Question Jackknife Pegs
Thinking about purchasing a pair of the Jackknife Style highway pegs...anyone have these and if so do you like them?

Thanks

Had them on the SG. Work great as extra space to move your foot around on on the floorboards. As for highway pegs, they are too low and once you straighten your legs out, you get blast by the wind that they were blocking.

I have them, don't use them much. Not really a great position change and a little wobbly.

I have used them for a couple of years now, the only complaint I had was like a couple of you said they weren't very stable. If you get in contact with IMT Products who is the manufacturer of the Jack-Knife pegs, they have a shim kit available that fixes the problem. Very easy to install. Now if I want I can stand on them and they are solid as a rock.

I have seen that in another thread, went ahead and ordered the pegs, now to order the shims. Thanks to all who replied.
