At 5'10" I am not long legged,but would like to be able to stretch a bit, and the regular highway pegs that clamp directly to the engine guards, are just a bit too stretched out for my tast.

RE: Highway Peg Question
I don't have those, but I have a set of offset mounting brackets that swivel 360. Let's you mount the pegs with the brackets towards you, away from you, or anywhere inbetween. I think they are the Kuryakyn offset mounts, and the pegs are the Kuryakyn Isopegs. This would work for you easily at 5'10".
Yes, I just put them on prior to my trip to Daytona from Michigan and they are excellent. I got the long angled as I am 5'8" but could have gone with the shorts shown in your link. Highly recommended except for the H-D price, as usual, that $99 does not include the footpegs themselves (add another $49 for ones shown).
That is nice! Multiple positions is good. When I need a real stretch I put my heels on the pegs but I don't think it is very safe for reaction time. I like your solution, you may have given me a Santa idea .
Hey New....I have a set and I am a little more vertically challenged ( Short **** ) Than you at 5'7....I have these mounted in a way where my heel is on the floorboard and the ***** of my feet rest on the pegs.....real comfy....give it a try

wholllllyy Crappp!!! DC,,, your bike looks like the gyno's check up table from hell!!!
place yer feet in these lil lady!! lol
ER,
Ya know, sometimes when I'm cruzin' on the highway with both legs stretched out horizontally on the top iso wings, it feels like a leaf blower going up my trousers.
Kinda like riding in your birthday suit - a real blow-ing job upstream
All the various positions available make it easy for an old fart like me (51) to ride non-stop between tanks - did 390 miles yesterday with one fillup pit stop.
