Default highway pegs

I just purchased a highway peg kit from J&P cycle. No instructions were included. Not that big of a deal, except there are a short set of spacers and a longer set of spacers. Does anyone know which spacers go on which side. I called them, but they didnt know.

I think you are talking about the straight arms that hold the pegs. If you are, I have the HD ones on my bike and one side was about 1-1.5 inches longer, but I cannot recall for sure the diffrence or which side is the longer of the two. Literally no help, I know, but unless someone else knows, I will check when I get home and post for ya.

It would help if you supplied a little more info. Like what year & model bike, std or forward controls, frame or engine guard mounted highway pegs?

Here are the instructions I dug up for mine which were made by V-Twin Mfg. They're for 2004+ Sportsters. Hope it helps.
