Did you know.....

[Mr. White]

that on a 2014-15 RT/RTL, when you apply the brake hard, I mean really hard, the floorboard will collapse so you can apply even more braking....after you stop, you can flip it back up. This is what my tech told me and then showed me.

Goes for the ST's with floorboards also

See page 14 of the Operator's Guide. I also saw somewhere instructions to keep the unlatching mechanism clean and smoothly operating.

Relax. .!!

glad you didn't find out the hard way..:bowdown: you would have thought you broke the floorboard. :yikes: but now you know..nice feature not on all aftermarkets thought...:thumbup:

It started when the "13"s came out. Well. The 13's that have OEM floorboards.

I guess we are never too old to learn new tricks. By the way say "Hi" to the wife from me when you see her between jobs, okay?

I think that a video showing this safety feature would be a nice addition in here... :thumbup:

Lamonster has a demonstration of it on his highway bracket install video.

And if I remember correctly he found out about this feature during a panic stop.

Your memory is quite accurate.

And is the reason why the larger brake pedal is not recommended as it interferes with the dropping mechanism.

 

[Bob Denman]

No; it does not interfere with it at all... Joe and I have both tested ours: the breakaway feature still works just fine. :thumbup:

 

[Buggy]

Thanks...I am glad because I wanted one but at one time Reggy was not selling it for Spyders with Oem floorboards because of possible problems. Old news now it appears.

Cheers

This is not a plug for iMotors, I have no connection with them.
I am however glad I purchased my Spyder from them. Jason showed me the floorboard feature when he was going over the bike after purchase. :yes:
