VentureFar Posted February 22, 2018 Share #6 Posted February 22, 2018 http://www.venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=111706 It is I, VentureFar. And I haven’t gotten the link from ultimatemotorcycling.com yet. By the way, spoiler alert, I turned around and only did 1/2 the distance because I hurt so bad. Developed a pain in my neck at 3 hours and a knot in my back at 3hrs 40minutes. Threw in the towel knowing I still had to ride 3hrs and 40 minutes back. For me, without highway pegs which don’t seem mountable without cutting plastic kept me from being able to push back on the back rest. And the seat hurt my butt after only 60 miles the day before when I rode it two up with the wife. So I used my trusty air pillow - so my butt didn’t hurt. I am pressing for the link. Will advise. Sorry it is taking so long. VentureFar... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted February 22, 2018 Share #7 Posted February 22, 2018 That doesn't sound good. No big deal about the shoulder pain. I had that on the RSV and some Flanders bars were the cure. I'm sure there will be such an easy fix for the new one. The footpeg deal would be a deal killer for me though. Like you, they are essential for my riding long distances along with the driver's backrest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you, they are essential for my riding long distances along with the driver's backrest. The backrest is built in and I have learned is adjustable but no way to push against it. I believe you will have to cut plastic to fit the mounting bracket. VentureFar... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To cut the plastic on a brand new bike to make it more functional or relaxing? Being able to occasionally move one legs to another resting point is a must have on a touring bike especially if you ride the super slabs any. I hope you can tailor your bike to your ergonomics without to much re-engineering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowrollwv Posted February 22, 2018 Share #11 Posted February 22, 2018 Isn't there a set of highway pegs that bolt to the floorboards? I am sure I have seen them for other bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I had on my Victory ... simple install and made a huge difference ... rather good looking also ... (the foot pegs, not me ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djh3 Posted February 23, 2018 Share #14 Posted February 23, 2018 Kuryakin make some swing out type footrest that bolt to floorboards. Though I doubt they have anything yet for this bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. Never saw these before. No idea about the fitment. Look much better than my C clamp....... VentureFar...

Hey Silv,, seems how that VentureFar tends to fall on the more modest side of the code equation I would love to forward the earlier report he did on the Eluder for you in case you missed it = https://ultimatemotorcycling.com/2018/02/07/2018-yamaha-star-eluder-test-death-valley-bust/ Something to wet the whistle while we wait patiently for his next installment!!

VentureFar Posted March 1, 2018 Share #19 Posted March 1, 2018 It is 9pm out here in the West and I just got the editor's edited version. I ran through it quickly and added a point about the sound system. I should have the link tomorrow. Sorry for the wait. VentureFar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
