Dreadful footrests position on Roadster

[Rick Morris]

Speaking of pegs and foot rests. I copied this image form Rockethead's bike. I have reached out but have not heard back from him. Do any of you guys know the manufacturer of these foot rest. They look very sturdy and comfortable. Any help would be great. Thanks, Rick.

Tried them on my Roadster - didn't care for them.

What didn't you like about them. I have not ordered any foot rest yet but I am going to soon.

They fit too close to my OEM peg and were not as comfy as the highway bars on the engine guard.
Also going to the Standard board set up, they were redundant.
I gave them to my sonm who has a Wing.

I spent the day fitting Rivco risers and re routing all the cables and brake pipe and wiring harness. Cut a little off the opening of the left hand plastic neck cover to stop any rubbing. All went well. took it out for an 80 mile trial and no issues to date. Must say bringing the bars back two inch and up an inch makes a world of difference. its now almost comfortable, but vastly better than it was. I might not bother fitting the Raask movable foot rest bars now.

Good info. I am considering those risers too.

Thanks for this 1obull. I am trying to figure out a few things. The pegs on the R3R aren't too bad, I still ride dirt so the mid controls dont bother me. But I would like to stretch out a little on long rides. I dont have a engine guard and I only have a 30 inch inseam so I probably wouldn't reach that far anyway. Thanks for your advice.

@Rick Morris I to have a 30" inseam and have no problems with the switch blades on the engine guard. These are switch blades and You can see they are mounted in the front of the engine guards. If I mount them 180 degrees out it will move them a couple inches closer to the rider.

I must say I like the engine guards. In 2013 I rolled my 05 breaking some bones. If it were not for the engine guard I am not sure if I would have much of a right leg. They bent around so far as to bust the floor board in half. But they did not break. Looked kind of weird with the radiator bent around the guard also.
