Default hows your highway pegs?

having a hard time adjusting my highway pegs for the best comfort. Thought there might be a more interesting way to mount them that im not thinking about. Lets see the pics of your highway pegs!

I had problems with my hwy pegs and never used them until a bought a set of the 360 deg mounts. They made positioning the peg much more flexible. I love them when I'm on a long hwy run now. Unfortunately, I don't have any good pics of them handy.

I can set my boot heel up on top of them when they are closer, gives me a couple of different positions this way. 360 HD mount.

+1 on the 360 mounts. They make positioning the pegs really easy. It does take some time finding the sweet spot, but once your there you'll be really happy.

+1 on the 360 and I have the Kuryakyn Switch Blade foot pegs. I can put my heel in the heel rest below the pegs. I also put it on the lift to make sure the bike was level, this way it makes adjusting easer.

I've got the HD 360 mounts also and matching Streemliners. I have them low so they are more like extended floorboards.
FYI: I have a 32" inseam

Did the same mount. Have a lot of options, foot on pegs, heel only, boot above peg, and toe on peg and heel on floorboard. Love the 360 mounts.

Mine (I think they're just take-off passenger pegs - Parts guy just tossed 'em to me some time back) are set up much like TFB's. They can be "forward floor boards" (heel on the board, toe on the peg) and very comfy for the whole foot.

Allows several positions, wouldn't do it any other way.

those are some great pics. I have the 360 hd mounts also. are you supposed to tighten them up so they dont move or..leave the bolt loose enough that it will swivel and the pressure of your foot puts them in a locked position or say a "bind" i would think if they were loose they would always be torwards the street and youd have to try to adjust them while driving. that wouldnt work out very well.

I use the Kury stirrup pegs with their offset mounts and quick clamps. I like the stirrup to put my heel on or my toe on when I leave foot on board
