Hi,

I am a pretty good size fellow @ 6'3" 265lbs and with a 34" inseam. I'm know there are a lot of guys taller than I am.

My question is there any way to change riding positions? Right now it has the wing peg. I am looking at the engine guard, do they make a peg to put on it? I've got to stretch out some, I'm just tooo cramped!

Thanks,
Newbie

Plenty of options for Highway pegs on a Valkyrie.
Just remember that the Valk engine guard is 1 1/8" when you buy a clamps & peg set up. cooldude
I am one of those weirdos that LOVES the "feet underneath me" riding position of the Valk & I rarely use my highway pegs. The wife is opposite, she uses her front mounted highways all the time. She also has the Cobra floorboards instead of the stock pegs which is another option you can use.
Forward controls are also available for the Valk if you are so inclined. Wink
Everyone is different, make your Valk fit you!

I like the Kury4050's too.  Although I like them clamped to the engine guard itself.  I have the short arms on mine, and would neved be able to get them far enough away clamped where those are. 

I need another set of 4050's if you know where there are a set cheap.

I need just the right peg and that mounting clevis thing that looks like this:



Anybody got either of them? I want to use them as the brake pedal on my forward controls...

I use the Rattlebars peg relocate kit.  I am 6'3" and 34" inseam also.  This mod did the most for me of anything else.  I also put on Cobra floorboards and Showchrome pullback risers.  Both of which were improvements.

I have a set of the Kur 4050 foot pegs with 4 1/2" arms I could save you some $$ over the price of new. Bottom side of pegs has some scrapes.

Also have a nice set of Cobra driver boards and the rattlebars relocation kit I would make someone a deal on.........sold bike and have a box of leftovers  Wink
