Question Highway pegs: 360s or short angled?

I'm looking for opinions on choosing the 360 vs short angled highway peg mounts. I have a 2012 Road King, Sundowner seat, no lowers, stock engine guard, 5'9" with 30" inseam. I'd like to put my heel on the floorboards and rest the ball of my foot on the highway peg. Also want to be able to take my foot off the board and put it on the highway peg.

Based on the above, which highway peg mounts would be best suited for me? Does one have an advantage over the other?

i do what you are talking about with the long angled highway peg mounts, with the exception of resting my foot only on the highway peg, legs are too short though, i'm 5'4'' with a 29'' inseam.

I am 6 ft and have the 360 mount. When they are set up they are great. I can do toe on pegs and heel on floorboards , all on pegs or rest my calf on the pegs.

I just saw a set of 360s in the FS section this week.

I'm also 5'9" and I just got a set of the angled short highway pegs. First off this morning I was just holding them up to my engine guard to see how they would be and right now I'm not sure I'm going to like them. I don't want to mount them because if I do I can't return them. Of coarse I just worked a 14hr night shift so I wasn't 100%. With the angled ones it looks like I'll always have the pegs down. I want to be able to rest my heel on the floor board and my toe on the highway peg but don't want the highway peg be sticking out off the engine guard when not in use. I went ahead and ordered a set of these and between the two I see which one I like the best then return the other.

The 360's work great for me. Had a 09 SG and now a 2012 RKC. You can try many different positions with them to get it just how you want them. I've got mine where my heel is on the FB and my toes are on the pegs.

I too am 5'-9" w/ a 30" inseam. I'm using the short angled mounts which are perfect for me. They're mounted to allow multiple foot positions as you've mentioned.
