Having bought a new 2023 Sea to Sky 2 weeks ago, we are realizing the floor boards are much bigger and the riding position is just so much better. You def have more room forward on the floor boards...
Is there any thing that can be bolted on , swapped out etc to help the 2019 RTL? There is very little room forward, but was hoping someone has been there done that ....
2024 RT SEa To Sky ( back ahome after screen issues fixed looking forward to the BajaRon event May 1-5 )
2023 RT Sea to Sky Shadow Green ( guess what NO errors at all in 8 months of owning....)

You have the same set-up as my 14 RT, I made some from 3/16 alumin. diamond plate. bolted them to the stock pegs and the bolt that is just forward of the passenger boards ..... Mike

I have a 17RTL which is just like yours. I have the floating foot pegs from Canamspyderacessories.com
They allow me to stretch out my legs more and are easy to install. I m 5ft 9” tall with a 32 in inseam
I hope this helps you out.
So on my 2019 RTL, there are 2 small black plastic parts sitting just on front of the drivers floorboards, one on either side of the bike. I think they are part of the lower bike cover. You can see them in my pic in my sig. Resting your feet on those lightly gives you about 3 inches more room.
Just wondering if i can make some aluminium floor boards that then extend sideways 4-6 inches and then angle up and forward 6 inches to allow even more room. I think 1/8 " diamond aluminium plate would work and be stiff enough if they match the OEM floor board.
Any ideas on this ... Watcha think?
PS our 2023 S2S has waaay more room and allows enough room to stretch out the legs...which is what im after. Really dont like the 2019 RTL driving position with the "jockey" type position.

Older thread, but still - remember that the righthand floorboard has a break-away/drop down feature for heavy braking, which should not be impeded. I have two sets (different styles) of highway pegs, it anyone needs a set. Here is a picture showing the best highway pegs.

I do not know the brand, as they were on the Spyder when I purchased it. Make me an offer and pay the shipping.
These attach to the body of the Spyder not the running boards. Which is very good in my mind.
I have a set of ones that mount to the running boards, and I modified the right one to fold back if the running board had to do it's breakaway thing. They are available also.
