Rivco Footboards
Blackbear
The boars mount solid enough for me to get on one at a time with no sense of it not being solid... I weigh 175#...answer...they are solid. Your wife will find herself sitting up a bit higher than normal on the Rune. the Rivco footboards will have her sitting a bit like a horse jockey. My lady friend finds the boards very comfortable... I also have the flip up Corbin rumble seat... it is awesome too. Be careful riding with a passenger.... it takes a bit of hgetting used to. On my VTX I never even felt a passenger... on the Rune I feel uncomfortably top heavy with a 130 lb lady on board. I am getting used to it but just a word of caution... Have your passenger throw her leg over the seat before mounting the floorboards. My passenger stepped on the board while I was holding the bike the first time.... kinda like you would put a foot in the stirrup and then throw a leg over...I almost lost it... the 900 lb bike is a lot to hold up... anything that throws it off balance will REALLY throw it off balance. Finally... the Rivco requires a hole for each footboard boss be drilled thru the back chrome cover... a necessary evil... You will not regret purchasing these boards. I put them on myself in 2 hours with no experience working on cycles.. Some of the frame bolts were reversed from what Rivco's instructions showed and the screw that holds the board to the boss (at least on my pair) both were cross threaded after 2 or 3 turns... Had to chase the threads out and use stainless bolts... Check to make sure they screw in ok before you get them stuck ...I tthought mine would break off...then a real problem... Enuf ranting here... good luck...
