Has anyone installed the LED floorboards on a 20-21 RT?
I purchased the Floorboard LED kit and it seems lie its a fairly involved setup. Anybody tackled this project have some pointers?

Slingmods version or OEM? Neither seem to be very involved just time consuming.

I installed the OEM ones. I like them a lot. I love products from Slingmods, but "stick on" LEDs didn't seem as reliable to me. The job is not hard, just time consuming. There are a lot of panels to remove. The floorboards come off easily and you'll need to put the bike on ramps or a lift to make getting under it to run the wires. I had my RT on ramps and it worked just fine. I really like the end result.

I installed them on my S2S. wasnt to bad. I lucked out with long arms and was able to route the wires under the bike without the ramp but man it would have helped. I did not remove the rear right pannel where you mount the controll module, i was able to get the tiewrap tight without removing it. The only issue i had was power, the plug on the bike and on the floor boards are backwards. Apperently this is the same plug as the gps power and a issue on some bikes. so test before you button it back up. to fix this i swapped the wires on the floorboards at the connector, this is deffinatly a pain if you have never played with wiring harness connectors before.

For early production 2021, the GPS plug had reversed polarity. This was quickly identified and many manufactures provided a "reversal" wire to correct the polarity. I have a later model 2021, so my wires are fine. Here's the funny thing - I installed a SlingMods lightbar - and it didn't work! I called them (they were very responsive) and they told me they thought the "reversal" was a permanent decision, so the light bar was created to accommodate the original factory error. Which means it doesn't work on a properly wired bike. So I had to use a reversal wire to reverse my correct wires, lol. Then it worked fine.
