I recently bought a 2013 Spyder RS SM5. First, I know these models' parts are hard to come by when they are not OEM. Shortly after getting used to it from a standard softail motorcycle, I realized it felt like I was riding a street bike. This was causing pain in my neck and upper back. I have long legs, and I felt extremely cramped up. So, I upgraded a few things on the Spyder.
It has me sitting in a more upright seating position.
My question is, I have looked everywhere for an extension for the foot shifter, but I can't find anything anywhere. Does anyone know of any company that sells an extender or even a heel toe shifter to move the shifter forward about 2 or 3 inches?
I was even thinking of having one fabricated but wanted to see if there is one, I could purchase. I have not found anything after weeks of searching, just ones that were sold long ago.
Becoming a pain to keep having to kick my foot back to shift.
Any help would be appreciated.
