REAR FOOT PEGS TOO LOW

[bandwagon]

Since adding the Corbin bags, my wife is having problems with the lowered peg position. Corbin replaced original position in order to acommodate their bags. Wife is now on her toes and using her knees putting the clamp on me just trying to keep from sliding. I was wondering what was happening back there. As she complained about her legs hurting, I had know idea that she was using her toes just to reach the pegs. Question is there a way to fix this problem? Does anyone sell some sort of riser that can be bolted in for height?

A funny (at least to me) picture came into my mind of those wooden blocks that they used to sell to put on kid's pedals on trikes so the short legged kids could reach. Seriously, I don't know exactly how the footpegs mount onto Corbin's bracket but there are some footpeg extension brackets made for various types of pegs and mounts, from various aftermarket companies. Maybe something like that could work for you guys.

Get her some of those really thick soled boots like Herman Munster had.

Got the same set-up and for the oppisite reason ( wife has long legs ) we ordered Kuryakyn Rear Peg Adapters part # KUR-8848. Now you have to grind a small amount of the peg mount bracket from Corbin to make them work (make the hole in Corbin bracket line up with Kuryakyn peg adapter )and if you install them upside down they will raise stock peg about 1 inch and move it back about an inch. Now if you order Kuryakyn Widow pegs the width of these pegs will push the peg back about another 1 to 2 inchs for a total 1 inch rise and 2 to 3 inch back towards hard saddle bags. Sponser Direct Parts sells these.:thumbup:

This is my set up for the rear pegs all from Kuryakyn

peg adaptor #8816 with a 1/4 inch shim from a 1x1 x1/4 aluminium angle
adjustable lockable offset # 4559
The adjustable 4 inch offset gives you a 360 degree option.
It's not easy to find parts for a spyder most of them we have to adapt.

Hope it will help.
