I was so pleased with the quality and workmanship (along with the ease of installation) on the Seal floorboards that I just bought for my 2012 RT that I promised to tell you how great they are! I figured there's no better way to do that than to provide a video so here it is:
In the video, I mention that I'd just installed the floorboards but hadn't ridden with them attached. I then rolled off a 300-mile day and found them to be VERY comfortable and serviceable.
I was wearing moon boots (still wintry here in Utah a week ago when I rode) and I still had plenty of space for my feet.
Further, by providing me with more outboard space, it offered me increased stability on curves.
And, of course, being able to move my feet forward and backward a bit was great!
I'm looking forward even more to riding with the floorboards when the weather gets nicer so I can shed my Antarctic boots for something more comfortable as that will allow me even more freedom of movement.
BTW, I'm 6'1" and weigh about 185 with most of my height in my legs. Because I'm thin-hipped, I often get thigh cramps while riding anything but a cruiser (where my legs can go forward) so I have to stand on the floorboards upon occasion. I used to stand on the pegs...talking about a bit squirrely...but standing on the floorboards was a cinch. And, yes, I have tried the banana route and a variety of saddles and other remedies but you can't change thin hips and doing the splits on Spyders.
So, hat's off to John Anderson for excellent work and, if you couldn't already tell, I'd strongly recommend that you purchase the Seal floorboards if you want long-distance comfort.
