Highway peg alternatives
I'd like to have highway pegs on my Street Glide, but I hate the look of the crash bar, its not on the bike and not going back on either.
I've been looking at these but I am pretty sure they wont work with the stock FLHX floor boards. I like how they dont stick out really far, and the peg can fold up as to not trip everyone walking by the bike.
Any suggestions to something similar?

I think that the mounting system may decrease ground clearance. I don't know just asking,
it looks like it would work. Being 5 foot 7, and short on inseam they may work for me also,
but mounting something under the floor boards may take away a little ground clearance. I've
lowered the bike and do scrape some now and then, but I am going to look in to them too.

First of all, IMHO, the engine guard is not an accessory. It's there for a reason.
Secondly, based upon the Kuryakyn description, the pegs mentioned by the OP will only fit SG Trikes.
Thirdly, any of the flip-type highway pegs may be fine for the boulevard or super slab cruising, but they reduce cornering clearance significantly and can be dangerous in the twisties!
My $.02.

I use the Jacknife pegs. I have long legs and these make the ride extremely comfortable, i lke the stretched low position much better than the high mount on the crashbars.
Fat Baggers Inc offers them, I can't remember the name of the company that makes them, I bought them on eBay.

I had the Kuryakyn Mark IIIs on my Fat Boy. now while I wasn't the most aggressive rider in the bunch, they never gave me any problems.

The flip pegs by kuryakyn have hinges in them to fold up should they hit the ground. I doubt they would be any more dangerous than my wide glide pegs that hit the ground all the time. I know Dyna owners who scrape their outer primary all the time!
