I put the Kuryakyn Longhorn pegs on last week and went on a 525 mile ride this past weekend.
(1 1/4 KURYAKYN LONGHORN OFFSET DUALLY HIGHWAY PEGS 4575)

Besides the leg/knee relief I was pleasantly surprised at the back-side seat relief during the long drip.
By having several locations to put my feet and legs I was able to change the angle at which I rested in the saddle.

I thought it would also be helpful for others if I included pictures of where I mounted them.

Yep! That's what I have and how they're installed, but a couple inches higher. Make it nice have 3-4 positions for my feet on a long ride.

That's about where mine are mounted. And you're right, it helps tremendously. I now have 3 positions for my feet; flat on floorboard, heel on floorboard resting on pegs, and entirely on pegs for leg stretch.

I'm sure grindage will come.
My son helped me lean it over and the pegs will definitely hit first.
I may try raising them.
Thanks for the note.
