| Hi There, Just got my new 2007 VStar 1100 Classic and love it!!! Just put my first 500 clicks on it and one issue I am trying to address is lack of leg room. I am 6'2"" and the standard floor boards are cramped for me. I have looked at floorboard extenders but if I go that route I need to remove the engine guard since they use the same bolt brackets. Don't really want to do that. Also looking into flipping the floorboards for pegs but not sure if this would give me what I want? Other than just getting highway pegs does any one have any ideas for me? Thanks, Hoopster |

| If you have a set of engine gaurds add a pair of highway pegs. That out to do it. Scooper "06" Midnight Stratoliner P.S. Don't listen to the Roady guy. If you move up go all the way. Liner Baby, Liner |

| Thanks Hal, Looking into - have taken out the floorboards and installed sweet looking billet aluminum Rizoma front end controls which I like a lot more then the heel-toe shifter. Now looking at custom made billet aluminum highway pegs. BTW- am starting to look at the Roadliner S - very nice Thanks again, John

| I upgraded from a V-star 1100 Classic to the Roadliner just for this reason (among others). I didn't like the cramped riding position and enjoy stretching out on the Roadliner much more.

| Hoop, I just installed 5" floorboard and control extenders. I am only 5'10" and they are a little long. I am going to order some 4" or 3". but go to Ebay and search for Vstar parts. They are very reasonable, and you will love them, they take about an hour to install. Nath |
