I did my first long ride yesterday and my feet / leg position got uncomfortable after awhile. Someone need to make highway pegs for the Ryker.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
First long ride. Needs Pegs.

Do you have the pegs adjusted all the way forward?

Yes I did, Wish they went more forward.

Ill have to look into these, not a big fan of floorboards. But can not be any worse then the stock pegs.
How long was that ride? I'm riding mine back home from the dealer, right at 500 miles. That is not a particularly long ride for me and I was more worried about the seat (taking my AirHawk with me!)

When I first got my Rally I tried the pegs full forward. Within 30 minutes my right knee tried to lock up. I would get off and hobble around for a few minutes, the pain would go away, and I could walk normally. I then tried the pegs in the middle position -- same issue. Finally I moved the pegs back into the full rear position and assumed a racer crouch -- even worse. After about a month of this I set the pegs full forward again but set my brake pedal more upright. Then I moved my feet to the outboard position on the pegs with my knees against the tank (kind of knock knee'd. For some reason my knee problem went away; I can ride for hours. I can't explain it other than now I put my foot further forward on the peg with my toes up and rotated away from the bike a few degrees. Oh, and it is easier to get good pressure on the brake pedal in that position.

I get what you're saying. I go about 6'2" and feel like if the pegs were inch or two lower and an inch or two forward it would be all good. Was thinking about the floorboards but not sure if they would fix the inch or two lower problem? Let us know when you find something that works.

Just my opinion but you do NOT want highway pegs on a Ryker. I have them on my Spyder but do not use them after a scare I had. If you have them on a bike (2 wheel) and using them and a car or deer or something cuts you off, you have the handbrake to hit instantly. With the Spyder/Ryker, you travel a long distance by the time you get your foot off the highway peg and feel around looking for the brake! Will scare the s#%t out of you, just like the first time (if you're used to a 2 wheeler) you need to stop quick and you instinctively reach for the hand brake and there's nothing there! Ryker might not be quite as bad with regular pegs to where my RTS has floorboards, but … I know I'll probably get a lot of grief from the Spyder guys but remember this is just MY OPINION.

Hyaluronic acid injections sometimes helps knees.
Too bad that a company doesn’t make a slip on rubber to work on the stock pegs. cueman
