Pegs/floorboard Modification so passenger would not need to bend knees back

[CaptRalph]

My wife had knee surgery about a 1-1/2 years ago but her knee never healed perfectly. Sitting on the Spyder as a passenger, causes her pain due to having to bend the knees back. I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to locate someone who fabricates some kind of mod (longer front pegs, a floorboard between front and back pegs, etc.) I saw a pair of floorboards on a Youtube video titled Custom Spyders. Those would certainly do the trick. Any info where I can turn to it would be appreciated. Thanks, CaptRalph

How about something like this? I saw this particular Spyder at The Homecoming this summer. The owner made these floorboards himself and the idea is very simple. I have seen a few other pictures posted here that used a similar concept. Find a local machine shop or metal shop who could do something like this for you.

I've seen this picture a couple of times, and just realized that's a heel-toe shift lever!

I think there may have been some other pictures of a very similar looking floorboard setup without changing to the heel toe shifter. I'm just too lazy right now to search the forums to look for those posts / pictures.

Looks like getting to the parking brake would be a pain ............

From what i hear most SM5 owners don't even use the parking brake. I wish i didn't have to use it on my SE5 seems like that thing needs adjusting atleast once a month lol
