So I see them on EBay, but what the heck is your reserve on these -- I've been popping the price up and have yet to hit your reserve. ??

Whats the price on the rear peg extenders?
-
I just finished installing these on my Spyder today and my wife loves them. They are a tight fit, but fit and look like they were OEM. Tony sent 4 pins to use with the new setup, but I used two of the originals since they were shorter and do not have the extensions showing. I also ordered the exhaust lowering bracket and installed it at the same time.

Why lower the exhaust? Are the passenger's feet to close to the exhaust after installation of the rear peg extensions?

That depends on what kind of exhaust you have on your Spyder. Let's say you have a stock exhaust. That has a pretty large can on it. Anytime your relocate the passangers feet with an extension. You will put their right foot closer to the exhaust can. In order to avoid any shoes melting on the can, or the passangers right foot getting hot, you may want to lower the exhaust. Most after market exhausts that I have seen, the cans have a much smaller diameter. So lowering the exhaust isn't really necessary.
I lowered mine exhaust (hindle) before I relocated the rear foot pegs. Only because I prefer the straight back look to the exhaust, rather than the angle of the stock position.
So, the option to lower the exhuast is entirely up to the owner of the spyder.

I get my Spyder back on Saturday. Soon after, I'll mount my Nelson-Rigg bags, and I'll know if I need these extensions.
Since, I have the Hindle; I'm hoping that I won't need to lower it for my Wife's riding boots to clear.

I could be mistaken but, I believe BRP is coming out with a heat shield for the stock pipe, that looks just like the hindle

Tony: are you still offering the exhaust lowering bracket, if needed? I didn't see that in your new auction.

The heat shield does mimic the Hindle shield and is currently available. It does two things. It helps cover up the huge stock black can and covers the burn spot. Some dealer have given it to owners as a way to address burn spot, but even if you have to pay $60 it is a nice touch. It is a little delicate to install, but it looks nice on. You have to look twice to tell it's not the Hindle, but the sound is still a dead giveaway.

Nice to know for those who have the Stock pipe. Do you have one? Have you posted Picts?

I just ordered a set of your extensions w/bracket, Tony. The Nelson-Rigg bags do make it a bit too tight for the passenger.

Just put my extensions on tonight, no issues, look good and like HD2CANAM mentioned, I will actually remove the 2 longer pins Tony sends with them and replace with 2 of the stock pines as these stick out more than I care for. The foot pegs on my spyder were pretty tight to move in and out, but a little WD40 on them and all is smooth now.

Any long term use reports on these?
I'm a bit concerned about the long lever arm on these causing failure at the stock mounting points - BRP added a rearward stub, in their extenders, bolted into the frame to pickup this torsional load, I assume, to eliminate this as a potential problem.
But I prefer the look of these over the BRP's.... Is everybody happy so far?
