I have a new Ultra Limited. I bought a set of HD 360 highway peg mounts and a set of foot pegs. I have twisted on these damn things till I'm blue in the face. If you have highway pegs on any touring bike with lowers, could you post a pic? Looking for placement ideas. Thanks.
Here's mine, with and without lowers (i painted my bike black to white) location allows me to stretch, place heel on top of it, boot heel on floorboards with tip on the highway pegs...

Well you gte
the idea, i didn't want my feet above my head just needed to stretch them out, i see some folks that have the pegs so far high I would never be able to get to them, not my style of riding...
I do the same as cozz. Low enough heels on floorboard toes on pegs. Sort of like riding with forward controls. I still have the option to stretch out that way too if I want which I rarely do.
My bike's still in winter storage (getting this Sat ), but this pic shows where mine are mounted on crash-bar (~1/2 way up). What I did is raised bike on jack, loose mounted brackets/pegs, adjusted to my comfort level & then tightened everything up. Worked pretty well.
I have mine out a tad to stretch legs when riding.
I looked at the 360 mount but didn't like the look or fit. Ended up with the short angled mount. They work great, angle around the lowers and I have them set so my knees are slightly bent when my foot is on the pegs and fully extended when I put my heels on top.
Sorry for the crappy pic, the garage is dark.
