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.
Anyone have Rivco Floorboards fitting experience? Brake pedal extenders?

Hello Dickim, not sure witch floor board you got, I can say that Rivco products are nice and very well made. I have a set of their floorboards on my RT and love them. Takes some work to get the pegs off, that was the hardest part. I also got a set of their flag holders for the back trunk and a flag holder for the trailer hitch all the products are great. Good luck with your project. :2thumbs:
Appreciated- sounds like similar units, req removal of the pegs and fixing brackets to engine mounts?

They fit and work Great BUT you will want the foot break extender, I have them in Stock email me for more info [email protected]
look at the picture of the factory foot brake in the photo at the far left, the foot brake will be in the center of the floorboard. NOT GOOD .

ME, that's why I started selling the brake extender.
Just an update - boards arrived minus the main crossbrace (probably lost on multiple customs openings!) big shout to Biker Addiction for sorting, and boards now fiited. Despite having dealer replace rear pads, fluid change, still feels like too much pedal travel (anybody know how to adjust?) Happy with cost if pedal extender but not shipping Grrrrr to Oz, so made my own
from 8mm alloy with a bend to stop fouling on floorboards.

dickim,
I don't have the brake extender on my 08 GS with the Rivco boards. I just shift my heel over and use it. I also do some fab work and have been thinking about fab'ing an extender. Will have to look at the positioning and all but, shouldn't be too much but some time and material. I am way more comfortable on the ride with these boards as my knees are much better positioned. Enjoy my friend.

Thanks for that Gary - Yup knackered knees from Rugby! and even just round the block felt way better. Going to try as normal whilst my extender is finished off and sprayed, just used a price if 8mm alloy which cost me $4 as an offcut, and got 2 from it! cut to shape, into a vice, then big bar to bend - bit BY bit until happy, Sitting on the bike "healing/arching" the pedal dud feel o.k - adjusted gearshift end on it spines to give more height and o.k as long as NOT in work boots :2thumbs:

Kind of humorous that the pan and rubber insert are almost a dead ringer for OEM Harley touring floorboards.
Definitely would improve on pegs though...

Glad you posted about these. I'm looking to get a set in a week or 2. Didn't realize the break pedal would end up in the center of the board.

I left my om brake in place so that if i am not using the floor boars it is comfortable with the pegs. I made my own extender so that it down near the floor boards at the front of the boards. This way I just lift my foot off the board and touch the brake The extender cost me less than $10 to make with alum.
