• 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.

Who has the best foot Floorboards?

I am looking for the best floorboards for more comfortable riding. I was waiting for Jerrys Welding but that is now over 4 months of waiting. Can anyone tell me whose Floorboards are the most comfortable.
 
I'm also looking for floorboards... what I've done is ordered a pr. of Harley Davidson boards via Ebay ($45.00) and my friend that owns body/welding shop will install for me. He is an active biker and enjoys doing 'off the wall' things just like this project. While he has the bike, he'll also install the highway bracket/pegs as well.

Have not heard of any floorboards on the market as yet.

I also have the Dean Smith ones...We just installed them three weeks ago..Only ridden once due to PA weather..They are very professional looking and made..I have pictures but I'm not smart enough to post them..Contact [email protected] or phone 717-225-1413 and dean can send you pictures..Hope this helps..larryd :2thumbs:
 
I have not decided on a Spyder - yet - but I did contact Smith Industial and Stephanie Smith sent me about 10 photos: finished and with someone sitting on a Spyder with the boards.

I have managed to misplace them :cus:

I think you can upload pics by using the paperclip icon - that or someone provide instructions.

As I recall - and PLEASE correct me if I am wrong - but all four must be ordered. I think it is $800 for the set and an extra $50.00 for the hele-toe shifter extension if you need/want it. An extension for the parking brake is part of the base set.

I also saw the Industrial Specialties ones in Daytona. They are just starting to gear up to make quite a few items for the Spyder. They have an awesome parking brake pedal as well.

+1:agree:, these floorboards are definitely worth the wait until they've got them available.
 
I have the Dean Smith floorboards, and they are good quality and are comfortable. Took highway pegs off. Make sure you let them know if it's a SM5 or SE5.
 
I found the updated pics of the Smith footboards. Let's see if this works. Pics of finished pieces as well as pics installed with a person seated. Note: I do not have these boards. In fact I do not - yet - have a Spyder.

From Dean:
"The price is 850.00 for the front and rear set with
the shifter and a parking brake extension, 800.00 less the shifter with a
two to three week delivery."

And in followup Q about finish and brake pedal:
"There are some machined surfaces as well as the dull finish. The brake is hydraulic so the pedal stays the same but there is enough
clearance."

Here are a few pics of the floor boards, parking brake, and hand brake that ISCI will be coming out with shortly. Keep an eye on the web site. I was told that ordering information should be up within the next few weeks.

This is the ONE!!! i just hope they would color match them to stock pieces.

Did you get a chance to sit on one? i am wondering if springs on brake pedal is strong enough for you to ryde with foot on it without fear of "riding " the brake like this Harley set up i've sat on. There was no chance of riding the brake on this one below

I sat on the Spyder that had teh ISC floorboards. They're very nice and quite sturdy feeling as fell. They have plenty of spce to move your feet around on also. Not sure about riding the brake though, I never leave my foot resting on the brake pedal.
 
Where do the ISC boards attach in the front? Bracket to the motor mount perhaps?

Also, any shift lever extension for the SM5?

Thanks,

Pete

I wanted to respond to your e-mail about the Spyder parts. We
should have our pricing in place by the end of next week and should be able to start taking orders by the end of this month. We were manufacturing prototypes to gauge interest, and we have seen a good response so far. I will call or e-mail you back when we are ready to go live and mass produce these. Meanwhile, keep checking our website for the addition of a Spyder products page, which should be ready in a week or so. These floorboards will be compatible with the SM5 also. Thank you for your interest.

I was all set to order the floorboards from Dean when I saw the post from ISC company. I emailed them and this is the response I just received.
