    Default Highway pegs for RS

    I'm looking for highway pegs, not running boards for my RS. I've searched the forum to no avail.
    Who makes the pegs and hardward to install them forward on the RS? I'd like to no have to cut holes in my tupperware, but recognize that may not be possible. I saw Lamont's setup for the RT, but another poster asked if it would work on an RS, and was told "no".
    After my 1000 mile weekend, I'm fairly convinced the pegs would relieve hip and knee pain.

    Thanks! Sue

    I used these for 2 years before my wife took possession of her spyder. At 6'-2" with a 34" inseam, I found them more comfortable after I used some 1/4" flat bar to extend the pegs a couple inches further. They were still comfortable for me without it. My wife finds them comfortable also, and she is 5'-4".

    I have the Custom Dynamic set with the 4 inch brackets. The only cutting you will need to do is drill a hole on the bottom of the brace that holds the bottom cover, a small cut of the bottom cover where the bolts go, but you will not see it once installed. I removed these covers for more air flow, so did not matter anyway. Very nice set-up once you find the right spot, but the only draw back is you cannot put your full weight on them.010.jpg This pic shows the highway peg installed, and other shows the cover that has to have a bolt hole made (I removed them).

    I made a set for my RS. Not hard to do, didn't even have to take a panel off to install. I mounted mine to the frame using a 34 inch piece of one inch hollow steel bar. Enclosed are what mine look like. Maybe have about $20 and about 3 hrs of work. If you want more detail, let me know.

    Check out ISCI one of our site vendors. They make top quality products and have superb customer service.

    This is what I use and they are very strong.

    Now that the ST has been released and Lamont is thinking of getting one, maybe down the road he'll design a great set of highway pegs for it that may also work on the RS. That would certainly be awesome.

    Big Arm designed his own they are pretty nice. Maybe he will see this thread and chime in about them or you could PM him.

    Default Highway pegs for RS

    I have highway pegs on my RS.
    But, I got them for a song from the dealer in my town when he quit selling spyders. They were so easy to put on and I love having them. Makes it nice to move out my long legs on longer rides.

    As for that brand. I am not sure how they are or anything else. Sorry

    Now that everybody is getting all warm and fuzzy over highway pegs... take a look at the thread on brake levers and be reminded that your right foot is now going to be nowhere near where it needs to be when the hits the fan.

    Hello,

    I already considered the highway pegs from Kewlmetal since they look really strong but I'm afraid that they won't fit for me. I'm 6' 4" tall - 34" inseam.

    I alternated between two options: The footrest brackets from ESI and the highway pegs from ISCI.

    Now I found the parts from Lightning Performance - look quite strong too (similar to the ISCI parts) but I've not seen any of these mounted on a "real" Spyder GS/RS.

    I would greatly appreciate your suggestions! Pictures are very welcomed too ;-)

    Regards,
    Alex

    The only excitement that I need anymore, is wondering if I'm going to make it to the can on time!


    We'll need somebody to actually work up some forward controls for those alternate pegs!

    I have the same set up and it works out fine, once you get used to them. However, I only use them on the highway, which (of course) is why they are called highway brackets. I only mention that b/c others have mentioned your foot is not near the brake (or the shifter for SM5's). On the highway, I don't use them if I feel I'm being boxed in. JMO

    Default Re: Highway pegs for RS

    Are there any highway pegs that do not stick out so far? I have a 32" inseam and the most comfortable for me is to rest my feet on the black plastic flared part. Any further forward or wider apart, and it hyper extends my hips and knees.

    it looks like the rivco highway pegs may be what you are looking for. I'm going to purchase a set myself very soon.

    Hello,

    today I got the information from two different distributors, that the production of the highway pegs from Lightning Performance has been discontinued.

    Now I will go for the highway pegs from ISCI - the ESI footrest does not really look very stable.

    I found only telephone numbers on www.isciride.com. Does anybody know, if they have an eMail address, too?

    Regards,
    Alex

    Go with what you want but I have had the ESI hiway pegs for 3 years and they have done just fine. BTW, I weight 270 lbs.
    I will say, if you are short or of average height, the ESI pegs are probably going to be too far forward for you.
    Love my

    Statistics show that most motorcycle accidents are caused by a defective nut holding the handlbars.
