Rich, there is no part number but this is basically what they look like:
Just look up Kury ISO stirrups. I saw an actual set of kury's at the swap meet for $125. There is no real difference between what I bought and what Kury has, except the price. I paid $40 for a pair of pegs with stirrups.

I'm not sure on the stability part but they were definitely more comfortable than those floorboards I had. I wasn't unstable with the floorboards but I did find myself constantly trying to relocate my feet. My leg/foot position has been an ongoing issue since day one. I sometimes wonder if a +3" ext wouldn't help on the forward controls. I don't have long legs, having a 32" inseam. I should install some highway pegs but can't stand how the highway bar looks. Kind of goofy in my book.
It seems every ride I go on is a long ride with me being so far away from any real civilization.

Unless you get something like the switch blade setup, no the stirrup will not fold up.

It was a great price. He even had a matching HD windshield with matching silver flames painted on it to match the tank. Wanted $350 for both pieces.
As far as the TT, Sounds like a plan as I lost my job recently so I have a little time to get some things done / installed. I'm looking forward to the 'riding on rails' feeling.

I've got the switchblades fromm kury and it does take alot of pressure off the calfs,and also lifts the heels and leg position. At higher speeds it feels like my feet want to fly off,also in more aggressive driveing I like folding them up and not scrapeing them!

I have also been undecided on what I want with the forward controls on my new wide glide. After about 500 miles of the stock pegs I installed the Harley Davidson pegs with stirrups. I have found these to be much better but still wonder how floor boards might be. I think these look much better than floor boards and for what they cost me I think I will stick with them. These are a part of the chrome and rubber collection so I think I will finish off with the grips,brake pad and shift lever.

I'm 6' with a 34" inseam. Last bike I put on the 2" extensions for the forwards, and they were not perfect.
Last summer I took my stock WG seat apart and cut 1.5" out of the back of the seat. THAT was the ticket for me.
Just got my BAR ENT seat tonight, with 1.5" removed, and wide passenger for my wife. Feels pretty comfy.
Another idea that you may want to look at for your girl is the 'pegrizers'. Well made and I think they look cool on mine, and my passenger likes them. She's not all that long-legged, but she rides with her feet on them most of the time now.
Just some $.02 stuff for ya.
