I bought these to help with the pain i get in my knees after riding for more than 4 hours. Result? They work perfectly. However, after 1000 miles of riding, i installed some baker air wings and had to swap the boards over to ergo II pegs (as my shins were hitting the lower wings). But in the short time i rode with the boards, i really liked them.
I recommend taller riders purchase the 4 inch arms (i'm 6'1 and could not get comfortable with the OEM 6 inch arms)

I bought these to replace the Kuryakyn highway pegs (ergo II). I have a nerve disorder that leaves me unable to feel my feet and I kept getting the sensation that my feet were slipping off of the pegs (sometimes they really were)!
The floorboards are much better in that they have a larger surface area as well as a small lip at the heel that I can sort of 'lock' my boot-heel on. They are very comfortable and look terrific.
Downside: The wiring (lighted boards) is SO short that you'll likely have to add wire to it just to make it reach a power source. This is a drag when you see that Kuryakyn used a really nice Chrome covered wire to make it blend into the bike; c'mon Kuryakyn, splurge and add a few inches!!
The boards are EXTREMELY limited in the range of adjustments. Not the best thing for a 6' 4" guy!! Also they do not have an extension arm to move it out and away from the bike (like the ergo II set up did). That means if you're as tall as me you're going to have to get used to your legs resting against the paint (fairing).
If you're short I say buy them & don't think twice!! If you're tall; find a buddy who already has them and try 'em out.
As always; ride safe friends!!

Nice well designed product! Easy install took about 30 minutes. They feel a little awkward to me with the angles they present but a little tweeking should find the sweet spot.

Had these on for a few days and love them! I pushed the mount as far forward as it would go and mounted the arm in a horizonal position. I'm 5'10" and they feel good. My knees are bent a little when flat footed and I kick my heals up on the top of them to strech out. It's like getting two more driving postions. I love it when a product is fuctional and looks great too. These have good heavy mounts and I took it easy and didn't strong arm the mounting screws after reading some of the other reviews and hearing some have broke. We'll see how they hold up on the long haul.

A must for long hauls. I did have a problem with the lower clam brackets breaking on both sides. The folks at Wingstuff were super about sending out replacements asap. Thanks Wingstuff, I'm very pleased with you guys! The only reason for the 4 stars is that there is not a easy way to lower the highway boards without them being too close to the ground on low leaning turns. I may try the mini off sets to see how they work for us tall guys.

These are a great asset on longer hauls.
Plug and play would be really nice on these as the current wiring leaves a lot to be desired.

Very comfortable. I bought these last year and finally put them on last month. Unfornuately, these are not the plug and play style of lighted accessory that has been a wonderful thing that the 1800 owners enjoy. Also, the wire leading out from the boards is very short, measuring only a foot (if that). I ended up haveing a installer install them due to not being sure where to tap into a power source. We hooked them up to the directionals and blink in the fashion. There is also no real good way to conceal the wiring but, they are very bright and due add that nice extra side directional.

These are great, went with the lighted model. Put 4000 miles on the bike in the first two weeks if I had thess on the bike it might have been six. Sure make the long ride much easier on the rider.

I ordered the unlighted version from another site and I really like the way they look and the very simple installation. Nice and heavy too, which works well for me (I've been known to be a "peg scraper" when it comes to cornering!)
The only drawback I have is finding a comfortable position to adjust them to. I'm 6'2" and the longer standard arms just don't hit the right spot. So, thanks to the wonderful folks at WingStuff, I found and have ordered a set of the "Mini off-set" arms. These should get me to where I need to be, as well as kicking the boards out a little more so my legs don't rub the fairing as much. Will post a review for them as soon as they're installed and we return from the Honda Hoot in a couple of weeks.
Thanks WingStuff! You have garnered yet another customer!

Got the lighted ones but haven't had a chance to hook them up yet. Very easy to install. I like the Ergo II mounts better. But I might have to order the shorter arms because I'm long legged. Will ride with them for a while first to see. Definite must have for long hauls.

I am 5'-6". the adjustments are either to much one way or the other (angle of the footrest)Also I notice a bit of wind resistance if you angle them to much. I would buy the small type if I had to do it over again. Right know I keep them level and rest my heel on them.

I bought my bike used and the previous owner had these on the bike and i bet he loved them as much as i do,The matching floorboards really drees up the bike, Kuryakyn parts are the best in my book !!!

Great quality product. Although, the picture shows a different clamp than the Ergo II clamp that comes with it. The Ergo II camp has no flexibility for connection and can only go on one way. Ordered the 4.5" arm to replace the standard 6" arm that comes with it to give me more stretch room, since I am 6'3" tall.

Beautiful pegs. I got the lighted ones. Instructions could have been clearer. The pictures on the instructions suck. Had to go to another website to see different angles to make sure I was installing them correctly.

Beautiful...large area for foot, a lot of positions for comfort. Got the lighted ones, the wiring is shielded for protection but was a little short, had to add on to it. Also got the switch block for the clutch side hydraulic reservoir. Easy install both sides in under 30 min. Picking out the right angle for the arms took a little longer. Set them, ride, reset, ride till I found what I liked. Also did order the 4.5 in. arms to strech out a little more.
