Highway pegs
My 08 Street Glide is in getting serviced because of some clanking in my primary. I am slapping on some short arm harley extend mounts for my engine guard highway pegs. My legs are a little shorter so my boots and rest on the pegs better. I have been getting that kink in my neck and back on long rides. I am looking into replacing the seat and or bars. I am hoping that maybe the highway pegs might put me in a better relaxed position and that might be all I need. Whatcha think? Has pegs helped at all for anyone?

RE: Highway pegs
They mainly help me by allowing me to change my position every now and then and that helps on long rides. I don't use them much on short rides or when I might need to get on the brakes quickly.

I think the pegs'll work...could check out floorboard extensions too, like Soos.
Mount 'em where you can reach 'em easily, and so you can push yourself into the seat.
Weight distribution and alignment are key...all starts with the feet.
Might seem too simple...but think about it. Try sitting in a chair, lift your feet off the ground, and hold that position.
Gonna start feeling it everywhere, core, back, neck, legs. Hav'ta be firmly planted.
Hope your pegs help...mine did wonders for me.
