Are floorboards worth the extra $$?

Goggles on.
swimming upstream.

I like pegs better.
For all the reasons given by the OP and also by bracing myself aaginst the pegs I think I can take corners much better.
Floorboards are nice for passengers, but as a ryder gimme pegs.

Web boards

I Luv the spyder web boards. Made in concord nh. I got them Friday and we rode a lot this weekend and. I luv them. Brake pedal a lttle too high as they put a spacer in so I might get a shorter spacer. Took less than 30 minutes and they put them on for me but it was so easy I could have done it. Cheaper than other brands I've seen and I like the looks of them better. Check out his website.

The '16 RTL that I rode over the weekend had really nice floorboards, with flexible rubber and all. My '12 RTL has pegs. I like them both, but for different reasons.

The pegs give me instant feedback about foot placement and pressure, while the floorboards let me stretch my legs a bit and were more comfortable. Changing them is not a small investment, so I want to be certain of my decision. This is not a high priority for me; just wondering what other ryders like.

I am also on the sealboards side, although I am sure they all have their advantages. I just like the length of the seals, which allow for a full range of leg placement.

I had ISCI on my 2010 RTS when I bought it. Took those off and put on the Seals. Great purchase in my opinion. Lots of room to move my feet around. Great customer service as well. The way the deluxe version is set up, it's like having highway pegs too. I can still run over two wheelers in the curves with my Seals on. Press on the outside and chin over wrist. Great investment.

Where can I check out the Sealboards? Am looking at highway pegs for my wife's STS and this looks like maybe a better option.

I am sorry to say, that there has just not been enough interest in the ST to justify the expense and R&D necessary to offer them. It's a very nice ride but I thinks it's being phased out by the F3 and RS.

FLOOR BORDZ

I DIY'd FLOOR BORDZ FOR BOTH MY 'RS' & 'F-3' and i'm here to tell you that FLOOR BORDZ are an absolute MUST....
they give you the ability to move around, which takes stress of the hips, knees, ankles & feet.... i do multi-thousand mile rides, and without FLOOR BORDZ it would be hell to pay on my joints... remember, these joints are 68 yrs old and need a lot of TLC....
don't second doubt yourself - just do it.... go buy the ones you like best, they all work well....

Hello Glorie, Thank you for the nice comments. I would be happy to lower that brake pedal, or explain to you how easy it is to lower it if you would like Thanks again, Bill

I think you should just buy the '16 RTL. Problem solved.

Sorry to say but the ST is the one Spyder I don't make floorboards for. I only get 2 or 3 inquiries a year for them. Now I understand the ST is being "retired". It's a very nice Spyder, but the demand has just never been there for floorboards.
