I have not lowered them but moved them forward to reduce knee bend. For what they are worth here are the best pictures I have at the moment.
The right side is a bit extreme due to only 70 degrees bend in the right knee caused by injury. The left side is as far as i could get it, without moving the footrest out, due to the generator casing.

They already hit the floor on some corners so wouldn't fancy putting them any lower, better off making the seat higher with padding but that makes it look like a fat gimp.

I used some of those adjustable ones to get a 30mm drop, and it did lessen the pain in my knee. Trouble was, I had to turn my foot in to reach the gear lever because the pegs were set further out, which made gear changes just as painful on my knee.
I think the best option is a higher seat. I made one out of a couple of scrappers and I was much more comfortable.

90% of Harley's ever made are still on the road.
The remaining 10% made it back home.

Agree with others, I could do with a tad extra space but if you're in Menace Mode those pegs already touch down.
