    I know I'm late to the game here. I also installed the Ultimate FB's and love them. I'll mention one advantage to them I haven't read yet. When I'm riding for an extended time I can actually stand up and stretch my butt while the bike is moving. Can't do that with traditional floorboards.
    I also recommend the matching rear floorboards. They make an easy mount/dismount for me and my wife.
    Pricey, but worth it.
    I installed highway pegs because on my 2-wheeler I used them all the time. Not so much when I put them on Miss Scarlett, they just kinda extend the foot space a little. But they do look good.

    I almost mentioned it and then deleted it because I wondered if I'd get flamed. I agree this is a great feature.

    Do you have highway pegs with the Ultimate floorboards?

    I had highway pegs on my 2-wheeler and loved them, so when I purchased the Spyder I thought it would be a good idea. Not so much. My Spyder came with pegs, so when I swapped out for the Ultimate FB's I added the highway pegs at the same time. They look really sharp on the trike, but not of much use. Because of its location near the brake pedal I had to set the right one out farther than planned so it wouldn't interfere with using the brake, which meant, for symmetry I placed the left one out farther too.0
    On the plus side, I can place my feet up a bit higher than if using just the FB's.

    I’ve heard some people say that they can just rest their feet on the top edge of the Ultimate floorboards. Anyone else do that?

    I put my heel on the top edge of the floorboard... legs totally stretched out.

    Yeah, you can do that. I'm also 6'2", position #5, and I have room to do just that (not with the highway pegs, obviously, although I can rest my feet on top of them if I choose to).
