"Adjustable" 360 Degree Highway Mount and Pegs
"Adjustable" 360 Highway Pegs on Heritage (see images below)...
1. The word "adjustable" can mean many things. For the HDMC it evidently means that I can adjust them with a wrench. I had figured there would be some cool quick way to make adjustments without breaking out tools. I still had to do quite a bit of manual alignment, etc. to ensure that the pegs were where I want them, so not sure what the 360 degrees of "adjustable" movement is supposed to provide for me. Oh well.
2. Install wasn't simple. It took longer than I thought. I wanted to be sure and take my time, read instructions, etc. I was a bit confused when I got to the part where I was supposed to simply push the highway peg into position while holding the D ring in place. Sure. More like manhandle the peg into place while praying the D ring doesn't fly out and smack me in the face or crush a finger. A lot of grunting and bitching and I got them both into place.
No matter, I'm happy that they're in place and will be even happier when I get back out. Kind of rainy today and my wife's last day off. I'm off for the rest of the week, so back to riding tomorrow.

I like them. If you don't, I'll send you my address and you can ship them to me! They'll match my grips.
I think the "360 degree adjustability" refers to the part that looks like a crank. It can be forward for long legged riders, down like you have it, back for short legged riders, and up for those wanting to mount them lower on the crash bars, but have the pegs the right height for them to reach.

Don't get me wrong, I do like them. If I could have anything else, it would have been to find the Nostalgic collection foot pegs for this setup. I have all the other Nostalgic collection items, so would have been nice to have a complete matching set. Unfortunately, doesn't look like they make Nostalgic collection foot pegs. So, I went with bar/shield/rubber/chrome. Matched close enough.

Have the same pegs and sure cant remember having any problems and like said above, the 360 degree is simply the arm attached to the peg. Can be rotated 360 to your liking or in your case, disliking.

By the way, your left peg is angled more toward you than the right one. The right one is almost completely horizontal.
Just thought I'd point that out. Want my address yet??

Ha Ha! That's messed up! If he has OCD like me he'll be out there all day trying to get 'em to match exactly!
