Shortly after I purchased my (used) 1993 FXSTS, I took a Sunday trip half-way to Maine and back, and put about 500 miles on it in one day. By the time I got home, my legs were cramping up from the lack of different foot positions. I immediately began a search for highway pegs.

I had the Linbar by Lindby Custom Inc. on a previous bike and liked the way they looked and the multiple options for foot positioning. I wanted a little more streamlined look for my Springer though, and I swore I'd never go back to the Linbar or engine guards because they limit ground clearance when leaning a bike through a curve. They actually contributed to wrecking the last motorcycle I owned after I took a corner too fast and the Linbar scraped the pavement hard enough to cause me to lose traction, but that's a different story.

After looking for highway pegs for a while, and not really finding many options that I liked that still looked good, I stumbled across the Kuryakyn Highway Cruise Peg Mount. I liked the looks of it, but the retail price was a little more money than I wanted to spend. Fortunately, I was able to track down a new (but discounted) set on eBay which included the Kuryakyn Longhorn Pegs.

Once the peg mounts arrived, they were extremely easy to install. The one downside was that I had to remove my Lock Block in order to attach the Cruise Peg Mount, so now I have to carry my fork padlock clipped to a belt loop instead.

Kuryakyn makes quality parts so the chrome was nice (although I would have preferred wrinkle black to go with the rest of the bike. The peg mount is pretty unobtrusive when the pegs are folded up, and unless you're looking for them, they're not too noticeable. When the pegs are folded down, they give a pretty nice alternate foot position. I have fairly long legs, so I would prefer the pegs a little farther forward to allow me to stretch my legs more, but I think if they were much further forward they would interfere with the front forks. I also wish the pegs were just a bit wider. With my feet up, I feel like my knees are too close to the gas tank.

The only other minor complaint is that sometimes my left boot hits the highway peg if I'm not careful when downshifting. This isn't that big a deal, but it does take some care to squeeze the toe of my boot between the shift lever and the highway peg.

Overall, the Kuryakyn Highway Cruise Peg Mount is great! I've had it installed for several long trips now, and the extra positions for my feet really make a big difference in comfort on long distances. It's nice to be able to flip the pegs down when I hit the highway, and then flip them back up whenever I'm just cruising around town.
