• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Floor boards tilt?

My 2015 RT SE floorboards tilt down at the front, is this the normal position? Can they be adjusted up so they are at least parallel to the ground? Short legged so this seems a bit unnatural to me
 
That angle cannot be adjusted. Try it for a while, and see if you get used to it.
(I did! :thumbup:)
Your only other option would be to build up a wedged platform; in order to change the "angle of the dangle..."
 
Geep I had the same problem on my ST - never did get used to it.

I've been wondering the same thing about increasing the tilt on f3s boards - it's better but again short legs issue..

Will be watching for more responses and ideas
 
When BRP first introduced the floorboards on the Spyder RT as OEM (I think it was 2014), I was a bit skeptical with the tilt. Turns out, when I actually picked mine up and rode it for the first time, I liked it. Felt very comfortable. Don't know why they did it--but it works for me.
 
I've known from the get go the floorboards tilted down toward the front but your post prompted me to go out and have a focused look at them. To me the degree of tilt goes with the lines of the bike. JMO.

Hate to disagree with you Bob, but there is another option. My Seal Floorboards sit on top of the BRP floorboard, however, they are level to the ground and are twice the size, giving much more room to move your feet around.
Ride in comfort, my friend,

The forward tilt is actually a good fit to ergonomics. Just think how you actually ride a bike with just footpegs. Usually tipping forward
 
2013 RTL here

Noticed a while back that my right side floorboard seems like it is angled more than the left side. I dont know if I had a panic stop or not. dpepmding on the length of ride I stretch ot with the pegs. I dont really notice it while riding just when i clean her up
