Jimbob66 Posted July 22, 2013 Share #1 Posted July 22, 2013 I have a recently new to me 2007 Midnight Venture in my garage. I have to say this bike is very comfortable. However, I'm 6' 5'' and I need to stretch my 36 inch inseam on longer rides. I get some kind of strange hip cramp that wont go away without standing up or stretching. With that said .. I want to install a set of highway pegs to stretch out on. I want them as far forward as is possible. Any suggestions? Anything I should be aware of? The ones I'm looking at are not cheap. Trial and error is not an option here and I don't want to reinvent the .. peg so to speak. Any input would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dacheedah Posted July 22, 2013 Share #2 Posted July 22, 2013 lots of nice pegs out there for the 1" bars, look for something that is adjustable http://www.kuryakyn.com/Products/462/Adjustable-Tour-Tech-Cruise-Mounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob66 Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted July 22, 2013 My question is which ones go forward the most ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eusa1 Posted July 22, 2013 Share #4 Posted July 22, 2013 I'm 6'6" with 38 inseam i purchased the kuryakn longhorn offset mounts and 1" clamps and have floorboards mounted to them. You can install pegs or boards of your choice on the same mounts. You should get some crash bar support brackets from "carbon one" a member here. They will save your lowers from damage and give you better mounting support. Mike:cool10: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragtop69gs Posted July 22, 2013 Share #5 Posted July 22, 2013 Just get some roller skates, stretch out and let them 36's roll along ahead of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob66 Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share #6 Posted July 22, 2013 I was checking out the kuryakn longhorn'$ and thought those may be for me. Now to convince the wife I "need" them I will check into the crash bar support bracket. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dacheedah Posted July 23, 2013 Share #7 Posted July 23, 2013 tell her we said U need them, do u have pegs for her? Love goes both ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playboy Posted July 23, 2013 Share #8 Posted July 23, 2013 Doesn't the longhorn mounts mount to the same clamp as a set of pegs ? Point being you could purchase the pegs and clamps and install the Longhorns later if needed to spread out the cost. I'm 6'3'' and pegs and clamps work fine for me. You know spreading out the cost sometimes helps smooth it over with the wife. I know what your talking about with the hips but I haven't had that problem on the RSV.

Bubber Posted July 23, 2013 Share #9 Posted July 23, 2013 I have the Longhorns on mine and they are infinitely adjustable. Being 6 foot not 6' 5" makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
