Default engine guards

I just wanted to know if anyone has the Mustache Engine Guards and how comfortable they are. I am 6’2†and just wanted to know if the foot position on these is too high.
I am wanted to put an engine guard on so I can have a place to put my feet and stretch out a bit on long rides and I an undecided on the guards that you add pegs to or save some $$$ and get the mustache guards, any input would be appreciated.

Thanks
Barry

I like the looks of the mustache bar engine guard, but it only allows for one foot position. A standard engine guard with a set of Kuryakyn ISO pegs work great. Allows for almost unlimited adjustment.

I thought that the foot position was good until i actually tried to use it.

It's too high, and akward with my heel right over the brake pedal.

I still like the looks of it, and do use it, but I'm getting some highway pegs to add some variety.
