Who's using them and how are they. I ask because I bought some Rivco's from Fast Eddy (what a good guy) and they were very well made but my foot and the angle just did not get along. A bit to flat and foward for me. If they were back 3-4 inches it would have beem perfect so that's 269.00 down the drain. Befor I go Triumph, any feedback would be great.

I love my floorboards. They are big enough to move my feet around to different positions. A few have had issues with reaching the kickstand, but it just takes some getting used to.

The Triumph floorboards RULE. But here's an idea for our smaller vendors: I'd like to see some sort of attachment for the outer edge that acts as (for lack of a better word) a "heel cup" or short peg. I can stretch my legs out and sorta put my heels on the forward portion of the board, but it's uncomfortable after a few minutes. And my legs are too short for any kind highway pegs.

At first I thought they looked goony and they made getting to the kickstand difficult BUT, they make long trips much more comfortable since I can move my feet around almost to where I could if I had mid pegs. A real plus on the road! you get used to having to stretch to put up the kickstand, but I still think they take away from the sporty look of the BA. After an entire season they are still on the bike. 
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

The right floorboards can make a huge difference on long rides. Good luck!

Triumph boards are great. The aftermarket Harley look-a-like pegs (along with the OEM pegs) that had been put on my America before I bought it now are in the Triumph spare parts box in my workshop. The floorboards have been on for a year and will remain as long as the America graces my life.

I like the Triumph boards but they are very flat. I would like to have a bit of an angle. Getting the sidestand up is a bit difficult but it depends on your shoe. If you have work/hiker style soles, the knobs on the sole make grabbing the rear ball on the sidestand easy. If you have flat sole sneakers, see you in about five minutes... They need to design the Sidestand like the Rocket 3 real easy to use even with the floorboards.
