Kuryakyn has the same version as the HD type except a bit cheaper. Check out the Tour-tech model which is made to curve around your lowers. Look at the Long-Angled version for your height and you'll be a happy camper like I am. My supplier was Dennis Kirk and the cost for mounts + pegs was about $130.

So, I guess there are more than one way to enjoy pegs.

Absolutely if you're riding a long ways:
I have mine set up so i can ride:
1. Heels on the boards, Toes on the Pegs - Most comfortable for me. Spend 70% of my riding here.
2. Arches on the pegs - good, but lots of wind pushing on my size 12.5 boot.
3. Heels on the pegs - only good for me to stretch the legs out for a few minutes.
4. feet on the boards
5. feet on the passenger pegs - you have to ride a looong way in a day to get to this one.

On both of my new touring bikes (2010 & 2012) I left the dealer with the highway peg mounts and pegs when I picked up the bike.
On my 2002, I had the highway pegs & mounts at my house before the bike showed up.
I think the highway pegs are a must have if you are going to be on a bike for more than an hour. Hell, I'm stretched out on my highway pegs before I have mile 1 down on any ride. It's just a more comfortable position for me.
