Default Highway Peg Question

I cant reach my Highway Pegs and I'm 6' tall. Nonetheless, it appears that I need to buy a new set of adjustable pegs.

Are some better than others?

What are you guys using?

Thanks, Don

I have a set of hd adjustables (short) that my legs are too long for. What do you have? Maybe we could work out a trade.

If they are the same ones I have they are 360 adjustable. You must have some mighty long legs....

Show us a pic of the way you have them mounted, you may need to twist them in or out depending on how you want them. I have the Kury... longhorn's and I had to adjust them in towards the brake and clutch pedals within a few inches to make them work for my particular need. Had to train my feet to keep from bumping them and their just right. Take a look at my sig pic on what I'm talking about.

I mounted my pegs incorrectly the first time too, they look right but a simple turn of the mounting bracket and instantly I could reach them. I doubt it's the pegs bro, it's most likely how you have them mounted, post some pics so we can see.

How you liking the Longhorns? I'm looking at those or the similar offset arms and using some swingwing pegs. I'm 6'3" with 36" inseam and like the idea of the flip out arm on the Kury swingwing pegs so I can really stretch out

On my 2011 Roasd King I have the 360 Adjustables and fitted them with the rear pegs off a Street Glide. The begs are great as they offer a heap of surface area for the feet to sit on and look great. I have fitted them so that the outer of the peg faces forwards (as opposed to up). As the clamp and "arm" of the peg is shaped almost like a ? I have them positioned so that the "arm" comes around the front of the Crash Bar and back towards me. I am 6'4" tall and I find this to be quite comfortable.
