• 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.

Rivco floorboards installed

Nice...

Annnnnd? The verdict is?

How far out does it bring your foot to the side of the brake pedal? Is it comfortable using the brake? What about those "sport" pegs? They look a lot shorter than the regular pegs, are they useful or a nuisance?

Thanks for any info...

P.S. I ordered mine three MONTHS ago... they finally shipped my order this week.

Well, most of it; the "free" highway pegs included in my purchase are still being machined, they say another three weeks on those.

Don't get me wrong, the RIVCO customer service has been first-rate-- they always answered my emails promptly-- but when I ordered off their website, they said nothing about being out of stock for the entire summer. :gaah:
 
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 ordered them on Sunday and had them by Thursday, so shipping was quick for me. I had my dealer install since I don't have the tools needed to install, so rather than buy tools I took the easy way out. The install is straight forward with the brackets connecting to the same place as the motor mounts and then to the just below the foot pegs. The pegs are alright, just a little small, and I use them off and on. The break pedal does get in the way some when I want to stretch out though. I'm finding I'm using my heel more on the break now. All in all they seem to be pretty good. I'll find out more when I travel to Nashville at the end of the month.

I like the ultimate so far as it is more comfortable than the stock seat, but have had some second thoughts about it as I really like the idea of the fuel door on the corbin seat and the ability to get the Lamonster cut with it.

Just took my first trip since installing these boards, made the whole ride a lot more comfortable. The only problem was my sore butt after 200 plus miles each day even with the ultimate seat and air hawk cushion. All in all the floorboards made a difference in my comfort on the trip. May have to contact ultimate to see if they can offer some ideas on getting some relief while parked this winter.
