    Default 2013 RT Floor Boards

    Anybody try installing the floor boards for the 2013 RTs onto an earlier model? Do they fit? Can they be made to fit?

    It was posted here already and I think they can be fitted. I am thinking about buying for mine and I'm sure I can fit them as well.

    Lamont corrected an earlier post and said they will not fit. Maybe with modifications? There are problems with both the new frame and the brake pedal, as I understand it.

    Default Maybe someone will come up

    Just maybe one of our engineer types can come up with a cheap and dirty adapter.

    2013 floor boards are so big you almost need a map to navigate on one let alone two. You could almost camp under them in a rain storm!

    was told by my dealer that they are not interchangeable.after looking them over on the 13 i don't think i would want them they look and feel pretty cheap and cheesy but it was nice of brp to go ahead and use foot pads instead of pegs but i feel they could of went one more step forward and made them alot nicer.oh and i didn't see any chrome ones either.

    I Posted pics of the chrome ones, I really like them. Dealer told me as stated above, not retro due to new framework & brakes

    I loved the Can-Am boards on the '13 model but I was not ready to give up my '12 RT Limited just yet. We measured and took photos and got some techs involved but the consensus was that there is no way for the '13 boards to fit the '12 or earlier without major, major changes to the frame that would be more expensive than the most expensive aftermarket boards.

    I evaluated the boards available for the RT and grouped them into four categories.... not acceptable; good, better and best.

    I decided to go with Better and was somewhat disappointed in the quality of the product supplied and the instructions (or lack of same).

    My complaints were answered but not to my satisfaction so we made modifications to make things work better and the boards are now on my RT.

    I did not (will not) post the name of the company here as they did respond to my complaint. I just didn't like the response.

    If anyone wants to PM me I will share the problems encountered.
