Hey poorboy,
What make are your highway peg mounts?
They're from HD. # 50957-02A.
When I mounted them I cut some wire-wheel liner (rubber) to wrap between the guard and these footpeg mounts. It gave me something to bite into as I tightened everything up. The universal business-end of the mounts lets you mate what ever pegs you want. I matched new passenger pegs to go along with what I put off the guard.

i have that gaurd on my fatboy hoping i could reach it. i'm 5'10 with a 30" inseam. i can barely reach it. i bought straight highway pegs but still couldn't reach comfortbly. i ended up getting the Longhorn offset from kuryakyn, these worked great. they are very adjustable to fit excatly how you like.
I am about 6ft 1 in and i have the HD nostalgic engine guard with footpegs slanted back a bit.
I can rest the bottom of my boots on the pegs comfortably but its a bit of a stretch to rest my heels on them.Sometimes i leave the pegs folded up and put my boots on the top,which is remarkably comfortable for me.
I just think the nostalgic guard, which is a bit more rounded than the normal guard suits Heritage and Deluxe models perfectly.
I'm 5'8" and I didn't like them at first, I felt like a had to squeeze my legs together to keep my feel planted on them. But since I got my backrest the mustache Engine guard is more comfortable, I think the bact rest offers more support. I also have Kuryakyn highway pegs, so I more more position options.
