Forward controls, crash bars, stock pegs...

[Bigjaype]

i'M 6'6"...I find my classic just a little cramped, highway pegs help but makes the backside numb!

 

[Steel]

Actually, only 6’ and about 190lb! The guy that had it before me was at least 6’4”.

That makes me wonder, however, what the reach to highway pegs on crash bars would be like...

I'm 6' with a 31" inseam, my pegs on the crash bars are perfect for me.

@Ishrub .... DEFINITELY not looking to spend $1000+ on a new setup, so that whittles down the options quite quickly!

Come on!! Where is that sense of commitment.
I was just easing you in gently.

Nearly 6000 posts and just 2 quips worth a flip desk diary entry. It is going to take a bloody long time before I get my calendar finished.

Rattle, tattle and, prattle, its all the same as long as it is, occasionally, itty, bitty and witty.

'Huevos!' is just a concept for confused people. Like chickens thinking they have testicles to spare instead of just eggs.

The Triumph factory freeway pegs have a lot of adjustability in them, you would have to be a Hottentot or a giant not to get some reasonable fit with them, IMO.

I think your a candidate for the original peg rail and eg set up. There further foward then the roadster yet not as far as foward controls. They'll bolt up with just a brake line change. Not sure but I think the master cylinder is the same.

 

[Kojack1970]

I never felt fully in control with forward controls, not for me.

Agreed! More like forward out of controls. Ever see forward controls on a race bike? The defense rests.

I had no idea you be 2" taller than I, Amigo!
You certainly do have a 2" longer inseam! That's where it is!

IMHO, for an R3R, the standard boards are perfect for a rider inseam size up 31".
Much more than that would likely be better served with the Classic boards.

I am definitely more comfortable on longer trips with my Classic. Maybe I need to look into getting boards for the Roadster.

You might find some used OEM parts at a better price on boonstraparts.com. They don’t always have everything but it’s worth a look.

You should . . . . .
and they do not hinder the HOON!
