LOL... To kind...

I am still waiting on the rear rack from KewlMetal (Almost a month now for one lousy part I have called twice in the last week and a half... No return call:gaah the floorboards and the ISO grips...

Then my eyes are on RT shocks and we should be good to go then as far as the big heavy stuff goes hyea:

Sure... Finally got the rack and the SFB Floorboards...

 

[GhostRyder]

VERY NICE updates! Your :spyder2: ryde really STANDS OUT in all of that winter wonderland! :clap:

I still haven't purchased mine yet--maybe my wife can be persuaded in a month or so, right around my birthday!

 

[IWN2RYD]

I know this is going to be a :duh: moment once you answer the question. Can you provide a link to the SFB Floorboards? I just can't find them. Thanks!

Happy to help... I purchased them from this company (Tricplate.com) Under the NEW AND COMING SOON....

 

[IWN2RYD]

Found them, THANKS! :thumbup: It looks like they replace the front pegs too? Do they bolt right up? Those are the best boards I've seen yet. Just enough for a little foot repositioning during those long days.

Yes.. That is one of the reasons I purchased these. They mount with the factory pin and takes 5 minutes total for both units. I mean TOTAL.

There are two addition screws per unit that hold the "Cap" that we see called the Foot Peg. I used Locktite... They are solid... VERY comfortable to boot.

The best way to describe the difference in the leg position is this... On any other systems I have tried (RS and RT...) I have always needed a few seconds after getting off the bike to be fully functional with my legs.

These are the first ones where I get off the bike It feels like I was never on it!

Seriously. I could run right then and there if needed... Now I know it is hard to understnad and all of our bodies respond differently, but that is my experience.

I wear an avg sized boot when I ryde. A pair of HD's that are 11 1/2's... There is a little wiggle room on the boards, but not much. This concerned me at first. That was until I drove on them for quite a while and found I never really needed to move around like I am accustomed to.

For the long trips, only time will tell. But to me these are a home run. I would have to think then that the ISCI's are a grand slam. Not just in expense but usability with the addition foot pegs they can attach. :thumbup:

I will have to measure that for you... Do not have a tape measure handy today (In the moving boxes)...

 

[IWN2RYD]

Took the wife for a nice half a tank of gas Ryde today... Stopped by the Des Moines Pier for a spell...

 

[GhostRyder]

I'm really lovin' your photos!

Thanks for the 600mi. break-in link you had posted earlier :thumbup: My Spyder's still under 100mi. I will try to avoid ryding on the freeways for now, and definitely contain myself from goin' full throttle pps:

 

[IWN2RYD]

Thanks man... As far as the break in thingy. It seems there are always two sides to what is the right way to do it. I choose the better safe than not side. :2thumbs:

Now start a thread and post some dog gone pics man!!
