I got the prototype in hand yesterday and I went ahead and had them powder coated today and I must say I'm super happy with them. :doorag:

The production sets will have more rounded corners and we'll do a version that's all black like these and a version with a milled accent cut around the edge to match the IPS look. If you already have my third peg option the price will be discounted and if you have my peg adapter option there will be a discount for that too. I use both of these existing products to mount the running boards.

I will say that I've never been a big fan of floor boards and all my bikes have had pegs but these feel so natural to me and gives your legs so much room that these will be going on all three of my F3's. These are made from solid billet 6061 aluminum and are show quality like all our Lamonster parts. These will work like the third peg we sell now as far as giving you an easy way to mount the bike. I also find that it's much easier to find the brake pedal with these running boards in place. I think they look great on the bike and the production version will look even better. I'm just waiting on final pricing to get them in the store. I already have a line forming for them as soon as they are available.

I'm going to call these R.I.P grippers as they allow your feet to Rest In Peace and they do kind of look like a coffin. :doorag:

Before powder coating showing the rage of foot positions.

Yes, we will provide a #4 linkage because that's what they are built for but I've had #5 guys and #3 guys try it and it still works great for them. The board goes all the way to the front radius of the tube so that would be like a #6.

We're also be adding a highway bracket as an option. My long legged wife loves them too. :doorag:

I'm shooting for $450-$550 price range. If you have my third peg mount or peg adapter it will be cheaper. The highway brackets will be extra.

Next on my list! I'm not a floorboard fan but those look amazing!! I have the 5th position but at 6'4 I think these will allow my legs to stretch out even further.......now to convince the wife......

That's why I didnt respond. My wheels started turning and brain smoking. Thinking, "How can I get this off" for my toy, as she calls it.

Can we preorder them now. Just getting on and off makes them worth it.

You can call the shop Monday and get on a list with Jacob but we won't take your money till we have product ready to ship. That's our policy. :doorag:

I really like the R & C floor boards. Since I've just purchase and install the BRP originals I'm going to wait until I'm done with them.

Thanks Lamonster for all your rider tested innovations. I like the NBV brackets on my RT, but after riding the wifes RT-S I wish I had some boards on my base RT. I'll be watching for your next iteration!
