What Highway pegs would work best for tall rider?
I'm 6'6" and am looking at getting a set of Highway pegs for my Roadglide. Any taller riders out there have any thoughts on which ones would work the best? Thanks in advance.

Yep, 360's are definately for as long as you need to go. I've had experience with them and the short angle, which are real nice but for shorter legs

i have a set of the chrome billet aluminum ones harley sells. i had them on my bike for about an hour, realizing that the aluminum distorts when you try to tighten them enough on the crash bar, and still will not stay put, but rotate out of position. great quality, although not well thought out. they keep dust from landing on about 10 square inches on one of my shelves in my shop. i'm 6'4" and figured out that it's just easier to keep my feet on the footboards.

Can't remember exactly what the type were called, but mine are HD and they had a "long reach" and "short reach" version. Sadly in the UK the dealers don't stock enough accessories so one tends to end up buying blind from the catalogue. I went on the recommendation of a riding mate and that was a big mistake - the long reach one is what I got.
I find the got in the way of my foot when trying to get my foot on and off the brake as they wrap around the lowers. The only "safe" position is not the most comfortable. I am 6ft

Just a +1 on the 360 ones. That's one HD product that's worth the money. However, be prepared for "analysis paralysis" since there's a million different ways to position them.
I prefer mine set so that I can have an "intermediate" position where I rest my heel on the floorboard and my toes on the highway peg when I don't want to extend my legs all the way. It's handier in traffic. JMO.
