Default got the Mark III's today...With PICS

I just installed them. Very easy. Drill a few holes, bolt a few bolts on and put the floorboards back the bike. Don't forget the Loctite! I am yet to take a ride as it is Rush hour, but I'll get out later on. It seems that they can be adjusted for height on the arm. I think I have them where I want them, but am not sure yet. I was concerned that they were going to interfere with the rear brake pedal but they do not. However it seems as if a spacer on the right peg might make it more accessable as the brake pedal is near the peg and you have to reach around the brake pedal to get to the peg. I will have try some different adjustments and wee what is best. All in all, the best $16 I have spent in a long time. Thanks ebay. Looks like I might be ready for Laughlin early.

My brother has them on his Fatboy. I am 6'3. He is 6'2. They help a whole lot. Very comfortable. Ebay can be a ggod thing sometimes.

Got mine last week but haven't had the chance to install them yet. Mine came without pegs. I picked up some new larger ones for the passenger pegs & will use my smaller passenger pegs for the Mark III's. Hopefully this coming week I'll find time to install. The weather here is still a bit cold & rainy. Spring is on its way though. Can't wait to try them out. Yours look great btw!

looks good! I hope you like them as much as I like mine. I also replaced the stock brake pedal with the EZ-Brake, which moved to brake pedal down about 2 inches.

Who makes these MK III & IV's? I'd like to see their website. I've been wrestling with the idea of forward controls, but these might just suit my needs perfectly. I'm a little over 6'3" tall. Your bike looks great anubisss......

I'd like to know also. I've also got the engine guard but wouldn't mind some pegs for stretching out on longer rides. Gotta keep the crash bar, though.

They are made by Kuryakyn. I do not know if they will work with an engine guard.
