Long Term Comfort
I'm about to go for a 2,000 mile ride from Utah to Laguna Seca, California and wanted to know what everybody liked the most as far as highway bars/pegs.
I'd like to stay away from highway bars if possible but didn't know what everyone thought about the pegs with stirrups, cruise pegs off the frame etc.
I did about 1,000 mile trip earlier this year to the Laughlin River Run and I'm with just pegs and really want to know if anybody knows of a good battle tested setup for a 2004 FXD. I've looked online and really haven't found anything that's sold me.
Thanks guys/gals, ride on.

I recently did a very similar ride from Utah to CA, then up to Seattle and back. I did it very comfortably with my RSD seat and Rifle fairing. Honestly though to me, the best comfort feature on the trip was just having a different place to put my feet. I have forward controls normally but, I had also mounted some mid pegs as well. My feet were on the mids for a good chunk of the ride. I'd recommend those hands down before anything else.
Have a great trip man!

very happy with the small isopegs w/ stirrups on as mids. the only complaint i have is i need to put a small guard to keep my heel from hitting the exhaust ( big feet). otherwise they're awesome. i probably wouldnt use them on forward controls for clearance issues. as for highway mounts it would depend on where they were mounted.
i have the large iso pegs on harley's highway peg mounts. i think they need to be spaced a little farther apart and im thinking of replacing the large pegs with mini boards or some beartraps. just something to spread the pressure out.

Heel rests that mount right off your existing pegs.

I have only had my FXD for a few months now. I have mid controls and highway pegs. I just mounted up some 14" apes. And while I enjoy cruising with my legs stretched out on the highway pegs, I feel much more in control and stable with the mid controls.
I do occasionally just shift with the rear of my foot while on the highway pegs.
I aslo have a background in Motocross and I'm only 6'0, so that may have something to do with it.
