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.

Hi Sue
If you find anything let me know.... all I have found are running boards as well
Thanks Dave
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).
Is it Friday yet? ... Oh yeah, I forgot. I'm retired

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.
I have Kewlmetal with ISO Wings on my 09 GS... They are awesome I rode from Miami, Fl. to Gatlinburg, TN and i have a rebuilt ACL in my left knee no issue... Hope this helps.
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.
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.
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 ;-)

befor you serch and cant find what you need look at the front page the venders are there and have many kinds of hy, pegs,and they suport are board.i bought everthing i have from them,theres ever thing you need spyder.
I've had Kewlmetal highway brackets and Kury ISO Wings on mine for a couple if years. Love them!
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

Just sayin'...][/QUOTE]
well theyre for the highway not around town ,i have noticed that i can use the brake from them with my heel if the need arises on the highway.
just sayin
cheers mick
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.
2014 Silver Platinum ST Limited: Mods so far: fog lights, passenger backrest, ultimate seat w/driver backrest, rivco drink holder bracket with ram x-grip cell phone holder
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
