Ronnie's Highway Pegs
These are an OUTSTANDING product! I had a hard time spending the $291.00 for highway pegs but after you see the quality, thought, and overall engineering on these you will surely know that you made the right decision. Now be forewarned that these are not the Harley style where you will be laying back like in a recliner. They allow a conservative change of position for your knees and provide relief from the same bend that seems to cause a cramp in my right knee. The package arrived promptly after I mailed my check to Ronnie, that's right no Paypal transactions on this one. It came with excellent detailed instructions and color photos. My best advice is TAKE YOUR TIME! It is easy to get anxious because you want to see the end result but resist the temptation! There is some drilling and tapping involved but the tap is included. I took my time, read and re-read the instructions, and finished the install in about 1.5 hours. Below are a few photos of the finished product.

I do have a couple comments. First, I'll need to train my feet to be able to raise and lower the pegs without having to look down. My initial ride out on a local So Cal freeway I could not find the pegs using braille and had to take my eyes off the road a moment to find the pegs. If you ever ride on L.A. freeways, you don't want to take your eyes off the road for a millisecond. Again, i was only testing them as my main use will be for long trips on open road.
Second, with the left highway peg down and while using the shifter in the normal foot position, I tend to hit the lowered highway peg with the tip of my shoe. No biggie, I just need to get used to the peg being down and move my left foot further back .... or flip the peg back up when not in use.
Any comments from others?
Where do we purchase Ronnie's highway pegs for the C14?
I don't think there is a web site (someone jump in if I'm wrong), I purchased these for my '10 Connie and I'm very happy with them.

Murph's Lowering Pegs
I installed the Murph's Lowering Pegs prior to Ronnie's Highway Pegs. They helped with the problem that I was having with my right knee. I am not an aggressive rider in the twisties so I have not had any problem with them dragging at the current time. They are well machined and a worthy purchase. http://www.murphskits.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=130_133&products_id=401
Just put on Murphs lowering pegs last night. They help loosen up my legs, and the larger pad makes it easier to put my legs back and put my toes on the pegs. One question...I noticed you did not install the scraping pins in the end of the pegs. You not do that for clearance? I put them on, and they do stick out causing me to catch them on my pants.
I also need to mess with the brake pedal tonight to lower it. Wish they had made that at easily adjustable as the shifter!
ProjektD Passenger Lowering Pegs
I ordered these and they arrived 7 days later from Tiawan. Their communication was outstanding and very easily understood. I made the purchase on Ebay but in the future I may just deal directly with them. I was going to go with the MCL pegs but due to recent circumstances and a lack of returned email I decided against it. These pegs installed in about 10 minutes and greatly reduce the knee angle for the passenger. My initial opinion is that they are worth the $105.00 investment. http://projektd.com/product_info.php?cPath=27_39&products_id=132
