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.

Seal Floorboards
Looking at the mounting it appears that they go on top of the existing footpegs. Seems like the boards would be awfully high and would have you in a very knee flexed position. I'm refering to the RS version. I would love to hear from any RS owners using these and get some feedback. I'm not a tall guy but even the stock pegs leave me feeling like I need to stretch my legs out a bit.

The seal floor boards are only 3/16th thick which is less than your rubber pads. You wont be able to turn you foot down as you do on the pegs but then you will be able to stretch out.

I see your on an RT. The configuration looks completely different for the RS from a height standpoint. But thanks for the feedback.
I rode an 09 RS which I had Seal floorboards installed on and I loved them. At first they did feel higher because as stated above you cannot turn the front of your foot down the way you can with the pegs. However you can move them forward so much that you will find you rarely bring your foot back as far as where the foot pegs are now. I have now upgraded to a 2012 RTS and you can bet before spring rolls around here in Canada ( about June unfortunately) that there will be aset of Seal floorboards on the new one as well.

I have them on my 2009 GS SE5 and while I understand and agree they don't let you lower your feet like it kind of seems you would want to. But the advantage of stability and comfort they provide is well worth the design. Also you can stretch your feet out to the front so that your knee is straight if you have a 32" inseam like I do. I find I can't ride very long with my legs stretched out in front of me because my hips don't like being spread as much as the Spyder design requires due to it's width but it still gives me the flexability to move my feet around and straighten my legs while riding occassionally.

Great pics, very helpful. How about the flex that I read about somewhere? I realize they are sturdy enough to stand on when mounting the spyder and that the forwardmost part is really not attached to any sort of bracing so will have some flex when pressure is applied. How significant is that? Also do these boards impede removal of the tupperware in any way?
