Lifting 2021 RT
I want to lift the rear of the new RT to give me better access to spray the bushes (the RT bushes, not the garden bushes ) as I am getting some serious squeaking as I mount the RT. Am I correct that I can lift it as I did the 16 F3? I.e. Harbour Freight type, 2 arm, lift, position around the mid length of the Spyder, under the chassis bar, to lift the whole RT. Yes. I will have jack stands front and rear before I get under it.

You can use the HF jack you have. The balance point is at the end of the square center frame member. Watch out for reverse solenoid on the left side.

Haven’t changed much yet, Stangman.
If I have the size 15s right up the front of the boards, my knee angle is around 90degrees, which isn’t bad (nothing like the F3-L, but reasonably comfortable)…..I thought Lamont’s BD Highway pegs would give me more room……wrong. They are very well made, but they sit right next to the boards, so I can no longer have my feet all the way forward over the board edge. Plus, with my knee angle at 90, my feet are flat on the boards up front, so I can’t angle my foot up to use the pegs anyway. I imagine they would help someone who is 6’ pretty well……but a 34” inleg is fairly long.
I’m getting Helibars for the arms, but the only way I am going to get extra leg room is to have Russell Daylong modify a seat to be say 2” taller and 1” longer. I tried pumping an old Airhawk pad up to maximum, and it lifted me 2”, and the difference was amazing. I’m getting used to the brake pedal, but I have a mate who is a machinist who is looking at lengthening the pedal arm for me.
Sorry I can’t be much help

Thanks Peteoz, was thinking about Lamont's highway pegs and/or the floor boards, but was concerned that either/or would restrict my leg stretch. Staying with the OEM for now.
