[QUOTE="SacramentoMike, post: 1172856, member: 11508"] I'm a big advocate of highway pegs. Not only for the variety of positions they offer you, but to get your legs out of the blast of heat once in a while. I also recommend you try alternating a single foot on the pegs for more variety sometimes. I bought a set of peg extenders a while back--Kuryakyn makes them and others may also. They have a 90o angle that puts the footpegs an inch or two forward (or down, but I think that would put them too low to the ground). The other benefit is they also move the pegs an inch or more farther out from the midline of the bike. Since we both ride '05s I know this applies to you also: the sharp edge of the fairing where your calf will press can feel pretty uncomfortable after a while. The extension lets you put your whole foot on the peg, not just on the outside edge of the peg, a much more secure and comfortable placement. By the way, I have TWO risers under my bars, stacked.
