Floorboard-Mounted Highway Pegs?
Guys, I'm looking for a floorboard-mounted highway peg solution, with a setup like these new Kuryakyn Flip Boards (~ $250):
The Kuryakyn Flip Boards incorporate multiple mounting positions (up to 2.5-inches forward/back and .75-inches out - from the stock position) and measure 15.375-inches long and 4.875-inches wide - larger than stock. I would like this solution IF the pegs can be closed with your feet.
I've seen the IMT Jac-Knife setup (~ $150), which requires grinding and drilling the floorboard pans, and the Kuryakyn Flip Blades (~ $155), which requires the pegs to be closed by hand. For the stated reasons, I DO NOT like these solutions.
Are there any independent fabricators out there who have come up with a reasonable, cost-effective solution for floorboard-mounted highway pegs? The only one that I have found is Tipp Cycle Specialties, who offers these, which are NOT retractable, and DO NOT appear to be available for Streamliner floorboards:
Show me your floorboard-mounted highway pegs!

I don't know anyone who uses floor-board mounted highway pegs in the corners. These are meant for the superslab, aren't they?

Put the IMT Jac-Knife ones on my wifes Heritage, she is quite happy with them. Pretty easy instal, took longer for the first side than the other - once I figured out what I was doing it was a lot easier. Nice little video comes with them for the instal as well, and all of the parts are good quality. $just under $180 plus shipping to the door.

Ya, I have a set from FBI, don't really like them that much, to much of a reach for my short legs making this not a comfortable riding position for me.

Do you ride through the twisties with your feet on your HIGHWAY pegs? I dont know many HIGHWAY's with corners.
Kuryakyn's pegs do fold up if they hit, they also can be folded back in under the board.
I chose this style since I didnt want an ugly crash bar on my bike. And my 4" stretched bags would scrape right about the same time as my Kury flip blades.
If I want to carve corners, I would jump on one of my Dyna's
