Good morning spyder lovers I am fairly new to this site. I just sold my Vulcan 1500 now I ride a 2012 spyder RTS limited I am 6’1” tall looking for some extra leg room. Any recommendation on which highway bars will work on this bike? Thanks

You have the Seal Floorboards on the bike. Very good product. At the end, where they slant upwards, that is meant to be your extended foot rest area. I haven’t seen all of them, of course, but all of the highway pegs I’ve come across mount right there where that area of the floorboard is. They would interfere with each other. Maybe all you might need is to fashion a heel rest about halfway up that area in order to give you a little longer leg extension. Nice ride. Good luck.

yup those are seal boards should probably hold on to those ( no longer available). If you still need further stretch reach maybe consider a modified seat FYI 6’3” here with stock floorboards & different seating position on the STL; have considered pegs & missed out on Seal boards; longer trips just find myself stop& stretch few more times-maybe walking lap at gas stops. Putting feet out far enough to touch/rest on front fenders (yes possible) however any rock stuck bottom of not will obviously damage as well as foot too far from brake pedal :sour. Each their own in the end. Believe you may just need find that comfy spot as you adjust to the bike.

I have the same set up as you do on the same year. I am 6'2". When I put my feet on the tops of my Seal Floorboards my legs are at a comfortable stretch for me
