Go with the long. You can adjust them to be short if you need to. Cant make the short ones longer. I have mine adjusted so you can rest your heel on the foot board and toe on the peg or your whole foot on the peg.

Mine are actually mounted low but angle up as I have big feet and they interfered with my boot toe when swapping onto them from the floorboards

I have the shorts and they worked perfect on my Dyna and on the Street Glide before I added the lowers. I added the lowers today and the shorts still work but I think I would be happier with the longs (30 inch inseam). I can still angle them in but not as much as before.

They make the long, short AND a 360. Im 5'11 and have had both short angle and the 360. I give the edge to the short angle, I like the way they look better than the long too.

I'm use to the heel on the floorboard, toe on peg. Thanks to those who posted pics and feedback. Think i will be going with the longs.
