Anyone interested in a trade? I just mounted some rivco driver floorboards and I dont believe they are going to work for me. I would prefer to have the heel shifter if I used floorboards as I am tall and upshifting is easier for me using heel. The original pegs work well on my left/shifter side but didnt like the feel of peg position on right side, hence the floorboard try. Thought these rivco may work as compromise but they dont quite fit me. I would also sell the rivco's outright for 175$ plus shipping. They are out of the box new, drove a couple miles realized a no go.. I realize the triumph boards cost more, so we could work something out. I am located in Montana. Thanks.

might be interested in boards, do they fit without movement like stock pegs or do they move around like kuraykan's do before using the bushing from FastEddy.? how good a price straight out?

These fit tight when I installed them, seems to be no play. I paid 200$ plus ship. would sell for 170$ plus ship. thanks.

I don't want to screw up a deal but why didn't they work for you? I think I'm the opposite of you. I don't like the heel/toe shifter and the Triumph boards seem awkward and bring my knees up too far. I'm around 6'1" how tall are you? I was going to try a set of Rivco's eventually.

I am 6'3". My right foot feels good on the rivco, but my shift foot doesnt feel right . With foot Pegs I think I can rock my heel back to shift, whereas the rivco I basically have to lift my whole foot up to shift( left ankle dont bend up no more ). With the pegs, oddly, my left foot feels pretty good but not the right. One pet peeve of the bike is the brake pedal, no matter how I've adjusted it it is not right. I've had a couple run of the mill jap cruisers and the peg/footboard to shifter and bake position is fine Looked like the triumph floorboard setup has different brake pedal in addition to heel shifter. Just lookin for a way to get more comfortable on the bike, and gets kind of expensive to experiment options.
