Default Highway pegs for a Sporty ?

Hi all, I was thinkin about getting some highway pegs for my sporty. Im 6'3' and i have fairly long legs, so the more i can stretch out the better. If anyone has a pic of a sporty with highway's or has any info on the comfort or functionality please let me know. Thanks

I also have highway pegs on my Sportster. I turned mine slightly inward for more comfort. I'm considerably shorter though (5'6").

Had the adjustables on my old Sporty. Am 5'9" and used the middle setting. Full out should work well for you.

On the (hope I don't) crash bar... more pics in the gallery.

I like them. I'm 6'1" w/ 34" inseam and it's nice to put my feet up and cruise, not that I've ever felt cramped on the bike, tho.

I do notice that I only use 'em on warm days. When it's cold I seem to sub-consciously hug the engine with my legs for warmth!

We have highway pegs on both of our Sportsters. They work just fine. I can't post a picture because I do not know how yet.

Just got mine out of the shop ... and highway pegs was the only thing I wanted to do of all the things I HAD to do.
Love them. I am only 5-8, but they are a dream on a long ride. Saves the butt to be able to shift positions.
Soon as I get an updated pic, I will post.
