today i went for my normal 90 mile ride, last week i installed the highway pegs from lamont http://lamonstergarage.com/products/fbb.html and today was the first time i tried them out. now unless it is a miracle and my back healed over night, i had no pain with my feet extended forward on the pegs, i also found it easier in the turns on the parkway at higher speeds. i would recommend them for back suffers or taller riders to try them out

It's nice to hear that you have found Love again... ;-)

Congratulations, I hope the two of you will be forever happy together, for a very long time.

Send Lamont your appreciation too.... You happy boy. (Couple)

I need to look into some of those pegs too...

I am 6'6" and made a set of highway pegs for my RS. It is a huge relief to be able to extend my legs on a longer ride. I agree and would recommend them to anyone tall and/or with back issues.

I've had good luck with a thing called a Back-A-Line. I wear it and it works great.

What about us with shorter legs? Mine are so short they barely reach the ground (28 inseam) My problem is hip pain after about an hour of riding.

We did 394 miles yesterday...
The Missus had all of the fun that she could stand, but I was just getting warmed-up! :D

Great ride. Was wondering where you were yesterday. I had to head back to the barn after 150 yesterday because of the hip. It was a great riding day here. The leaves will most likely be in full color next weekend. The alpine meadows were full color yesterday.

Post some pictures of your color as it arrives? :2thumbs:
We're still probably a full Month away from ours... ;)

We left at 7:30 in the morning, and got home at 6:00 pm...

...Then we had to catch up on the day's football games! :D
