Default Wind up my pant legs

Just put highway pegs on my Street Glide.They're extremely comfortable but the wind moves the cuff of my pant legs up to my knees. Does this happen to everybody? How can I avoid looking like I'm wearing shorts when driving down the road?

These work (base model) and are pretty inconspicuous.

Man, I have to ask, exactly what type of pants are you wearing that blow up to your knees?

I had the same problem then I bought some stirrup clips that run from seam to seam on the jeans and keeps them pulled down and wind from blowing up your leg. $20 a set I believe.

I use these type of boot clips. Boot cut jeans are bad about flipping up as if you rolled them up intentionally.

Using straight leg Levi's. No pants blowing up here, even at high (for a Harley) speeds.

I have the same problem. I bought some alastic pant keepers from a leather shop. Work good. The boot straps posted by somebody else look good also.
