• 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.

Good morning spyder lovers I am fairly new to this site. I just sold my Vulcan 1500 now I ride a 2012 spyder RTS limited I am 6’1” tall looking for some extra leg room. Any recommendation on which highway bars will work on this bike? Thanks

You have the Seal Floorboards on the bike. Very good product. At the end, where they slant upwards, that is meant to be your extended foot rest area. I haven’t seen all of them, of course, but all of the highway pegs I’ve come across mount right there where that area of the floorboard is. They would interfere with each other. Maybe all you might need is to fashion a heel rest about halfway up that area in order to give you a little longer leg extension. Nice ride. Good luck.

My home made hwy pegs attach to the floorboards of the RTS. Yes I had to drill holes.

:congrats::welcome::popcorn: yup those are seal boards :firstplace: should probably hold on to those ( no longer available). If you still need further stretch reach maybe consider a modified seat:dontknow: FYI 6’3” here with stock floorboards & different seating position on the STL; have considered pegs & missed out on Seal boards; longer trips just find myself stop& stretch few more times-maybe walking lap at gas stops. :lecturef_smilie: Putting feet out far enough to touch/rest on front fenders (yes possible) however any rock stuck bottom of not will obviously damage as well as foot too far from brake pedal :sour. Each their own in the end. Believe you may just need find that comfy spot as you adjust to the bike.
 
I have the same set up as you do on the same year. I am 6'2". When I put my feet on the tops of my Seal Floorboards my legs are at a comfortable stretch for me
