thinking about getting some j-pegs for my bike i have only seen one LT at Knoxville at the toys for tots ride with them I think they were the regular size and not the larger size I didn't set on the bike so I really don't know how they feel I'am 6' tall with a 32"" inseam if anybody has any ideas it would be helpful . Thanks Scott

I'm 5' 7" and love mine.

Go for it - you'll like 'em, at least.

I'm 5'11 31 inseam. I have the JPEGS and love them as well. I got them at the dealership. I had not seen any of the others before installing them so nothing to compare.

For the price of Jpegs, I would get the mic-o-pegs...

I'm 6'3" with a 32" inseam and I have the XL Jpegs. I had the regulars on earlier LTs, but the XLs are much better for taller folks. i've had them on all 3 of my LTs and loved them on each one.

I have a 31" inseam, and the XLs were too far for me. Back to the standard and I can reach them OK. I have the J-Pegs AND the Mick-O-Pegs, and the combination really helps by giving multiple foot placement options on longer rider.

I'm 6'-9" with a 36" inseam. Picked up a set of XL's at the national, installed them myself and used them to and from CCR. Like them a Lot. They look good on the bike too. I really don't care for the look of other foot rest products. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks ScottI'm 5'10" with a 32 in inseam. I have the XL jpeg and I am very satisfied with my ability to strech. I know I would not be happy with the regular size.

Another one for MOP's, I had Highway Ottomans and really liked them but the Jpegs and Highway ottomans spread your legs out to far that the wind at speed makes you feel like your giving birth. Only negative with the MOP's is in the curves you have to raise your feet off them or you might scrape, but I only use them for the slab so no biggie. Here is a pic of where your feet are on the pegs, at about 75mph.

Gentlemen:

While gripped with the lunacy of preparing to go around the country I spent a lot of bucks on stuff for the trip.
One of the last iiiiiitems was the J pegs, I threw down about $600 by the time they were installed at Gulf Coast BMW in Fort Myers Florida.

Over the 11,000 mile trip they were worth every penny.
For those days that you do over 250 miles it really makes a big difference to have a way to kick back and put your feet up.

There is no cooler position on a big LT than to look down with your feet up and all that bike between your legs!

For the Iron butt SS 1000 I did they were crucial.

I am 6' 4 and about a 32 inseam and had to go with the XL.

Good Luck!
