I, like several here, have the Kuryakn Longhorn offset duallys. I really love them, as they are adjustable at several points. It takes some tweaking to get them exactly right, but once they're set, they're very nice.

I agree with Prarie Cruiser. Put them on where you think you like them, gather the allen wrenches and socket you'll need and head out on the highway. Ride a while, pull over to a safe spot, adjust both of them, head out on the highway, ride, pull over to a safe spot ..." and, eventually, voila!

The extra dimensions of adjustment means you can get them 'just right.'

I got them (longhorn offset duallies, but while I agree they are nice, and adjustable, I never seemed to find just the right setting for me (possibly because my legs are on the shorter side, about 29" inseam. I'm looking at maybe trying this: http://www.kuryakyn.com/index.cfm/go...etail/IMID/929

Actually what I've been doing is stretching my feet, the heel of the left foot is just before the toe shifter, the heel of the right is just before the brake lever, angle them out a tad, and it's pretty comfortable, maybe I don't even need anything... hmmm....

Crabbypaddy,

Below is a link for Fast Cycle Parts in California. They have really good prices on the Kuryakyn Iso Offset pegs. I purchased a set from them a few months ago and really like them. Fast shipping and easy to communicate with them. Your front bar size is 1 1/4" OD.

I have these Kuryakin iso-pegs and am completely satisfied with them. Nice looking, easy to adjust and install, and very functional.

I have the ISO pegs with the offset mounts. Have them set low so that I can rest my heal on the floorboard and put my toes on the pegs. Or, stretch out and set my feet on the pegs. Lots of choices. Plenty of comfort. Great for long trips.

I have the same set-up, but added the "Drifter" brake arm & #8027 Kury pad cover .
Gives you even more room.

do the nomads need the offset pegs? I have iso dually offsets on my 750 and was going to transfer them over once I get a bigger bar clamp. didn't think the nomad was a different size on each side

I place my feet in the same position and thought it was good until I went on extended trip. While you can stretch out you can't take any pressure off your back or your butt. A friend suggested highway pegs so I put on Kury Iso pegs. It made a significant difference. My feet are in the same spot and the pegs are just below my toes. It's trial and error to get them right but well worth it. I can now take the pressure off my butt and my lower back.
