I've got the brackets - just waiting on the pegs - but I'm a bit concerned with the location.

I'm only 5'7 - so I'm a bit worried those pegs will be a bit far out for someone who is vertically challenged like myself.

There are other options.

Looks great Phil, what size bolts and nuts did you have to use to fasten the plate on the bottom?

Thanks. I ordered the brackets last night so getting anxious.

Just ordered the mounting brackets and foot pegs. Should make the longer trips much more comfortable. I'm 6'6" and sometimes get a little cramped with my legs bent all the time. Now the only thing I need to find is a taller windshield that doesn't look like crap when you put it on the Spyder.

Did you try Marcel July site http://www.fairingsc...orcycle_Wix.htm You tell him your height, what speed you normally drive and he designs a windshield for you. I ordered mine this morning and it takes about 6 days to make and then shipped to you. His design is wind tunnel tested so they work very well. Marcel is very eager to please so if you have a question or a problem he will work with you to solve it. The windshield is $119.95 US plus shipping. To ship to me in Canada is only $36 which is a bargain compared to other items I have purchased. The price is going up after April 15th to $149.95, I assum because of the ever increasing price of oil and oil byproducts.

Hay Marc could you shink these posts so you don't have to scan back & forth to read them? Would be nice. Thank you.

Thought I might add my personal experience with this mod.

Be prepared to remove just about every cover.

The Floor Pans that LAMONSTER talks about are plastic.
These are the Pans that need notches placed in them in order to clear
the nuts used to mount the Hwy Peg brackets.
I decided to use a Hole Saw, 7/8 inch in diameter.
Worked out pretty well, nice, neat job. No one will ever see
it but still a nice clean look to it. Almost factory, I'de say.

Over all, not a bad mod to perform. I needed about 90 minutes but I'm slow.

Yup ! Alas the mighty hand brake. Sounds good to me.

Those pegs look great. My brackets are on order. As far as the stopping reaction, I wont use them All the time or in heavy traffic.

Hi Putt-Putt. You mentioned floor boards earlier in this post. Boy Oh Boy do I wish someone made them for the Spyder. I my observations I would think mounting below the shifter and brake would only mean lifting your toe to upshift and lifting your foot to downshift, same for the brake, just lift the foot and hit it like in the DVD that BRP gave out in their testing of the ABS brakes. I wish someone could fabricate some floor boards as I know mounting them securely is an issue.

[Putt-Putt]

I'm sure someone will make floorboards for it
just a matter of time. I would like to have a set
maybe for passenger too if they will fit.

Great pictures. Thanks, his will help the install. Not mention of the extra hole and I know it is optional but just wonder about Flex. The frame is thin and the brackets can only do so much. Someone has mentioned flex but I just wonder if the extra hole helps??

I thankyou again for those pictures and I also drilled the plastic pans on both sides. 2 hours for me to put in. I only find my legs are out to far or should I say the pegs are to wide apart for me. I also founf that draining the oil is going to be tight. Just enough room for a socket to get at the drain bolt of the reservoir.
