I recently installed M-Bars w/risers on my BonnieBlack. I also have short arms, short legs, and well.... I'm short. If I thought that I wanted to spend another $300.+, I wouldn't hesitate to replace my factory pegs with some rear-sets.

I think that with the addition of lower bars and rear-sets, one is more closely replicating the ergos of a natural riding position on a motorcycle.... when riding at speeds in excess of 45 mph.

The added bonus (for us short folk) is that the legs/feet hang straight to the ground without the factory foot pegs getting in the way. That is to say, it's easier to reach the ground at stop lights.

Besides...... all that fancy aluminum down there looks hella cool! :-D
