I had contacted both Suburban Machinery and Creative Concepts to find out if their peg lower kits would work on the 2014 RT's. Creative concepts said no but that they had not attempted an install to date. Suburban answered back "Yes" almost immediately that the DL3 kit for the 2005 thru 2013 RT's would fit the 2014's, was skeptical with the quick response they gave with no additional information.
My only complaints with the 2014 RT so far is with the Ergo's for all day touring. I'm 5'11" with a 31" inseam with a bad back, 3 degrees of forward lean with the angles in my hips and knees was making anything beyond a hour and a half just plain hard.
No bar backs are available at this time with the new one piece steering head on the 2014 RT so I m trying to open my legs up without having to raise the seat height. On my 2009 RT I installed the Suburban Risers, and a Russell Day Long seat and ended up with an with a 0 degree lean and about 1" of additional leg room.
With the DL 3 kit installed I have the leg room now, planning on a Rick Mayer seat and will try to not raise the seat height much beyond the stock height. The first thought of going with the Russell agin but after talking with Rick he believes that the Russell Spring system is not necessary for riders weighting less than 210 pounds. Full riding gear my weight in under 190. Will install a Bakup next week and hope that will get me in a position that I can do 500+ mile days when needed.
I have not repositioned the shifter and Brake lever, they seem just fine as is after I finished the install. The total installation was quick and took only 30 minutes start to finish. The hardest part of the install was getting the spring back into position.
I'm sure there is some decrease in ground clearance but I went out and ran my favorite twisties and never felt even close to dragging a peg. This is a nice improvement for me in the new RT's Long Distance a Comfort Factor.
