Default Adjustable highway peg mounts, long or short?

I am vertically challenged, 29" inseam. I mounted a long adjustable highway peg mounting kit- offset on my 2011 RKC. After I got them adjusted to stay out of the way of the foot controls, it still seems like I am just a bit short of stretching out.

I see you can just order thw short arm kit but its still a little spendy. Does anyone know the difference between the short and long offset arms? Has anyone with a similiar inseam faced this choice and decided one or the other was the best?

I have the kuryakyn longhorns. I have the same inseam issue. They are very adjustable. I'm sure they would work for you.

Keep playing around with the adjustments until you get it right. It did take me a while but not they are great.

I have the same 29" inseam and i have the long offsets. I have yet to get them further away from me i can't stretch out yet. They are too close.
