Kincardine, Ontario, Canada | These pegs look well made. I would like to see some type of rubber insert as well or a heel rest to prevent your foot from slipping off.
I also 2nd the adjustable idea, I would not buy them, because with my 36" legs, I would like to stretch out. For me they would need to reach above an beyond the from tip over bracket |

New Castle Delaware | Hey Rockstar, Thanks for posting the pictures. I ordered a set last night. I see they also work with the Ness floorboards which I plan on getting also. Do you have to remove the floorboards to install the pegs? |

i have tried to reply to some PM's but they seem to be sitting in my outbox so..
PMs sit in your outbox until the receipient opens it up, then it transfers out. |

Park City, Utah | bikerdave, I put the pegs on while floorboards were on the bike, Then took the floorboards off to install the Ness tops. I didn't realize that the rubber goes back on and under the Ness tops. the trick was getting the floorboards back on and the spring in the right posistion. first one I fought with, second one took me under a minute. pm me for the trick when you're looking at it.
candu, the sole of my boot allows it to hook on the peg. then as needed you can go over the top and rest your heel for a full leg stretch. I have a 34 inseem. works for me. |

O'Neill, Nebraska | I just ordered a pair and asked about the lack of 'rubber' on the top of these. The parts guy I talked with said they've added a clear covering (he used the term 'bra' and said that several of the guys in the shop have this item on their Visions'.
IMHO these look much nicer than the Kury version that Victory sells. On another note, when I called this dealer they were very eager to provide other Vision parts like the brake fluid cover, etc. I went ahead and added myself to their e-mail list for future Vision parts.

Lindale, TX | I sold the OEM highway pegs because I couldn't stretch out my 37" inseam enough. The OEM highway pegs seem to come out about 2/3s of the way up the floor boards. These look like they mount more forward. They look pretty good, but I've learned my lesson and will wait til I see them in person some day to decide. |

New Castle Delaware | I just received my pegs today. They are really nice looking and well made. It took about 30 min to install, you do not have to take off the floorboards just the rubber top. The clear covering is a piece of clear film sticky on one side and when I put the first one on it looked like crap cause it makes the chrome look dull. I removed it. I like the location and the height of the pegs. I always rode my ultra with my heel on the board and my toes on the hiway pegs on the engine bars. These pegs set up about 3" higher than the boards so if you put your heel fully on the peg I still have a bend in my legs and I wear a 32" inseam so EASTTEXASRIDER these are probably not for you. Hope this info helps some of you riders on the fence. |

O'Neill, Nebraska | This is why I ordered my set...I'm not short, but I'm certainly not 6'4". Once I get them installed I'll let you know how the ride is! |

O'Neill, Nebraska | All I can say is WOW about these highway pegs. Actually they're not pegs, which I really like. Indeed the pictures don't do them justice. they are VERY solid and the chrome is top notch. The way I look at it....for $40 more than the Victory version, this is the way to go. And the V on the top really adds a nice touch. |

Richmond, Virginia | hey Rock Star, thanks for the great photos, i was hoping to see an install similar to my bike. I have a black 08 Street Premium with the Ness Chrome floorboards, so to see yours with the V-pegs sold me. In response to someone earlier, whos comment was about
practicality and functionality over form and aesthetics,,, uhhhh didnt you BUY A VISION for that very reason? If it looked like a two wheel shoe box you wouldnt have bought it. While I agree that its a shame there is no rubber, its also not that hairy of a deal that they dont either. If you want a black piece of rubber with a little chrome tip on it, ebay is probably your best source. |

New Castle Delaware | Outdoordave, I think they should work excellent for you. As I stated earlier in this thread I have a 32 inseam and I put my heel on the floorboard and toe on the pegs and have a slight bend in my legs. They actually sit up 3 " higher than the floorboards. If you like the looks of them I think you'll like the fit. |
