What are you guys using for highway pegs on your Interstates? I am inseam challenged so I cannot reach the front of the crash bars, so maybe something that would attach to the bottom? I have seen the Mick O Pegs, but I can not afford them. I have had spinal surgery and have some numbness and sciatica still in my right leg, so being able to move it to another location would add much needed relief on rides.
Thanks!

I have Kuryakyn pegs with offset brackets. My inseam is about 34 inches, but there would seem to be enough variation in the offset to work for most people.

ditto, these are what I have. They have a pretty good range.

Meatheads pegs are good, but 1" clamps are needed for the horizontal engine guard rails.

The best Hwy pegs for Valks are the Kuryakyn 4050s.  You can see (below link) that the clamps are really HD and will not rotate, and they are infinitely adjustable, and good for short legs, and unlike any pegs mounted outboard on the engine guards, when folded up they will not hit (or snap off) in a tip over or a fall and slide.

But, to mount them where they should be mounted on an Interstate (down low on the engine guard arm underneath), the stupid air scoops need to be cut off.  (No one has ever satisfactorily explained why they are on there to begin with.  It may have had something to do with heat and air flow.  But they are absolutely not necessary, and are cut off one of my interstates, with no issue.  Just paint the cut edges with clear coat.  The cuts cannot be seen without laying on your back.)  The 4050s can be mounted behind the air scoops (even lower), but that is not the optimal mount point.  The scoops is the reason many sites say the 4050s are not for interstate, but they work fine, with the scoops cut off.

And they will work on 1" engine guards.

But if you're really on a budget, you can get a pair of Kuryakyn Dully pegs, a pair of of Kuryakyn one inch hinged quick clamps, and a pair of clevises, and just put them on the outer sweep of the engine guards.  You do not need offsets which just make your legs go out wider.  I have them on my other interstate, and I only have a 29" inseam.  But the deal is, you cannot mount them square to the bike sticking straight out, you have to swing them back angled so they fit your legs/feet coming forward in a Y shape, not an H shape.  They look a bit crooked mounted this way, but it is the correct way for them to fit your feet; and shorter legs require more angle on the mount.

Kuryakyn does not sell any of their (cheaper) assemblies with one inch clamps, so you have to buy the parts separately (and bolt them up yourself).

One inch quick clamps:

I have just copied the quickest links I can find (to post), but you will likely find that best prices for all this stuff will be found on Amazon.  Run it up around $100, and free shipping (unless you have Amazon Prime).  Though sometimes Dennis Kirk will beat them.

Well shut my mouth, it looks like maybe you can get this as an assembly with one inch clamps (you usta couldn't)

The 4050s are much better, for $50 more, if you can cut off your scoops (no one will ever miss them).

I got that set down low and works great for me 30 inch inseam not that tall nor short only 5'10" tall though.   I found them on craigslist for 50 bucks near mint condition.  If you check craigslist a set similar like this pops up for well under 100 bucks easily used but like new condition.  Even other aftermarket ones will work fine similar to this and most are under 100 bucks on craigslist easily used.
