Rivco floorboards installed

[Ga Blue Knight]

Just installed the Rivco boards on my '09 RS SE5 and what a difference! Controls are still reachable with the short sport pegs and the floorboards are just perfect for me. Contruction and quality of the product is first rate (all steel and rubber) and the installation was very easy and straight forward.

It took a few miles to get used to it all but I would not swap them for anything now. There are at least three riding positions that I have found so far. On the short pegs, on the pegs with toes resting on the boards and flat on the boards with the pegs not folded. Plenty of room to move around and while on the boards the position is similar to the RT.

They do look like HD bagger floorboards but I can live with that!

Any tricks on installation? I just got mine powdercoated flat black thursday and am going to be installing mine shortly.

Easy part is hooking up to left and right driver peg mounts. Hard part was the engine mount bolts. There is not much room for my short fat fingers! Also be careful about the amount of tourqe you put on the engine mount bolts so they stay tight but don't break off! Follow the shop manual required settings for tightness.

I wish they made them for the RT. Really nice floor boards.

hello

Oh, and how was the install? Straightforward, or frustrating? Did you lift your Spyder, or were you able to do it flat?

Lastly... how's that Ultimate seat? I'm thinking that's my next purchase, but I'm debating between that and the Corbin (I dig the fuel door, heated option and leather, but the Ultimate looks like a better fit, not to mention a better price).

i just grab some floor boards. could use some help.

Wish they had a floorboard solution for the RT. :gaah: This is exactly what I am looking for.

If you are talking about floorboards for a 998, they do. I put them on my 2012 RT and they were great.
