RSTC passenger comfort question.

[muaymendez1]

Ok first long ride with the wife. kids were away for the weekend. A new seat is needed as her butt couldnt take the punishment. Next year tax season for the russel day long, but what about peg placement.

my wife complained that the back of her legs were sore from the saddle bag crash bars digging into the calf muscle.

Is there a way to adjust the peg or any other suggestions.

Can you take a picture of the passenger peg setup for me?

 

Im wondering if it's the same as the Roadstars. I was able to flip my mounts over to lower the pegs and move them forward.

my RSTC has passenger foot boards, but it is a '98. Wonder if they could be added to your '96?

It is raining out today. ill wait for teh rain to settle to take some pics. I think with her short legs, the pegs would be better up a bit.or maybe her back rest a little forward.

With my wing she was very close to me and with the star I dont even notice shes back there.

I will be taking the sissy bar off for winter riding and Ill se then if there is any forward adjustment on it.

but check out Diamond R. They have a set of foot "rests" or pegs...that I added to mine. They are higher and can be moved out of the way when not being used. Wife LOVES them and gives her an added "change of position" for longer rides.

Gotta keep the wife happy ya know!!!

I noticed that, too, and I'm 5'8" so I'm not short. We're new to the Venture. I see the Diamond alternative (ouch at the price) but good to know it's not just me who is bugged by the "oh, ****" handles right on the bottom of the thighs.
