Had some time this weekend and installed both the inspector gadget floorboards and heel toe shifter and a big bike parts/show chrome driver backrest. Both pretty easy installs. i like the adjust-ability of the backrest, although i haven't tried a BRP one by brother has a utopia and it seems as comfortable as that one at a fraction of the price. I got mine on amazon for 130 and change. Here is a couple pictures and my review of each.
Installed a pair og inspector gadget flooboards on my 2015 RT SM6 with the heel toe shifter this weekend. So far i like them, install of the actual floor boards takes maybe 2 minutes. Only issue there is i dont like the phillips head bolts cause they strip to easy. The heel toe shifter works great, no issues getting into gear or neutral. Only issue i had installing that was its really hard to hold up the piece to determine exactly where to drill the holes. There is not a lot of variance in where you could place it though. I would have like to actually mount it back a little farther because there is not really enough room to keep my foot exactly in between the front and rear shifters, however there is enough room on the floorboards to keep your foot slightly to the left of the front shifter. Both Randal who sells the floor boards and Bob who recommended them scared me with the self tapping screws so i went to pep boys and got some 4mm bolts and nylock nuts to use instead. There is a tiny bit of swivel back and forth as explained in bobs video, nothing that it bothersome but i wonder if other floorboards dont have it, if so they must completely remove the stock peg mounts so has to be a major install. Here is a picture. Bottom line is recommend them (if you have an SE its a no brainer) and the price cant be beat compared to other floorboards.
The big bike parts driver back rest is a nice addition. It was a fairly easy install only issue being its a pain to get the seat bolts off without taking off the passenger backrest, its just a lot of motions with the socket because you can only go a very small distance at a time. Other than that it was really easy, drilling the couple small holes into the bottom of the seat was not really an issue just mark your holes well. The instructions dont say how to adjust it forward and back but once you have it installed its easy to figure out, you just lower and raise the plate to push the backrest forward or back.
