I just let my legs hang down off the pegs. The 1200 is tall enough that my boots will hover a couple of inches off the road. I'll relax and let the wind push my legs back, which gives my hips a nice stretch. On long trips, I may let them hang down for a good five minutes or more at the time. Just have to keep an eye out for anything in the road...
yep, when spending an entire day in the saddle I discovered all sorts of little contortions to keep the limbs and torso limber and prevent DVT (blood clots, granted pretty low risk given the amount of movement inherent in riding, unlike sitting on a plane). I'll stand up, sit on the pillion seat, kick the legs straight out front, park the ankles turned inward and outward. I've heard criticism of the "restrictive" nature of the seat, but I find it a nice support on hard acceleration.
same here, I've been doing this for years and it seems to work well enough. the highway pegs looks so out of place on the multi, they don't even look comfortable... :think:
I simply sit on the back seat if it becomes an issue!! Your legs stretch nicely then.
I haven't had to do that on this bike but that's a practice I did often on my other bikes. Works well if you don't have a passenger.
They are working great! They fold up and away when I don't need them, and, for the longer hauls, I can use them as forward foot "pegs" or rest my calves on them. Make it very easy to stretch out and stay comfortable.
