kuryakyn stirrups, any good?

Hi,

I have a 94 FXSTC with 3" extended foot controls and it's a great setup for my normal riding, burning up the back roads. I've been riding with a new group of guys who like to take longer rides including highways.

I'd like to find something besides just pegs to make my feet/legs more comfortable. If you are using the kuryakyn stirrups, please let me know how you like them. And, if there is anything similar out there, please chimne in..

Thanks much..
Doug

I have 'em... rarely use them even though I log 10-12,000 highway miles per year. I'll trade or sell them if you decide that you like them.

I have the kuryakyn swingwing pegs...love 'em. When they are folded up they are like floorboards...when you hit the highway swing them out so you can stretch out a little. Most comfortable pegs I have ever had.

I have a set but rarely use them...I think I would use them more if my controls were extended out another 2-3". I have the standard mid controls on my rocker C and to use the stirrups I actually need to move my feet further back instead of forward, which is more comfortable. Eventually I will add control extensions and then I think I will use them more often.

Wow, those swingwing pegs look cool. Is the latching mechanism sturdy?

I think that they're great for softails. At least for FXSTC's they are as I think that footboards look dumb on the basic softail. I think that they are also practical as well.

I"ve had them on my Deuce for a few years now , one of the best things I've done to my bike . Instead of feeling like a bird on a wire at high speeds I am totally relaxed , never had a bike with floor boards , but think the feeling may be real similiar . I use them all the time , they are adjustable also . Believe I also put Kury's wider pegs on at the same time as the stirrups , also adding to riding comfort .

Dan said it well, "Bird on a wire" describes exactly how I feel after a long ride on the super slab. I'm gonna give them a try, I'm 6'3" with big feet, I hope they help.

Thanks guys,

Doug
