Highway peg setup

Hi guys, I've got the DK highway peg mounts which are awesome and very adjustable. Right now I've got them setup so that around town at 30mph they feel perfect, even up to 50 they are pretty good but over that they feel like I might be stretched a little and have a hard time keeping my feet on them.

Is that normal? I spend most of my riding time on the motorway (Freeway) above 70mph so I'm thinking about bringing them closer too me.

One slight wrinkle is that my right hand side peg is drooping a little, so I'm not sure if that is making it feel worse than it is (I'm broke though so no new pegs soon).

Not normal.
Shorten them up.

You should be comfortable on the pegs at all speeds.

Cool, thanks for that. Have moved them up one hole, will test them out tomorrow on my commute.

Still didn't feel great above 70mph. If I put my ankles on the top of the pegs that was good but I feel like my feet are slipping down with my soles on the peg. I think I need a grippier peg maybe.
