Need to raise right passenger foot rest more....

[Dan_Ashley]

I finally got the assessment from the physical therapist and orthic pro. To solve my wife's back problem, I need to raise the right hand passenger foot rest one inch higher than the adjustment on the Spyder allows. I know I could just zip tie a board to the existing footrest. But I would like something that is better looking than a zip tie-ed solution.

I have a 2012 RT-S

I hope someone can come up with a "Why don't you just...." kind of idea.

Dan,

It looks like you can unbolt the pad and add a spacer under it. If you need help making a spacer let me know.

How handy are you..!!

If there are no aftermarket ones offering greater range then I would remove the floorboard remove the rubber pad mimic the base with a 1" (your choice..aluminum, rubber, wood, plastic etc.) bolt it through the bottom and re-apply the rubber pad. This way if your passenger is other than the wife ( cousin, brother, sister, son well you get it) you just lower to even out...glad they found the solution your a duo once again...:roflblack:

Doesn't seem like they have them for sale yet. The photo of them didn't seem to compliment the Spyder looks very much. I did take a look at my RT and making a 1" spacer for under the pad is very doable.

JT,
We KNOW that you could come up with something that looks slicker than those ones do...
:2thumbs:

It's just that they're the "only game in Town..." for now!

But they are not even for sale... I did ask the OP if he wanted my help and he did not respond.

Any thoughts on how to make a good looking 4.5" spacer? Our daughters feet just sort of dangle...
