| | Posted : 14 Jun 2012 - 02:41 Post title : After Market Floorboards? | | | I've done a bit of searching and have yet to find a set of after market (non-Triumph brand) floor boards.
Anyone have any insight on the matter? Thanks.

They look nice, replace stock pegs, and cost much less than the Triumph accessory boards. I may give them a try and be the guinea pig for the forum.

I will need to do some math to see if it is worth it, but I'm sure it is. I get %10 off Triumph accessories, free install or free shipping to me from the dealership where I bought the T-Bird.
Triumph Brand Accessories:
Rider Boards = $229 + $189 "kit".
Pass Boards = #209 + $179 "kit".
X .9 (-%10) = $725 appx shipped to me.
RIVCO Brand Accessories:
Rider Boards = $229, no "kit" needed
Pass Boards = $229, no "kit" needed
add $20 shipping = appx $480 shipped to me
The big question is do I ***REALLY*** need the Triumph mounting kit for the floor boards or can they be mounted without??? I do not want the heel shift level so if that is the biggest selling point for the floor boards then forget it.

About the triumph boards you must put on the mounting
Kit for them to work can't mount them without it!
It's the triumph way

The Classic floorboards are $229.95 a set, the more fancy chromed out floorboards are $289.95, I'm already going to skuff up the chrome as it is on the floorboards so no need to spend extra. I'm thinking more function over form at this point in time.

For the passenger there is an additional swing arm to bring the board closer or lower. Quite handy.

I'm just curious as to where it's place one's feet compared to Triumph's floorboards. I'm thinking they'd be slightly forward and angled back a bit, any chance you could confirm?
