What type of bars do you currently have ? Seems that on MOST standard crash bars that would put your feet and legs to high up to be really comfortable (or safe).

Best to check with your state's laws concerning the allowable distance between foot controls and "highway pegs" before putting time and effort into said project.

good point..however I like the garden hose answer.. I might just put some rubber there..108 degrees can be very very warm and I find if I put my legs up on the top of the crash bars they cool off. I have very short legs. lol.

Might also want to try bicycle hand grips - a little more stylish than the hose. They have some pretty durable ones of you go where they sell BMX and mountain bikes.
You could just slice the grip open, put a little rubber cement in there and slip it around the bar.

On my 03 classic I put the, clamp on, foot pegs on the inside of the (engine guard) or crash bar. It solves the problems of being too high for comfort and the distance law and your feet are more protected in case of slide. Its very comfortable for the long rides.

Just thinking about it again... you could put a piece of tough leather laced nicely on the back.

They make several different types of exhaust rap and they also come in a variety of colors. Btw was just wondering has anybody been cited for having their highway pegs mounted incorrectly according to your state laws, just wondering.

There is a "tape" that they use on boat trailer fenders which creates a non-slip surface. You might check it out at your local marine supply.
Second option, clamp on foot pegs that are available, folding, fit inside or outside the bar and wont look ugly or like a cobblers mistake.
