Default highway peg questions...

I am 5'6", and own a 2007 street bob. I purchased and mounted HD highway pegs, and wish that they sat an inch closer to me. Does anyone know of highway pegs that sit a bit closer to the rider? Has anyone used the adjustable highway pegs, would those brackets solve my problem?

It's funny, I am tall enough that the mid controls tire my legs out after a long ride, and short enough that the highway pegs are too much of a stretch.

If anyone could help I would appreciate any info you got.

Kuryakyn makes several products for repositioning pegs. I'd check out their website. You'll have tons of options.

They have adjustable brackets at the HD shop that will fit and feel comfortable

I'd suggest getting a set of Kuryakyn offsets for your pegs. They will allow you to adjust the pegs to the exact riding position that is most comfortable for you.

I'm using these pegs and they fit me okay, since you are a few inches taller than I am they shouldwork wellfor you.

I use those HD 360 adjustable peg mounts and they work really well. Kind of a pain to get adjusted just right though. One of those ride a little and adjust and then ride a little more etc...

I should say that they are on a Road King with an engine guard so they may not work for you.
