[QUOTE="FJRBandit, post: 989367, member: 17365"] Hey Roller, it looks like you guys are actually discussing two separate things... the original post has to do with lowering the original pegs. He said that he also added the MCL highway pegs. Panman was referring to the lowering pegs when he said he took them off and went to the highway pegs. So he's just saying that he went back to the stock position for the rider pegs and added highway pegs. You (and ionbeam) are correct in that there is no functional difference between the MCL and Wild Bill highway pegs. Now - on to my comment on the original post. I had my knee scoped back in March and purchased the MCL lowering pegs so that my knee would have a little more extension when on the rider pegs. After a couple of months of healing I removed the lowering pegs because I found that the lowering pegs not only lower the peg but also place the foot out wider and it causes one to have to turn the foot in to apply the rear brake. It put too much pressure on my healing knee to have to twist the foot to apply the brake. I passed the peg lowers on to a forum member for a fair price. I also have the Wild Bill highway pegs. It just gives you several different combinations for foot placement and allows you to stretch out your legs a bit on long hauls. As Roller said, they easily fold up with your feet when hitting the twisties. [/QUOTE]
