:welcome: I'm sure that an SE-5 would solve the right side issue... and if you can't reach the brake pads, ISCI makes the hand break system, so it might work for full braking on the handlebar.;)

Good luck!!

My wife is 5 foot and has had no problem riding my 2008 GS :spyder2:. It is an SE5 so no foot shifting is needed. We have the Corbin seat and she can easily reach the brake pedal. She is much more comfortable on it than she was on her Yahama. You should be fine, height wise.

My wife is 5'1", and has no problem on either the RS or the RT. Adding ESI risers helps on the RS, but is not essential, if you don't mind leaning.

Good luck with your search for a Spyder.

My wife is 4'11" and has trouble holding up a two wheeler and now she has put 19,000 miles on her Spyder in the last two and a half years.

I am 5'5" and have no problems reaching the brakes. The SE5 is semi auto so no foot shifting and only one foot brake for all three wheels. Would suggest the Utopia backrest as it helps with the support. Have fun with it as it is a great ride!:yes::ohyea:

I am also 4'11 and have no problems with my RS.. love it! I had a 2 wheeler and just didn't feel very safe... that is not the case now! :2thumbs:

Gotta throw my 2-cents in......my wife is 5'1" or 2" and never felt secure on two wheels. She has an RT-AC SE5 and has put over 5,400 miles on it since the first of the year. She absolutely LOVES it - - so will you!! :2thumbs:

My wife is 5' and she can reach everything just fine. For that matter, I'm just under 5' 4" and it had got to the point that I had trouble holding up my BMW so that's why we are on a Spyder.

I am just over 5 feet tall and ride a Sypder with no problems. I did install the handle bar risers sold by custom dynamics as the stock handle bars required me to lean too far forward to be comfortable on long rides. With the risers, I now sit upright and am very comfortable.
