• 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.

Highway pegs for RS

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.

Thanks! Sue

Hi Sue
If you find anything let me know.... all I have found are running boards as well
Thanks Dave
 

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).

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.

Hwy Pegs

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.

Godd Luck
 
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
 
KEWLMETAL

Hi i have installed highway pegs from Kewlmetal item no KD-245 I have found them to be very good .
cheers mick:doorag:
 
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 :cus: hits the fan. :shocked:

Just sayin'...
 
Hello,

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 ;-)

Regards,
Alex

The only excitement that I need anymore, is wondering if I'm going to make it to the can on time! :shocked: :roflblack:


We'll need somebody to actually work up some forward controls for those alternate pegs! :thumbup:
 
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
