That's actually a really good idea and I had not thought about that.

I'm 6ft flat. The only problem I have with this setup is my right calf presses against the front of the brake pedal. But I may being swapping that out so we'll see. What type of highway pegs are you using now?

I really like the forward pegs....I can shift/brake with my feet on the mid pegs and shift/brake on the forward pegs with my heels. I like my options!

These gross oversized chrome ones the previous owner put on. I guess the position of them isn't as big an issue as I thought. I just think they're an eye sore because they're so beefy and chrome.

Cut 'em down, drill a new hole and paint them black? Worth a shot if they bother you that much. Kind of wish I had done that with my dk's now. Thought never even occurred to me.

I'll just get new ones and sell these. No need to hack them up just to end up buying new ones if I can get 50-75$ for them.

Hey man, I'm sorry I'm just seeing this. I'll get the part numbers to you. Or if you can wait a month or so I can sell you my set up. Save you some coin. I just ordered the low rider peg mounts and don't think this set up will work with them. The top part of my heal already comes close to resting on the brake pedal. Moving it 3 inches forward with the LR mounts, I don't think its going to work for me any more.
