Highway Peg Kit
Hubby and I just installed the highway peg kit from HD today. We didn't buy them from HD of course, found them online much cheaper.
It was extremely simple. We didn't have any issues with threading them in or anything. I did much of the work and hubby tightened everything up for me.

Yes it sure does. Anything I think I can do, I will do myself. LOL I installed them on my bike and his. 
) I love doing it though, so rewarding. The only thing now is changing the pegs, the ones I have on are too small and not long enough because I am only 5'1" and need to reach my leg around the breather. LOL

I hope you used some blue loctite on the hardware. I think if you search you may find some offset mounts that would bring the pegs back to you. Not sure, but in my search of items I thought I may have ran across something like that. Good job! (now, I am looking to replace the mufflers on my bike - are you available and up to the job?)

If I was closer, I would help you with your exhaust. LOL
Yes, the mounts are in the full back position. I tried the closer one but it didn't feel much different of a stretch. I'll know more how it will feel once I get out to ride it and try them out. We've had rain here so can't take it out.

I have the same problem getting around my breather, I'm 5'7" and on a wide glide. I recently got some kurayken peg extenders to help me out. I've considered a highway bar, but I think these would might work too. Keep us posted. Glad to see another woman who likes to do the work herself. Some of me and my husband's best moments are figuring out how to put a new part on our rides.

i have the adjustable highway pegs on my dyna same as you they worked better for me than the non adjustable ones. On my softail i had to bent my leg to get around the carb so i got longer pegs , made a world of difference for me Harley makes them or you can get aftermarket ones from j&p or other vendors
