blueagnel That set up you have...thats what i would do! How did you get a shift lever peg to work as a full length peg??
and I cant find the part number the is the bracket for the mid mounts, do you know where i could find them?

Thank you for the shameless plug

I've got them at maybe a 45 deg angle relative to horizontal. You can see them in my sig pic if you look real close. Yes, they do drag occasionally. If you're dragging your pegs now, you'll probably won't like the heal rests.

I have the Kuryakyn stirrups. They were on the bike when I got it. The DK ones look a little smaller, might be better for ground clearance but the Kury ones have a pretty large platform.

I installed the reduced reach forward control brackets from HD with the heel rests and its the best of both worlds.......the kit brings the controls back about an 1.5" and up just a little bit so I can still lean the bike over without grinding the heel rests so much

There is plunty of support to stand on, and it doesn't stick out where it would get in your way when your feet are on the ground. I am sure you can find some take off mid mounts on here or on eBay pretty cheap.

Cut off at red line, grind down to blue line and drill and tap at green location.

I've thought about the adding stirrups on mine too, but just couldn't find any I really liked. The Kury option is the one the closest I've gotten, just not thrilled of the look. I did put a 2"extension on and it did make me more comfortable.
I do dig blueangles idea a lot.

Nice bike color by the way.
