• 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.

Welcome Sledge,
Or can we call you " hammer"?? It does help to know which model RT you've got???? I made my own forward pegs and I have an RTS which has floor boards but there are suppliers here and there is always " duckduckgo.com" I'm trying to get away google.

I installed Lamonster's NBV highway pegs on my 2015 RT-S and am pleased with them. In combination a driver's backrest they allow me enough movement to make 350 mile trips a virtually painless event. BTW, I'm 76, stand 5" 11", weigh 190 and come equipped with an artificial left hip.
 
Highway pegs are available and will surely help.
I'd like to suggest floorboards as well, assuming you don't already have them.
Good luck, let us know how you make out.
 
Most all of these pegs are EXTREMELY overpriced for the benefit they provide. For $10 worth of material and a little forethought, you can build your own pegs that will last you for as long as you own your spyder. The most expensive part of the ones I made for my spyder was the rubber peg covers. $3 each.
 
ohhhh the Sledge was a stage name for many years , I am a retired Mechanic/Musician ...... and the name just kinda stuck with me .... LOL
 
I had a 2013 RT-S which has the floorboards but my highway pegs helped immensely. Being able to change my legs and pressure points on my rear kept me in the saddle. I now have a 2020 RT Limited with more expansive floorboards so I don't know if I need the highway pegs on the newer model or not.
 
thanks folks , my wife ordered me a set of Highway Pegs this evening , for Christmas..... LOL ...... but i don't get them till Christmas , but.... should be great for next summer , and thats ok .... thanks for the input on this . thank you all.

well....... the Highway pegs got here .. soon as I opened the box, there was a paper that said ( STOP ) then it said these will fit a spyder from 2010 through like 2019 , BUT they wouldn't fit a Manual Trans , and the bike had to have running boards on it.... my Spyder IS Manual Trans , and it don't have Running boards . . soooooo I am back to square 1 .......LOL
