I like how the joker machine adjustable serrated pegs and heelrest look. I was wonder if anyone has them? Any issues? Is the heelrest big enough? Also any other suggestions? Pictures would be appreciated.
I've got the Joker Machine serrated foot pegs without the heel rests, and I am very happy wtih them. The serrations really grab the bottom of your boot and hold your foot in place, which in turn allows you to relax it a bit. In other words, you not have to fight to keep your foot inplace. I can only imagine that having a heel rest would improve upon this feeling of security.
I haven't had the JM's but just some info: I had the Kuryakyn SwingWings (crap) for some time and couldn't decide what pegs/boards I wanted. I definitely wanted something for my heel to rest on, and finally decided to get some cheapie floorboards to test until I could make up my mind. I got a pair of floorboards from J&P Cycles for ~$50. So far they're actually not that bad and my feet are so much more comfortable!
They may not look the best right now, but as soon as I plant my feet on them, no complaints! haha
I have the JM healrest pegs on my FatBob and love them. I tilted mine back some to get the angle really comfortable. The grip is awesome and I'd definitely recommend them. They are just big enough to be able to plant your boot down nicely but don't have the looks and scraping of a floorboard by any means.
I also got the JM brakepedal which corrects the shitty stock pad angle and is a little safer and grippier. A little pricey but there's not rubber so it's not like anything is going to wear out anytime soon.
I use the DK Customs serated bike pedal style of peg, they rotate with your foot so are incredibly comfortable (rotation can also be fixed), on my last bike which had forwards I used matching heel rests from them and really liked the set up. Now that I have mids I still use the pegs but not the rests I'll put them on when I get highway pegs. The DK stuff is really nice and reasonably priced.

Not the best pic but you get the idea
Thanks that's what I wanted some real pic not one blown up on thier site. I'm goin to order a set. I'm sure board are more comfortable but I just don't like that look on any dyna.
I just picked up a 2015 Street Bob last week. I am coming off a 2011 Road Glide. I have had floorboards on bikes for the last 15 years, the forwards are going to take some getting used to.
I'm also interested in the JM Heel Pegs. Dusty did the brake pedal make it easier to apply brake? I'm having a hard time getting my foot on the stock pedal.
Well I have the pegs installed and rode about 150 miles today. Their ok for grip with my normal work boots I wear but not as good as rubber grip. So I decided to use my nicer goin out boots(alls I wear is boots) and wow it's night and day! My feet no longer fight the wind and I can relax so much better! Really like the look. Some of my buddies think it's a dirt bike look but they all have boards and on a full dresser. To me boards on a fb look crappy. Imo. I had to slice the brake pad to remove but the new pedal is way nicer! So much better grip and angle. I hate how the chrome shows threw the black cover so im getting the brake lever powder coated but a nice upgrade. Also added their shift peg. I like the look and feel a lot. Pricey but worth it.
I did tilt these back far so my toes point up more but with the weight of your leg it's surprising comfortable. Now one thing I hate or didn't like was the set screws and star screw in the side. Very hard to lock tight and I stripped to set screws. I put nicer ones in from the hardware store cost me $3.
