New RT floorboards.

[Lamonster]

Lamont, do you see any conflict with the floorboard and the NBVs?

Shouldn't be a problem. Not sure if these are going to work on a 2013 till I get one in my hand but I'll make adjustments if needed.

Yes they will work with all year SE models, not SM.


One of the reasons they are so pricey is because they have a safety feature that no other board has. If for some reason you do not achieve full brake pressure at a stop and the peddle needs to travel below the floor boards to stop the board will release in the front and will allow the brake peddle to be pushed below where the board was fixed. A simple push on the back of the board will lock the board back in place.

Sounds like a good safety feature but IMO if they are so concerned with safety they
should add the right hand brake like all other bikes have.

In a panic situation I can usually get on the hand brake before finding the foot brake.

Good point! :thumbup: :agree:
Maybe it's time for a brake lever to appear.

I have an RT-S SE5 and given Lamonts comment, would like to evaluate the 2013 floorboards. I currently have Inspector Gadget's version which have been great, but might like to look at something a bit more substantial. ISCI or the Can Am 2013s for the RT SE5 would be the ticket.

Can anyone answer with a link/URL that actually shows a clear shot of the 2013 RT SE5 floor boards?

Thanks

Hopefully you can see it in the below.

If CanAm ever starts manufacturing a motorcycle again I am sure they will put one on.....:roflblack:

I wouldn't count on it.

They don't put the right hand brake on their off road quads either and for that reason would not own one, just unsafe not to have it. :shocked:

Being from the ATV world now there is "can of worms":roflblack: Kinda like asking "what tire is the best"?

Fortunately for CanAm at least Polaris and Arctic Cat prefer to build unsafe machines as well. But your right the japanese seem to love their dual levers. Me.... have had both Suzuki KQ (Dual Levers) and CanAm Outlander (Single Lever) no real preference on my end, must have been lucky never had any single lever incidents? Engine breaking on both machines was awesome and seemed to look after me.
