Is adding highway pegs & handlebar extensions?

[EBNewsome]

Looking at a 2011 RSS for my hubby. He's a longlegged person, that will need highway pegs and handlebar extensions to be more comfortable. Its it worth buying the RSS, or wait for a good deal on an F3?

Choices.....

Depends who you ask...most here will tell you to go for the F3 others who love the 998 V-twin will tell you to go for the RSS. Honestly if you are just starting out and have no rush the F3 would be a better bet and there are good deals now and getting better. You can test them both and see which is best suited....its all in the test ryde...:thumbup:

EXTENSIONS / RISERS

:congrats: & :welcome: .... You can attach 4 to 5 inch Risers on the handle bars to make your ride Uber comfortable .... I don't think anyone is making them anymore except for the Heli-bar type ( very expensive ) .... I discovered that a company ( RSI ) makes risers for Sno-mobiles that will work really well and are actually much stronger then the ones that were made for the Spyder ..... PM me if interested in going this route and I can tell you which ones I'm talking about .... Maybe someone here can/will post links to Pics of them on memebers Spyders .... just so this lady can see what I'm talking about , thanks ............ Mike :thumbup:

My story may help you decide ... tho my issue is short, not tall - but it all applies

Started out with a used 09 RS, weight on wrists & sore back/shoulders so added bar risers, changed seat etc etc

Traded for a used STL, much better ergonomics, but sore hip issue got worse. Added Tri axis bars which helped enormously

Husband bought f3s 15 - I waited almost a year before having a long ride on one of our favourite rides

I had a feeling it could be an expensive ride

Jeff then bought a Daytona (traded the st) and I am soooooo happy - I have the red 15 f3s now

F3 advantages are the ease and cheapness of changing bars and pegs/boards to suit different heights and riding styles.

Other things like half the servicing and 25% greater fuel range help too...

Oh and it suits me way better - sitting in not on means those great twisty rides are even better...

Did you see the SALE post by cummingj? Looks like a great deal...

Rivco Products still make a reasonably priced ( $199 USD)bar riser. Fits manual and auto. https://rivcoproducts.com/shop-by-m...ers-for-can-am-spyder-rs-and-rs-s-models.html
