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.

I have the FBB. I think the reason I chose those is because the floorboard mount seems a bit more stable than the other. I may be wrong, but what can I say. Installation is fairly simple, you just have to remove the rubber mat on the floorboards and drill a couple of holes in the bottom of the floorboards. Some people here are squeamish about drilling holes for some reason.
I'm sure you'll get a lot of varying opinions on this topic. Good luck with your decision.

"Each to their own notion.", said the old woman as she kissed the cow.We really can't tell you which one might be better; It's your money, and your decision! :2thumbs:
For the record: I put Baker Builts on my RT! :thumbup:
Why? :shocked: I'm not sure...
I was looking at their belt tensioners, and a funny thing happened... nojoke

If you have a manual transmission, like I do, you have to go with the NBV ones. They do the job and fairly easy to install. Good luck!

I use the RIVCO because they gave me more versatility and stretch for my 6"1" body

I've had both
I bought the FBV initially because they looked (and were) straightforward to install. However, they require that you really spread your feet far apart when using them.
SO, I bought the NBV and sold the FBV (to Bob I believe) and like them MUCH better. Installation was not as easy but not bad, and they sit much closer to the sides of the bike.

Neither Allow You to Stretch Out
I have the Lamonster NBV because they are closer to the body of my RTS, but at only 5'9", all they do is allow me to move my feet up and a little forward. You will not stretch out if that is your goal. It does at least allow you to change your foot position and I have gotten pretty imaginative on how I place my feet on the pegs.

Pam, I don't know how tall you are but didn't the FBB pegs just spread your legs to far out? Is it comfortable in that position for a long time? I have been kicking it around as to which ones to buy, since I'm 6'2" I need the extra distance to stretch my legs but not sure if I would like to have my legs spread apart that far. Thanks in advance.

Would it be possible to use a "stub-peg", and turn it toward the bike; rather than outward? :dontknow:

Yes - I have the elongated peg to outside, the stub to the inside.

the nbv"s intrude into the limited amount of footwell that you DO have.
i would still like to keep that. and that is a good point about neither allowing you
to stretch out. that would mean removing or modifying the deflectors. guess
you cant have both. or can you . cmon you innovators . stretch the possibilities!!:thumbup:

Baker Built...
I know that it's not on your radar, but here's where the pegs put my feet...

The issue with ALL the highway pegs is you can't sit like you would on a cruiser or touring bike because the Spyder flares out so much in front of the floorboards. Bob's look like they sit right where my NBVs go. Ursamajor had some Baker Built and they were more forward but also flared out to the sides. The sitting position on the Spyder is just different.
With the NBV I can rest my feet on them for short intervals, or stretch out and rest the back of my heels on them.
I think that the F3s allow you to sit with your feet closer together since the body panels that cover the engine on the RT aren't on the F3.

i like to stick my feet as far forward behind the black deflector as i can.
the floor board mt seems to be the closest thing available for that reason.
if i had wanted my feet back i could have gotten a goldwing. my victory
cross roads had huge floorboards and you could really stretch out and
didnt even need pegs. the rt is more like a wing with your feet tucked back.
just looking for option to improve my riding experience and keep strap steel out of
the foot planting area. [no im not trying to grow a crop of feet].
thank you for all your help and opinions. i know you are enjoying your rides your way.
they still have that freedom in America yet. happy 4th wekend to all and ride safe.

I have other brackets that moved my feet further forward. I removed them, and opted for a bit less stretch.
