Do highway peg make your ride more comfortable?
I was thinking of putting highway pegs on my 2012 Ultra Limited. Not doing it for looks, but wanting your options about comfort. Going on a trip to Daytona and Key West and curious it they will offer an alternate comfortable leg position. I do not have comfot issues now but I have only ridden 500 miles in a day so far in all my years of riding and I will be doing more on this trip.
Fyi I'm 5'7 with a 30 inch inseam and 170 lbs (feels like a personal ad lol)
Thanks. Mike

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.

Definitely. As soon as I'm on an open stretch of road, my legs goes up. The cruise control is set and I'm relaxed. But when I'm riding through the city, I don't like to use the pegs because I need to be extra focused.
For me, pegs and the adjustable back rest are the keys for comfort.

I put them on my 13 ultra last year. Like Webo, I put heal on board and foot on peg. Get the 360's. The best thing about them is it allows you to kick your *** up about 3 inches and recline back on your backrest (yes get one of those too. Not for city riding.

Couldn't ride without them. Just pay close attention to make sure they work with lowers. My dealer installed some kuryakyn on mine before I picked it up and the mounts don't allow them to angle in properly because of the lowers. But...they forgot to charge me for them and when I mentioned it they said not to worry about it.
