Pegs

Ok, i see. Have only done 125 km's today, but i don't mind the stock R bars. I don't think i'd mind them a wee bit higher either, but i don't feel an urge to change

I have a problem with my carpel tunnels, so need less pressure on my wrists... or my fingers and thumbs go numb.... on a 'normal' bike the stock bars would be OK, but with this behemoth's torque, I need every advantage I can get to hold on whilst twisting the laughing rotar on the right hand side!
 
all good feed back goin on here....
I had a "Storm" which has the forward controls and found if you hit a bump in the road, you couldn't take the weight off your bum to reduce the shock ...consequently a sore lower back....so this is why i'm thinking the middle pegs will help with that...hopefully anyway.....someone will do something and post it for sure..
 
I just sit on the front portion of the rear seat when I need to give my butt or legs a change. My foot pegs are back one from the front holes. Really helps. Hold with just throttle arm or put on cruise and hold with left. I can hold with both hands on bars but a little more comfortable with one. Hope this helps anyone.
 
I fitted mid controls on my 23GT week after purchase and love this setup, even on longer cruising trips I don't miss or need the forward controls. More importantly I did not know you can have both setup installed simultaneously as in the pics above. my mids did not come with rubbers and had to reuse the originals.

Once you have mids I doubt you would ever want forwards again. Also controls will remain in one position (forward) so you have to move your feet position from mids to forward changing gears or rearbrake.

I have the mids on my R and generally quite happy with it. I wouldn't mind having a set of highway pegs farther out. Did anyone find any aftermarket pegs that would work upfront, so to speak? It isn't worth dropping the coin for the factory forward pegs, I just need something to occasionally adjust my riding position.
 
Not sure if anyone is offering a turn-key, bolt-on solution. However, @RhinoOK provided a DIY example here

Added highway pegs to my 2020 R

Using the mount points for the GT forward controls, I used some 1/4 by 1 1/4 steel bar to create a mount for some old Kuryakyn iso pegs. Ready for some long trips this summer.
