Default Lowers and highway pegs

Guys,

Just returned from a 340 mile cruise from MSP to Central Wisconsin. I'm now at 3300 miles on my 08 Street Glide. My challenge is that at 6 foot 5, when I throw my feet up on the freeway pegs, I get some serious "up-draft" into my upper body. I've heeded your advice so far and have purchased the air-deflectors (for under the fairing) and the fork baffle. They have made a huge improvement, but at 75 mph, I'm still getting hammered by up-draft wind.

Here's my question: If you have lowers, do they get in the way of low-mount highway pegs?

I'm using the foot peg brackets that basically let you do anything with them, but not really sure how they might work with lowers... Got any pictures?

Thanks guys!

Hmm 75... I found a sweet spot @ 70.&nbsp\\; Do the math, it doesn't save you much time, and it cost alot more.&nbsp\\; Find the sweet spot.

Im 6 foot 4 and its the nature of the beast. Plant those puppies on the Hwy Pegs and the wind just climbs up your legs. Been ridin for over 40 years and havent found a complete cure yet.
