Peg location and (back)side benefit

scott2007nomad · 05-04-2009, 09:59 AM

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.

bro...i too have the longhorns but have mine a bit higher..1-2 inches...you getting any grindage with them in your position?

and yes...huge difference in less butt-ache due to being able to move around

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.

I have those too but have them mounted alot higher maybe 4-5 inches

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.

Thanks for the pictures. I just ordered a mustang seat with backrest. I was thinking about ordering these as well...

I got a $15 pair of pegs that give me the same benifit

Yeah, I know, thay don't look as pretty. But geez, they do the same thing.

Nope, don't drink Doc. I sure do have a bunch of other stuff I want to buy though

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.
