I love mine, got the long angled version from another forum member.The long angled version is nice because it gives you allot of versatility in the mounting position.The trick is to mount them so you can rest your heels on the floor boards and your toes on the pegs without them interfering with your foot controls.It takes a little trial and error to get it right.Once you get this set up you can also move your feet all the way up on the pegs or rest your heels on them to totally stretch out.I also found them useful for heat management with my feet on the pegs the heat radiating from the head pipes becomes a non issue.Overall the best bang for the buck modification I've done to my Limited.I would also recommend round rubber pegs as opposed to those miniature foot board things much more comfortable and forgiving of changing foot angles.

I used them at one time, but have taken them off recently. When I try to stretch out on the bike it kills my hips. I just move my foot forward and out on the floorboards. Works just fine.

The hwy pegs give you the ability to change leg positions for stretching out which normally would add to the comfort of the bike. I like to rest my heal on the floorboards and my toes on the pegs. Occasionally I'll rest my heals on the hwy pegs which lets me stretch my legs straight out.

There is no way I could ride without them. And I have mine low enough to add another position...heel on floorboard and toes on pegs...it's like having and extended floorboard. I used to have them high, but a buddy talked me into pulling them down some.

I dunno, maybe mine are in the wrong spot or my setup is all wrong, but mine aren't comfortable for me. I'm 6'4" with a 36" inseam and I find my hips and calves cramp up. I have to get my feet back on the boards to be more comfortable. Maybe if I had a backrest or different bars besides beach bars....I dunno. They were kind of a disappointment for me.

Going to put highway pegs on very soon. I don't care for the looks of the crash bar, however, I'm finding I need to stretch my long legs out, so there goes form over function. Just can't decide between the Billet Mounts or the Short Angled Mounts. I have extended floorboards so I don't want anything to long or sticking out. Like to rest my heel on FB and toes on the pegs
