My inseam is also 32 and I havbe the Kury Switchblade pegs mounted on the crashbars as highway pegs. They are sweet and really nice to rest your heels on. Have to try to stay awake on a long trip!
100% agree with bigdadddy......I mounted the Switchblades using HD 360 degree mounts, but the Swtichblades are really comfortable with the flip out heel rest and don't look like the bigger bulkier mini-floorboard options that I've seen some guys run with and give you the same comforts.

Doesn't anybody mount their highway pegs on the INSIDE of the crash bars?
I have a friend that is about 2"-3" shorter than I and he has his highway pegs mounted on the inside.

HD makes a nice set of 360 degree adjustable mounts that work well for us. Page 666 of the 2007 parts and accessories catalog. Itme number 50832-07.

Regards,

Bill

LowriderFXRS, I do. I'm 5'11.5 with a 33 inseam sitting on a Mustang Solo on my Road King. I run the pegs inside the crashbars because I do lane splitting Here in SoCal during my once-a-week commute to work. Having the pegs inside also allows a nice tuck-in between the bar and peg. My legs point straight ahead at a relaxing angle, and whatever the bars fit between will work in traffic! I use chrome-ended black rubber pegs, they have cushion, don't scratch and match the nostalgic grips and stock gear pegs.

BTW - those are "crash" bars. Mine saved my right leg from being broken January '07 in a 35 mph crash when I was cut off and squeezed between two mini trucks. Put the new bars on last week and new pegs are in the mail.

I went the switch blade route too and really love them. It gives me a choice of sitting positions so that I can stay comfortable. Next will be an adjustable peg set for my wife so that she can adjust her position. I can't put the pegs on the inside of the crash bar because of the lowers. Can't split lanes in WA or OR either probably wouldn't even if it was legal. To many bone head cagers up here.

Default RE: Highway peg time,

Do you rideresting your heels on the highway pegs or with the arch of your foot on the highway pegs?
I have a set on mine and feel like I have lost some control of the bike if I rest my heels on them. I feel I have more control if I keep my feet on the floor boards.
Is that just something everyone feels at first and I need to get used to?

I also use the Hwy pegs as a rest for my toe & use them as my FWD (style) controls - Up & Down shift with my heel and never have to move my foot off the Hwy Pegs - Do the same with the rear brake...
