Sorry...should have dusted them off before taking the pics...they are pristine ...
    Steve--Before you unload these on auction, you may want to do what I did (maybe I should have mentioned this in my OP)...when I installed the Utopia rider's backrest, I adjusted it so that I would sit further forward. Generally, I like a little more forward sitting position for handling anyway. Then, with the Aero pegs in the furthest rearward position, my legs are bent which, like you, I prefer. For me, highway pegs just don't work well unless you have a rider's backrest to push against and, in this case, to move me a little forward. Hope this applies to your case as well.

    I'm with you on the "slow to action" point. I will say this though...after about 3 hours in basically the same sitting position, it sure is nice to put your feet up and change the pressure points. Having the rider backrest to lean back against makes all the difference IMHO.
