They measured out at 1 inch lower at the sole of the foot, and about one and a quarter inch lower on the underside without the feeler peg on the stock peg. Comparatively, the lowering bracket version is about another half inch lower, giving more leg room and a less acute knee angle. The Buell pegs don't have that slightly off center, bent kind of feel I always noticed with the bracket version. Other than feeling the vibration a bit more due to the lack of rubber, they feel just the same in angle and spacing away from the bike as the stock ones. But they also give more foot room being overall longer (wide -away from the bike center line) than the stockers.
One little benefit is that compared to the lowering brackets, the pegs scrape less at significant angles. Even the stockers take a chewing, but the Buellers, although more chewed than the stockers, are significantly less vulnerable than the lowering brackets.
So, relief to some extent with just about the same overall lower edge at the original pegs. I like them, but they change my hip angle much more than even the lowering brackets seemed to do when using them. I suspect it's just a matter of getting used to them. And along with Larry Buck's touring pegs, I should have enough to stretch out and tuck up the legs when the going gets going. :-)
Oh, one other thing. Since the Buellers are nothing but metal, and are wider than stock, the sharp edge created by quickly wearing away the bottom of the peg just begs for fresh blood. Almost every time I work on my bike, car, washing machine or anything mechanical, I get bitten. These are just the teeth on the beast. Duck walking backwards is the most hazardous, but even washing the bike is like playing Russian Roulette. The gouge on my shin is a reminder this evening of just how sharp those teeth are!
