Has anyone ever put highway pegs on a monster?

I ran into a Harley shop recently on a work trip to kill some time.  I sat on a flat black colored V-Rod and other than the pegs and gearshifter being towards the front of the bike it felt alot like my dark monster.  I was just curious if highway pegs could be added to it and I wonder how it would look.  Obviously they couldn't be too far forward since you have to lean forward.  The V-rod didn't have a cruiser style upright riding position.  Atleast not very much.  It had an aggressive slight forward posture.

I put on the Oberon Touring pegs, mainly because the OEM pegs were to small for my wide feet, and after an hour of riding I would get pain/cramping from my feet. The OEM peg end used to sit right in the middle of foot when riding, very annoying, so I changed to these, much better and much more comfy on long rides, they get close to the road on hard cornering, but so far I have not touched them down, I hope this helps.

Actually its more like the back of my knees are resting on the frame sliders. Not exactly comfortable but it lets you stretch your leg for a bit.

I think highway pegs would be fine, as long as you also install ape-hangers.   [laugh]
