Re: Those definitely appear to give you a much more perpendicular leg position. Do you like them?
They allow me to put my foot flat on them, put my heel at the outer edge ( sort of like a highway peg ) and I can put my foot back so just my toes are on them. Yes, I like them. I am 6 ft tall for your info.

These look great but I wonder how easy it is to brake particularly in an emergency? Seems like you need to lift your foot a lot to get to the brake pedal. Does look better with the iscs brake lever extension. Anyone have thoughts on the safety issue?
So the 12 RS was my first investment in a spyder, I learned quickly that I wanted a new set of boards, or pegs. I won a contest and actually got a set of passenger and driver rivco floorboards. I'm 6'3 and it's made riding so much more comfortable for me and my wife. I'll second that portion of the comments.
As far as stopping, if you get them installed, I'd do a little riding around some slow roads just for a few miles until you get the feel for the brake but honestly for me it wasn't a huge adjustment and I doubt it would be much of a problem for you. As for installation, it's fairly straightforward and easy for the driver boards, and they're actually very stable once you get them on. I did them myself with no issue. However, the passenger floorboards have continually gotten a little loose on me over time I think a little lock tight would fix that issue. Overall, I'd say if you're thinking of going the route of rivco it's very much worth it and does make a spectacular world of difference, and makes riding so much more fun.
Just thought I'd throw in my two cents. Enjoy the ride.
