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.
Adjust passenger floor boards
- Thread starter Csh72

Hi Csh72, can I suggest that you try comparing the angle of the passenger floor boards to the level/angle of the passenger seat, I think they might be closer to parallel with the seat than you might think; and if you made the floorboards look level with the ground instead of matching the seat via the angle they are currently on, your passenger may end up sitting in an over-extended & uncomfortable 'toe down' position - & that's a feeling strongly supported by my regular pillion passenger, the Missus.... We just braved the cold & rain here & went out to check it all out on my 2013 RT Ltd, & don't think the angle is anywhere near as different as you might expect from just eye-balling it! :sour:
However, all that said, the floorboards can certainly be adjusted up & down (for height/reach) but there are fairly coarse 'teeth' in the bracketry that mate up with the casting they secure on to, & not much scope at all for changing the angle they are held on; altho maybe if your pillion passenger is uncomfortable you could play with them a bit to see if there's just enough movement in there to make it feel OK?! If not, you might hafta track down one of the after-market height adjusting add-ons that are available & see if you can get sufficient angle change from one of them. There have been some links & pics posted here on this Forum for these things in the relatively recent past, so it could be worth a bit of time searching, if there's not someone with a better memory than mine who can recall the link or an all important key-word?!? :thumbup:
Good Luck!

Once you get the height set properly: they seem to work out pretty well... :thumbup:
