Had some time to think about this and I think my original post was kind of sketchy. Let's try this again:
I'm thinking about putting highway pegs on the engine guard of my 2008 FLHX. I've heard that it takes some messing around to get them right where you want them so I'm wondering if the adjustable ones are superior to just the straight mount kit. Here's what the newest P&A Catalog shows for my choices:
1) 50957-02A Chrome Billet Engine Guard Footpeg Mounting Kit $100
2) 50832-07A Adjustable Highway Peg Mounting Kit - 360 Degree $110
3) 50827-07A Adjustable Highway Peg Mounting Kit - Long Offset $130
4) 50828-07A Adjustable Highway Peg Mounting Kit - Short Offset $130
5) 50964-98 Engine Guard Footpeg Mounting Kit $40
My questions:
1) The adjustable items are $60 to $90 more than the standard mounting kit (choice 5 above). Once you get them where you want them, do you move them around any more? In other words, what are you paying the premium price for?
2) Are the adjustable models adjustable on the fly? If not, do you really find yourself pulling over on a long trip and adjusting them because you need more than 2 foot/leg positions (floorboards and highway pegs)?
3) The chrome billet kit is $60 more than the standard kit. Why is that? Lighter, lasts longer?
4) I've got a 32 inch inseam. Anyone have any experience with whether I should go with a long or short offset if I get that kit?
5) Pictures in the catalog all show round, cylindrical pegs being used. I'd like to reuse the passenger pegs that came on my bike which I replaced with boards. It doesn't appear that you can adjust the actual angle that the pegs are attached to the mount so will this angle be OK with the flattish pegs that are standard on the FLHX?
Thanks a lot folks. I've got so much to learn!
