Highway pegs

Hey all,

Quick question. What are good options for highway pegs on a Limited?
I'm only 5'9" so I need something for short guys.

i'm only 5'4'', i like the long angled, and have them set so that i can rest my heels on the floorboards, and my toes on the highway pegs. my legs are still too short to completely rest my feet on the highway pegs, but this works pretty good for me.

Same here; Long angles set the same way. I have a 30" inseam and can either put my toes on them or stretch my legs out. Very comfortable and I use them a lot

I am 5'7" with 30" inseam and use the short angled pegs. A lot would depend on what seat you have and whether it scoots you back or forward. I have the Mustang Wide Touring with backrest. Some people say it scoots you forward but I don't notice it and it is very comfortable. I can put the arch of my feet in the pegs, lean back into the backrest and be very comfortable. I also added the 3/4" footboard extenders so I can rest my heal on the footboard, and ball of the feet on the pegs. I sat on bikes with long and short angled pegs and for me the long came back too far.
