Need to make changes
I believe I know the temporary fix for my F3 disease. I need to get my RS into a more upright riding position for longer rides. I'm good for short jaunts in the forward leaning position but after an hour or so, it gets rough on my neck and shoulders.
I'm thinking highway pegs and 4" risers? I'll get an F3 eventually but my car payment has to go away first. ![banghead](images/smilies/banghead.gif)
Am I on the right path?

Check vendors for ESI or Easy risers 4inch in brushed alumin or same in blk ...$ 129.00 also Value accessories for them.......I wouldn't pay any more......DO NOT GET THE ONE FROM BRP.....it will not do what you want ( been there done that )......and there are a number of options for highway pegs .....again check vendors......Mike .......PS I have the only GAS DOOR that will work on the GS / RS / ST type seat

That's what I did. It makes all the difference in the world. 2 trips to CA and back to East Tennessee attest to that.
Only SLOW people have to leave on time...

Yes you are! Highway pegs and risers are the best thing you can add on a RS

I think that Spydaman60 (Chuck) put a set of Web Boards on his RS-S, and he really liked them!

Hi lbrty9,
Re: So does the installation of the easy risers impede the usefulness of the mirrors.
I have a 2008 GS and I can see just fine without mirror extensions; I have the 4 1/2" risers. A lot of the locals always seem to ask me why I don't have the extns.
I am 6 ft tall and can see OK; the extns would let me see a little more but I am not planning on making any changes.
I am not so sure of the usefullness of that photo to make a decision.

I could; but as I said before: I am not so sure of the usefullness of that photo to make a decision.
If you want a photo from some different view, just let me know & I'll try to help.

Yes, Sir, that's exactly what I'm asking for.

Thanks Jerry! Doesn't look to me like you're losing much visibility at all.

thats pretty much what i see out of my mirrors, about 1/2 but enough to see if something is there but i always do a head check anyway
