Is adding highway pegs & handlebar extensions?
Looking at a 2011 RSS for my hubby. He's a longlegged person, that will need highway pegs and handlebar extensions to be more comfortable. Its it worth buying the RSS, or wait for a good deal on an F3?

Choices.....
Depends who you ask...most here will tell you to go for the F3 others who love the 998 V-twin will tell you to go for the RSS. Honestly if you are just starting out and have no rush the F3 would be a better bet and there are good deals now and getting better. You can test them both and see which is best suited....its all in the test ryde...

EXTENSIONS / RISERS

My story may help you decide ... tho my issue is short, not tall - but it all applies
Started out with a used 09 RS, weight on wrists & sore back/shoulders so added bar risers, changed seat etc etc
Traded for a used STL, much better ergonomics, but sore hip issue got worse. Added Tri axis bars which helped enormously
Husband bought f3s 15 - I waited almost a year before having a long ride on one of our favourite rides
I had a feeling it could be an expensive ride
Jeff then bought a Daytona (traded the st) and I am soooooo happy - I have the red 15 f3s now
F3 advantages are the ease and cheapness of changing bars and pegs/boards to suit different heights and riding styles.
Other things like half the servicing and 25% greater fuel range help too...
Oh and it suits me way better - sitting in not on means those great twisty rides are even better...
Did you see the SALE post by cummingj? Looks like a great deal...
