Made to fit me and the way I rest my feet. $7 of steel and some nuts and bolts. Just couldn't see $180 for basically the same thing.

We'll be going to the NON- Norcal NON- Rally the second week of sept. taking 2 days to get there. A few others are going to the cancelled rally site---- because ---- we can. Some cool little towns there and " the Avenue of the
Giants" ( redwoods that is)

Looks good.
You have the skills and created a functional work of art.
Thanks Dave. I've always been a fan of the KISS principle but I do like to have good, strong welds. Simple is beautiful.
Used them today on a ryde around Lake Tahoe. No changes needed, they work perfect.
Well a change did occur anyway. I decided to use some thick, black rubber covers on the pegs. With some foam padding they just fit perfectly --- I now have padded footrests..

Nice footrest.:2thumbs:
:coffee:....How about giving us some measurements and more pictures. How do you mount the Foot Rests on your Spyder?
I am interested in making a set.
Stay Healthy. ....:thumbup:

Really pretty simple if you work steel and are a good welder. Made out of 1/4" x 1 and 1and 1/4" steel strip. Taper the up right piece to fit a long 3/8" bolt. Cover the bolt with small diameter pipe and some rubber I had floating about the garage. I made them to fit my legs specifically.
They are attached to the factory floor boards on my RTS with 2 ea. 3/8" grade 5 bolts and nyloc nuts( washers of course). They are VERY solid, much more so that the $180.00 hyw pegs I seen on other :spyder2:'s
