Highway Peg Mount Question
I want to put some highway pegs on my 09 SG. Does anyone have recommendations for someone that is 6'3"? I just don't want to drop a load of cash and not like them. Thanks in advance!

Any highway peg is better than no highway peg. You can buy the super-duper, 9000 different position ones, but it's been my experience that they haqve too many pivot points. And too many pivot points = fasteners that vibrate loose, and need to be repositioned.
However... I'd stay away from the cheapos too. Seen too many of them that break, crack or just plain rust. And guess when it's going to break? At about 70mph!
You can usually find some good deals on e-bay, or the classifieds here. Buy a name-brand set and I think you'll be fine... and happy!

I just installed a set of the Harley 360 mounts with the left over passenger pegs from my 07 SG. I used the pictures from TexasFatBoy on another thread to approximate placement, then I went for a ride. Made minor adjustments and so far so good. I'm taking about a 600 mile round trip ride in a couple of weeks and that will be the acid test. Oh yeah, I think there is a set of the 360 mounts in the classifieds for a good price.

Agreed on the billet mounts... I don't like the looks of the hinged strap mounts.

Kuryakyn makes a decent mount that the chrome seems to hold up on. I use those mounts & some old FXR take-off highway pegs. I mount 'em low enough that I can rest my heel on the boards & my toes on the pegs. Or my foot on the peg, or my heel on the peg, etc. for multiple leg positions. On some long days I use 'em all.....
I figure since I'm gonna stomp on 'em with a boot there's no need for a high dollar chromium peg........YMMV.

I have the short angled adjustable kit (p/n 50830-07A) and am extremely satisfied with it. The 360 kit has more adjustments available to it, but like previously mentioned, too many options for adjustment can make it difficult to find the "sweet spot".
Good luck in your quest.
