When I bought my bike the prior owner had installed the HD Heel Rest Peg Kit. I tried riding with them but never did like the feel. Took them off after a month of using them. I purchased A.N. 3 in. forward extensions and those really worked great but I started doing more traveling and wanted to be able to change my leg position.
So highway pegs sounded like the deal but with the A.N. 3 in. forward extensions I could find no engine guard that fit my Night Train to attach highway pegs to.
So.. I installed the heel rest pegs on the opposite sides (upside down) of the mc as shown in my pics..gives me a leg extension that really feels good and my heels rest on the normal foot pegs. Added the longer rubber pegs for better grip and wider stance. Cheap way to increase comfort.

Installed the A Ness 3" fwd controls black billet on my Train. I'm 6' even w/33inch inseam. It's perfect. I kept the rubber pegs cause I'm all stretched out and can't have my feet sliding off when I'm wrapping through the gears. I did get the extended rubbers which is better then the factory length ones. Good bang for the buck with the AN's.

I am 6'4" and my three inch ext. on my train are a little close. On highway rides I can rest my heels on my pegs. I look like a monkey ****in a football. Tried to convince my wife that a custom chopper with a huge raked front was the way to go. Key word "TRIED".

I actually bought a Lindy Bar abd when I have the need to straighten my legs for the BAD knees, I just swing my legs up on them and my feet stick out beside the front tire.With the back rest I have, I in Heaven! Riding in my easy chair!
