Looking for Highway pegs- reccomendations?

I'm trying to figure out which highway pegs to get for my 2012 Vaquero. I'm 5'8", long in the leg, and I find after a while when I'm cruising, the floorboards make my knees/calves hurt.
Would the ones mounted to the highway bars be better, or the floorboard mounted ones? Which part numbers do I need? Anyone care to share what they have and how they like them?
Thanks in advance,
Archer

I am interested as well. I have been looking at bar mounts for a while now

I have the Kuryakyn Black Long Horn offset pegs for 1.25" (1 1/4") bars.
Work well attached to the crash bar.
They are positionted in such a way that I can rest my heel on the florr board and toes on the highway pegs. Or, full out on the pegs.
For me, shifting to the toe-heel combination is often the most comfortable.

Ride safe,
Smokier

Those are the best option, I have the black ones to
Match my powder coated crash bars

Kuryakyn Tour-Tech might be a better option for someone of your height. They have a longer offset than the Longhorns and curve around the lowers somewhat better. Smokier is correct-mount them so you can rest your heel on the OEM floorboard and toes on highway peg. Gives you another position for comfort. I have Tour-Tech on a Voyager even though they are more marketed for the Harley crowd.

The Tour-Tech are more adjustable, too. I have them and I use them as Smokier described. I'm 6'3" and old () so I like to be able to move my feet around; on the floor board to heal on board and toe on peg, to full on the highway peg, rinse, repeat.

I have Mustang seat and couldn't reach Longhorns and went with Tourtechs. I am also using Kuryakyn floorboards.

I use the Kuryakyn Dually ISO pegs with adjustable offset. As stated above, mine are mounted on the engine guard where I can place my heel on the floorboard, or my foot completely up on the pegs.

I have the Longhorn Offset Dually Highway pegs on my 2013 Voyager. I'm 5' 8". It took a little while to get them adjusted but they work great.

Smokier, you have pics so I can see exactly what you are talking about?
I have the same pegs, but damn if I can figure out how to mount them so I can comfortably reach! I'm 5-10, but need to stretch my legs more than I like to reach them.
