Ultimate floorboards or smaller floorboards?

[CloverHillCrawler]

I have had the floorboards on since I bought the F3 so I have just learned on going with a combo of leaning forward into the turn, shifting foot position back, and "squeezing the tank" with my knee's /thighs.

I know I'm late to the game here. I also installed the Ultimate FB's and love them. I'll mention one advantage to them I haven't read yet. When I'm riding for an extended time I can actually stand up and stretch my butt while the bike is moving. Can't do that with traditional floorboards.
I also recommend the matching rear floorboards. They make an easy mount/dismount for me and my wife.
Pricey, but worth it.
I installed highway pegs because on my 2-wheeler I used them all the time. Not so much when I put them on Miss Scarlett, they just kinda extend the foot space a little. But they do look good.

I almost mentioned it and then deleted it because I wondered if I'd get flamed. I agree this is a great feature.

Do you have highway pegs with the Ultimate floorboards?

I love my Ultimate floor boards.. My only problem with them is the lack of vibration dampening. All my other bikes always had rubber that lessened the normal vibration of the bike. Harley probably had the best, the rubber inserts were mounted with rubber tabs so the actual insert sat above the metal floorboard. Other then that they work great.. All the positives, talked about above, out weight this little negative.. I know they are expensive, I think it's still a value. When you consider the cost of other aftermarket floorboards then adding highway pegs it's really not that much more

I bought the F3 Riders Floorboards. I've only had them on for a day, but I am enjoying them so far.

I'd like to try those. They look comfortable, but the ultimate floorboards help me get on and off a lot easier.

I'm 6'2" and pretty limber. I just throw my leg over.

Good for you. I've got 2 total knee replacements, and they don't bend as good as they once did.

I like the way those look as well! Do you know if you can install highway pegs with those?

I'm not sure. They just attach to the factory peg bracket.

I have these and like them a lot. I also installed the third peg to ease mount/dismount. For me they fit the "naked" look of the F3S better. Considering getting the matching passenger boards, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I ride solo 90 percent of the time.

I had highway pegs on my 2-wheeler and loved them, so when I purchased the Spyder I thought it would be a good idea. Not so much. My Spyder came with pegs, so when I swapped out for the Ultimate FB's I added the highway pegs at the same time. They look really sharp on the trike, but not of much use. Because of its location near the brake pedal I had to set the right one out farther than planned so it wouldn't interfere with using the brake, which meant, for symmetry I placed the left one out farther too.0
On the plus side, I can place my feet up a bit higher than if using just the FB's.

I’ve heard some people say that they can just rest their feet on the top edge of the Ultimate floorboards. Anyone else do that?

I put my heel on the top edge of the floorboard... legs totally stretched out.

Another vote for the Ultimate Floorboards.

The floorboards, along with Baker Leg Wings, provide a bit of protection from rain and cold as well.

Yeah, you can do that. I'm also 6'2", position #5, and I have room to do just that (not with the highway pegs, obviously, although I can rest my feet on top of them if I choose to).
