A little over a year ago I hurt my right knee, and while I've mostly recovered I find the knee armor in my riding pants pressing down on it during long rides causes considerable pain. So I'm looking at getting some highway pegs to extend my legs and take the pressure off, and it appears for those of us who don't have Canyon Cages or something similar to mount the pegs on, Ronnie's and AST's are the only options.
I'm 6' with a 34" inseam, so I've got some questions I'm hoping those here with experience with at least one of these options can help with.
1) Are Ronnie's and AST's indeed the only options without Canyon Cages or something similar? I really like the looks of the bike w/o cages, so pegs requiring them are not an option.
2) The ASTs look like they mount further forward so along with their adjustability they might be the better option extension-wise. But can you rest the back of your legs on Ronnie's without the fairing getting in the way, or having the end of the peg dig into your calf, or spreading your legs so much that they're out in the breeze?
3) I don't have a lift so I need something that will install with the bike on the center stand. I know this is doable with Ronnie's, but the way the ASTs install appear difficult if not impossible without a lift. Has anyone installed these with the bike on the center stand?
Thanks for help with these questions.
