Had them mounted to the engine guard on a previous bike. Really liked them. I could leave my heel on the floorboard and catch the peg with the rest of my foot. I'm not running an engine guard on current bike but have been considering the kuryakyn Mark III or IV. What i'd really like to find is something you could mount to the end of the floorboard that would let you rest your heel in it while cruising down the road.

I have the crash bar on my bike but I do feel the need to stretch out some on longer rides

It really all depends on your height and how you sit while riding. People of a shorter stature probably will not use them much if at all due to the length of their legs. If you do not have a crash bar you can get FBI jackknives or the Kury stuff.

Guys...just make sure the Kury fit on your floorboard....
On my 2010 Heritage...they DO NOT FIT different style floorboard...

also, some other member posted this website....
I called him up..they do not fit on my floorboard either...but maybe will fit on yours!!

I really like mine and use them often. On curvey roads it feels like I'm on the batman roller coaster at six flags.

I put these on my bike and love em. i bought them on a reccomendation because they had the "lip" at the end. I have them mounted so my heel is on the boards and the ball of my foot is on the pegs. The "lip" keeps your angled foot from falling off.

On longer rides it sure feels good to be able to move your feet. Gives your knees and a$$ a rest.
