• 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.

New to the Spyder world.

I've been lurking around the forums for a couple months now. Back in September I bought a 2014 rss se5 with 2500 miles in pearl white. I've always wanted to be able to ride a motorcycle ever I was a little kid. But being a little person I knew that it wouldn't be possible with out a bit of added costs. The day that I saw the spyders come out 10 years ago I knew that it all changed for me and have wanted a spyder ever since. Now that I have a spyder I have a whole new sense of freedom on the open road.

I've been reading a lot on here about different mods that you all have done and they have helped. I changed the rss bars out for the rt bars. Doing that helped a lot with my riding position. I can ride the spyder the way it is now but would like to make it a little bit more comfortable. I've been reading and looking at the foot pegs and floor board kits from the vendors here but they all go the wrong way for me. I would like to find something I can do that would raise the foot pegs and brake pedal up about 2 inches. If a floorboard kit would do this that would be even better.IMG_20170928_205210_696.jpg

know idea

I just wanted to say :welcome: however I have no info, on your foot peg question / brake pedal.

Not a bad idea on changing out your handle bars to the RT model bars.

Enjoy the new (to you) Spyder they are a blast :2thumbs:
 
Welcome, welcome 👍

To both the spyder world and this one of a kind site....great choice...:2thumbs: I have not seen anything you are looking for. Most in that respect have been for the passenger but not the driver. It would have to be a custom type mod because of the controls. In your case only the foot brake pedal. Should not be that hard to find a way to raise the peg or floor board and modify the pedal. You will find a solution the easiest would be some machined blocks to raise the pegs up and a block to bolt onto the brake pedal....:dontknow:
 
:welcome:and :congrats:on your spyder. I haven't seen any current mods that address your problem. What Chupaca suggests might be the way to go. Dale
 
I know that Count's Customs in Las Vegas modified a Spyder for a little person. It was on one of their shows. You might give them a call and see if they can give you some ideas. He still rides around Vegas. Haven't actually seen the bike but there was a picture on Facebook about a month ago.

Hi, Welcome to our Spyder world. I saw my first RS SE5 in 2008 and it changed my world also. I would invite you to check out my website. I show a beautiful White RS SE5 with my Seal Floorboards on it. A great shot from one of my customers. The Floorboards are long enough to move you feet forward or back. The brake is raised about 1 1/2" above the Floorboard, and slightly forward. It's a very easy grab with your toes or heel. Check it out, I'm having a great holiday sale right now. I know we have a number of little people who ride Spyders with great success. I've sold several sets to them. Good luck and,
Ride i comfort,
John
