I have the narrow HD ones, just bought a set of Willie G's tonight to accommodate my size 13 boot.

It would also be helpful to provide your inseam size and shoe size, for perspective.

As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words! Thanks for taking the time, Chief21. This is great. I like the relaxed look, with your heel on the 'boards and your foot on the pegs.

Now, is it still comfortable when you have your feet entirely on the pegs, or is it more of a stretch for you?

Thanks, again.

I have the HD 3" mini floorboards with the long adjustable arm to fit around the lowers.

Hey, Chief21, I just received a set of Streamliner pegs from the HDF Classifieds, and I rolled down to Barb's HD today and picked up the 3-piece clamp with my dealer points! Hope to get it all set up this week. I'll let you know how it works out for me.

Thanks, again, for the helpful tips and photos.

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. If I rest my foot with the peg right at the arch of my foot,so that the space in the sole of my boots between the heal and toe area kind of hooks on the peg it's not too bad of a stretch. If I try and rest my heal on the peg it's a little bit of a stretch and my knees feel locked. Resting my foot on the board and my toes on the pegs is almost like the feeling of the forwards on my Dyna, except my legs are a little bit straighter. Super comfortable for me and now my feet automaticaly just go there.

Tried the kurys cause I got a set cheap. Didnt care for them that much. I like the simpler HDs a lot better. Good placement, good look.

I like your assessment of the three (3) positions. With our inseam lengths and shoe sizes being very similar, I hope to share in your positive experience with this setup.

My preferred position will probably also be using the 'boards and pegs, together. My next favorite position will probably be feet on the pegs. I don't think I would ever use the heels on the pegs; too scary for me.

I hope to get the pegs installed and roughed in this week. I'll be sure follow up on my experiences with them.

Thanks, again, for all your help.
