Heel Rest Solutions...
#22
If your unsure you can try putting a longer (3") bolt through your peg mount and it will act as a heel rest. I did this for almost a year and then finally bought the cheap Kurly knockoffs from JC Whitney.Either way you'll find out if you like them enough. I wouldn't even think about taking them off my Dyna now.

I have the H-D ones on my FXDWG and love them. Thank goodness they came on the bike as I don't know if I would have bought them w/o trying them. Makes long rides pretty comfortable. And I'm 5'11", and I find the forwards to be a perfect fit. I have a friend that's 5'9" that just bought an '05 FXDWG and he likes the control location as well.

I just added the Kuryakyn heel rests to their Pilot pegs about a month ago. I had chosen the Kuryakyn extended forwards on their website recommendation for someone with a 34 inch inseam, (5' 11" w/ 34) but I found the pegs felt just about an inch out further than perfect. (especially the right side due to the air cleaner) I looked at every possible solution and chose to try the Pilot pegs with heel rests.

I moved my first set of Pilots to the passenger position. Adding the heel rests has completely transformed the comfort of the bike for me. No longer am I feeling the cramping that I used to after 100+ miles of riding. I'd never want to change back and it was well worth the extra $$$ IMHO. I used Loctite on the installation and have not had any problems some have had with them coming loose. I also positioned them directly behind the peg so they feel like floor boards and have had no ground clearance problems. On one of the corners where I always used to drag my mids I have not been able to touch them down in repeated attempts.
Be more than willing to post a photo if you'd like.
