Do I really need the "floorboard hardware kit" to go along with the floorboards? I have no need for the heel shifter and the stock brake pedal works good as is. If I can bypass the kit and buy just the floor boards I will be a happy camper. Otherwise I might just go with the RIVCO floorboards and forget the hassle and extra cost of the Triumph set up.

Anyone?

 
I notice when I arrive at a typical rally all of the HD riders bow down down out of respect. My friend (an HD rider) says that I'm mistaken and that the HD guys are bending over to pick up rocks to throw at me. Thankfully, I have yet to be hit by a rock and if need be I can out run them all.

You likely require the mounting hardware kit , boards , extended board toe shifter & board brake pedal.
You do not need to fit the heel shifter if you do not desire (however you still have to purchase it in the controls kit)

Standard control arms are not long enough, nor provide adequate clearance to operate controls safely with boards fitted.

There's no way to mount the boards without the kit without buying a machine shop.

ok, I'm a bit more realistic than that. But still, that sounds like a challenge. Thanks for the info. Now I know.
