So I have had my 2008 gs for about a week now, and can't seem to get my right knee to fold into the required angle comfortably. I am wondering if anyone has info on footpeg lowering kits or possibly a kit to move pegs forward? Obviously shifter and brake pedal need to move as well.... Love the bike, quick, shifts smoothly, fun to ride, but I worry I won't be able to brake as quick as I need with knee uncomfortable. Thanks for any info. Dan

There are lots of options. Check under shopping on heading for site sponsors. There are highway pegs as well as running boards that you can put on your spyder. Use google as well. Seal Floorboards makes some nice running boards. The ridng position does take some getting used to. Another thing that may make your ride more comfortable are handlebar risers.
Welcome to Spydertalk and congrats on your new spyder. Ride safely and have fun.
