Do heel stirrups make a big difference on footpegs?

I just got through putting mine on (FXDF). I went with HD's heel rest support and Kuryakyn longhorn pegs all around. I haven't even driven it because it's raining right now but I can tell this will be the best mod ever. I sat on the bob put my feet on the pegs and could balance the bike straight up. the longhorns really help to clear the AC cover with you knees. I don't think I'll have any issues with clearance because I ride my HD like an HD and not a sport bike.
go for it for sure!

I put them on my v-rod and it was a huge difference, one of the best improvements I made.
I haven't bought them for my Fat Bob yet. I just ordered the forward control extensions from Kury. I want to get those on first, then I'll order the stirup pegs.
Also thought about a Kury product called "peg mounted cruise mounts, click below to see and there are a few different views of them to see on the site.

I'm 6'6" tall and want to be able to stretch out as much as I can.

Gotta agree with the guys here...heel rests=comfy
Installed the Kury switchblades with the intention of retracting the heelrests every once in awhile, but they are so comfortable, I just keep the heelrests open all the time.
Almost feels like I've got floorboards on...
Install 'em, you will not regret 'em

They do feel like floorboards on an angle. Plus you have a lot more positions for your legs on the long rides. I modded my bike for comfort first and the heelrests kick ***. I rcommend using them with long footpegs. I am using the airfoil Xlarge.

Makes a huge difference. I'm fairly short so I put the rest relatively horizontal. Feels like a floorboard.
I wanted to try some out without spending a fortune and picked up a set from jcwhitney for $35. They look just like kury ones pictured above!
