Do any of y'all have highway bars on your bike? I know they help protect the bike if it's ever dropped, but some say they can be used for comfort, as well, and allow you to stretch out your legs. I looked it up on the net, and I see how some have the built in foot-pegs. Mine don't, and with the angled bend of the tubing at the bottom, I really don't have enough room to put my feet there, or else they are rubbing against some exhaust pipes. (I learned that on the road when I started smelling a little burnt rubber!) Am I the only one with that problem? Are these bars for protection only?
