For a big bike the Roadster feels very cramped on long rides. I am long legged and I end up sitting on the upswept portion of the seat. Something has got to give. It seems a peg forward kit is not being considered by Triumph. Maybe an aftermarket seat would help. Called Triumph tech help desk and the guy said he never heard that this was an issue some people were having, was a jerk. Test drove a Standard and bought a new Roadster so it is on me, if it doesn't feel perfect from the start then what ever bothers you about the fit tends to magnify over time in my experience.
Does the Triumph touring seat move you back any, need back and up for leg room? Does Corbin? Who else is out there? Can I buy rails and everything to move the foot position forward. Maybe Touring model rails and boards even though I prefer pegs.
All this has likely been addressed before but maybe there is new information out there. BTW, riding the twisty roads here in the southern Appalachians this motor is amazing, powering out of the tight curves and switchbacks is a blast, I don't want to trade her.
