Any idea what the brand was or are you like me and suffer from CRS? I was 21 and walked into an interview and forgot the interviewer's name and had to look around for a common name on the desk.

Any idea if you would have been ok with the mini boards or was full size the answer?

These were my second choice....I just didn't know if it would match my bike but thought you might want to take a look. http://www.ebay.com/itm/FOOT-PEGS-FO...FXffN2&vxp=mtr

I installed 1/2 size but needed much reworking to use the posts that came with the boards. Also added HW pegs that enables me to stretch-out or anywhere in between.

Good luck and enjoy.

Anyone have any objections to using the ones from HD?

consider trap pedals/pegs. i wouldn't do this on my sportster because of how i ride it and i have mids but, with forwards i think it would be ok. super comfortable. take some getting used to but, man... comfy.:

i made mine but, dk has some pre-made that don't stick out as far as mine.

Ive been considering some of these for my 883l. The stock pegs are so short, hard to keep my feet on sometimes. But these pedals are interesting. I have forward controls, so they'd probably be ok for me. We'll see.

Not just short but because of their narrow tube design, it puts all the force on the foot onto one narrow point. To me, the footboards will distribute that force throughout the boot and lower the pressure. That said, I am not sure if the 4 inch mini one will work to that end as well as the big footed ones. Or maybe past a point, it will be a case of diminishing returns. IOW, you can go bigger but the gains are so slight, you'd spend more money than it is worth.

Someone suggested LED Sleds but is it that much better? http://www.ledsledcustoms.com/produc...s-2004-to-2014

IOW, if I got the Mini for $150, would I be kicking myself in the azz for not getting those, from a comfort POV? When it comes to discussing how it looks, that is a different story. Another thought is I don't see those as foldable. In the event of the bike leaning too low, would it push up and keep itself off the ground or would it drag and possible cause an issue?

i made some observations about them in that thread. Chief among them was getting used to the fact that they move if not tighened down. Can make shifting weird and dangerous if your foot gets wedged between the pedal and the shifter at the wrong time. Fair warning being tossed out there.

choppper hauss makes some non-spinning ones and modular ones too.

This is weird. Kuri said that they have one that fits on the site but on a chat with a rep, they said while it does fit, because you can push it, they do not recommend it for the driver.

This is my set up.



It's nice because I can rest my heel on it and the ***** of my feet on the highway pegs.

I have the HD mini's and love em. Less fatigue on the foot. I have mid controls though. They'll be on my bike until they fall off.
