I used to run them. Seemed I always had problems with my peg mounts getting loose. I thought maybe it was from the leverage of my feet on the heel rests. So, I dumped them and went with wider pegs instead (Kuryakyn Widows). Not telling you what to do but I have yet to have another loose peg mount since.

My forward controls did not drag on the ground until I added the heel rests. The heel rest pegs drag and I have to replace them every year.

I usually ride with my mid pegs in the 'up' position and only use them for long distance rides. I just purchased a pair of Kuryakin SwingWing pegs and will replace my mid pegs this winter. Between the forward controls and the SwingWings, I will have about 7 different foot positions available.

I like lots of foot positions also for a long haul. Got a mustache bar,heel rests and mid-pegs.

Swapped the heel rests side for side and don't scrape but occasionally.You might try this to see if it helps.

Good Luck

I put this on to see if a heel rest would work for me and never took it off.

If you are dragging them often, then you probably have them angled down too much.

I run mine more level...so they act more like a footrest.

I occasionally do drag but only if I'm really leaning into a sharp curve
