I was never comfortable on my GL-1800 as I was on the GL-1200 and 1500, until I installed these Mini Arms. I have a 32" inseam and they fit perfect for me. Have tried many different pegs that didn't feel right.

Oh yah. I'm 6'2" and wished my highway pegs fit my long legs better. This did the trick. I really like the fact that on tight corners, with a lot of lean, the footpegs don't scratch the pavement. That always gave me quite the startle. It would be great if you could buy the highway pegs with the mounting included rather waste money on the long arm type that come with the pegs. Took about 15 minutes to install.

Wow ! What a difference these arms make. Perfect length for taller riders.

Rather than two thumbs up, I'm giving this product ten toes up! One of the few Kury products that I really like.

I just returned from a 100 day, 15,000 mile circuit of the US (http://www.darnton.ws/~USA_2009_Motorcycle_Tour/) with Kury Ergo II pegs and these arms. I am 6'6" with 33" inseam, and the longer 4" or 6" arms bend my knees back too much. These are as perfect as pegs can be on a GL, given that the fairing edge digs into your leg and forces a slightly bow-legged posture - but that's not the pegs' fault! Though the instructions say NOT to install the arms rotated to any position below horizontal, I started with mine rotated back and 45 deg down, then went to 90 deg down during my trip. That position gave me much better leg extension and did not cause any ground interference even in fairly hard cornering (sometimes I left the pegs down in corners because they'd touch pavement first, before the arms, and I'd hear them. Of course, if you're a sport-biking knee-dragger you could dig the arms right into the asphalt in this position, to your very great surprise, but if you're a knee-dragger you wouldn't have these pegs on your bike anyway, right?) These arms get five stars. Unless you're pretty darn short, IMO you're gonna wish you had these, so just buy them in a set with the Ergo II package.

I had to purchase these because I guess I am a little taller. I LOVE them, I can strech my legs out and become comfortable. I am on my bike every day and this is a great investment in comfort. I wish I could have ordered them in the package instead of ordering them extra.

When I purchased my bike used, it already had a set of highway pegs installed with the standard length arms. They were useless to me as I am 6'2" and the position was just not comfortable at all. After switching to these Mini Arms, I actually use my highway pegs. Great improvement for a taller rider.

I installed these per the installation instructions and did not like them! The instructions said these mini-arms were designed to be installed with the peg bolt at the twelve o'clock position! Yuk!! Pegs were too high and very uncomfortable! I began to experiment and found the happy median for my 6'2" frame with the peg bolt at the seven oclock position. Ahhh! Perfection!
These are typical Kuryakyn as they are heavy duty, nicely chromed, and look very nice. Good investment.

I did use the highway boards before I bought these then got the switchblade ones but the only thing that was missing was my foot did not rest correctly but after reading Michael and Sawdust57 review I cut the sleeve with a Dremel tool and now my feet with the highway boards are in the correct position that my feet should be in for going around fairing. Five stars to you two guys

Being 6’4” I have need as much leg room extension I can get. These extensions allowed me to adjust the peg out and up to give me the leg room I need and the ground clearance I require.

I must appologize for my previous review of the Kuryakin Mini-Arms. In failing to read plain english - I failed to notice that it does not fit my application. Although the design of the ERGO II products are similar, the physical application is different. It can be made to work with the addition of a spacer (to compensate for the difference in wall thickness)

The Mini Arms look and work well. I am 6'2" and they do make quite a difference in my ability to stretch out for greater comfort. It is too bad that these were not offered from Kuryakyn as an option for taller people when I bought the Highway pegs originally.

Totally disapointed with Kuryakin products. Why should the customer have to re-engeneer their products to make them fit their own product line? I got the mini arms for my ERGO II Highwayboards, with the understanding that they would fit out of the box - wrong answer! The product looks identical to the other arms, but the inner wall thickness is much smaller - requiring the inner bushing that I had to get after the fact. A little more thoughtfulness on their part (Including the 15 cent bushing in the package), would make less disgruntal customers. Too late for me.... I had to go through the "School of Hard Knocks"! It's not what you pay for, It's what you get for your investment that counts.

Fantastic! Beigh 6'4", the shorter arms allow me to stretch out for a much more comfortable ride. I agree too that there is too much loctite and is very hard. Only wish you could buy the shorter arms with the footpegs. I have the long arms to use a paper weights now.

Well made and solid, only problem was tigtening the highway peg to the arm. Too much loctite on the replacement bolts, Kury said to cut it or file it off, too much was applied and it hardened and shouldn't have. Once the excess loctite was removed the pegs seated and tightened down very easily. Big improvement, have room to stretch out my legs without having to wrap my legs around that extra piece of fairing getting in the way as the arm is angled outwards for an easier reach to the pegs. 4 stars because of the loctite issue.

What a difference! I'm a little disappointed that they didn't offer some sort of exchange for the longer arms. They were completely worthless for me with the long arms. Fit real good now though! Good product!
