Default Highway adjustable peg differences?

Can you tell me the difference between 50827-07A which says 360 adjustable and 50829-07A whcih is the long angled? Are they both 360 or is one more adjustable than the other and how about lenght differences?

I have the 50832-07A and completely understand why they are 360. Very adjustable but somehow not "perfectly" adjustable. Your 360's weren't available and I think the picture is pretty poor. May use this as an excuse to ride out to the dealer and take a look. More to the point of your question, if it doesn't say 360 it's not 360. The 360's will give you more options on setup.

Thanks, does anybody have experience with the 50829-07A as far a adjustability. I am looking at getting a set, but would like to do it once and not have to go back a second time. I like the idea of the longer style as it seems to me that it should give me more options, especially since I only have a 30" inseam.

Also, is one type easier to readjust on the road compared to the other?

I don't think you'll find any of them easy to adjust. You want both sides to be the same height and angle when riding. Since most of us lean the bike on a kickstand that is not as easy as it sounds. 360's have the greatest possibility of finding the "perfect spot" but it's greatest strength is also it's greatest weakness b/c adjustment is more involved.

I'd guess my inseam to be 30 also. I usually buy a 32 inseam on pants. I'm might be a tad over 6ft. "Long angles" seem to be for people several inches taller than us AND several inches shorter than us depending how you swing the mount. My guess is that you don't really want long. 'Course even having made that decision for myself I sometimes wonder...

2 more things:
One, if you go with the ones I have they are actually made by Kuryakyn and called Long Horns so you might be able to find them cheaper.
Two, if your local dealer has the mounts you are considering maybe they would walk out to your bike with you and hold them up while you sit on the bike so you get a better idea which ones will fit you best.

All of them have a lot of adjustability but I prefer the look of the short and long angled mounts better than the 360 ones.
