Heel-hooker

Does anyone use these on their bike? If so, is it flimsy? It doesn't look very strong.

I just set my adjustable highway pegs so I can rest my heel on the footboards and my toes are on the pegs.

No, but before I got hyway pegs, I used to just rest my heels on the front part of the floor boards in pretty much the same position as depicted in the pic and I could either have my toes touching the crash bars or by rotating my heels a bit out past the bars. It was comfortable and free.

No, but my Nomad came with an attachment to the floor boards for the heels to sit in.

Those are brake pads for a bicycle.

Heel Hooker?

Isn't that what you say when you want your girl to stay a step behind you?
