I was concerned when I bought these that I'd have to remove some critical engine part to install these.

Not Even! it was super easy and took me 30 minutes. 2 allen wrenches, 1 large flat screwdriver & a old t-shirt to cover the tip of the screwdriver...

I'm 6'2", 32" inseam and I mounted these in the full forward position. They are great, I can put my foot either on the peg or rest the back of my heel on the peg and "Air out my Junk" , absolutely wonderful!

Apparently, the color problem has been corrected as mine are "black" not purple (or so I thought but I cant tell the difference between blue and black socks, So?)

I also thought that the position looked high, but my former ride, a Suzuki Boulevard had highway pegs and I had them about the same height off the ground..

I can also open these with my boot, or by reaching down and grabbing them by hand, tried it yesterday while cruising down US23. No Problem...

I recommend this product !
