Default Roadster Highway Peg Question

Just ordered the highway peg mounts from American Classic Motors. My question is to those who have highway pegs, with aftermarket pipes. Do the pegs stick out adequately for a comfortable ride? It doesn't seem like an issue on the left side, just the right, with the way the pipes are routed. If anybody is running these and can post pics., that would be appreciated.

The kit i got has the right side side mount longer than the left side.
I'm guessing but I'd say between the spacers and the mounts themselves it's at least
an 1 1/4 longer.

This is true. Mine are from American Classic as well and the right is longer...they work great.

I have pegs on an engine guard, so can't speak to your concern, but how do you like the bikini fairing? Does it offer true wind protection?

Pics and a link to the instructions (they don't come with any).

This is for a Sportster by the way. I would assume the instructions are all very similar.

You'll be fine. As was stated, the right side is longer than the left. No worries.
