Passenger Pegs - Triumph Sprint RS

After getting out on a lovely weekend riding, I have
determined that the passenger pegs are at the wrong height
on my '00 Sprint RS.

My wife's complaint is that they are too high, (and
possibly too far back?) and her legs get cramped being bent
at the angle they are. At the same time, I want to take my
son for a ride, and he needs the pegs a couple of inches
higher.

Does anyone know of an aftermarket peg height adjustment
kit?

I am not too sure that the service I could provide in this case may be
quite what the poster intends, although I am sure he would benefit from
his wife's increased suppleness and pleasant demeanour.

 

Curiously my R100 now sports 4 pillion pegs, the standard and the 4 inch
higher ones for my son. Bit of bracketry and some folding footrests from
a local shop.

I'm surprised. I'd have thought that herself was sufficiently flexible
to manage higher pegs.

Just goes to show, I suppose...

You TTC read again and note the reference to my 6y/o.....or are you
suggesting I should have removed the standard pegs? but I've never seen
a bike with two sets of pillion pegs before. It's *different* and I'm
banking on the local Indian community offering an extra third over the
odds if I sell it.

Exactly! You're not telling me that persuading her to lift her legs
higher is a problem? I refuse to believe you.

You're still A Bad Man.

How many more sets of pegs are you planning on fitting?

 

The brackets have another three mounting points

 

My wife had the same complaint on my '00 Sprint RS; I fixed it with a
Honda Blackbird. No more complaints, as the location of the pegs
is quite a bit more relaxed.

That's not an option here. The Sprint is new to me. It's
fixing the piston problem with my RZ...

Well, in truth, I was just kidding. I wasn't actually suggesting
that you change bikes.
