Hi BlackBear,
I have the revico boards also.
#1. The boards mount securely and I have not had a problem with weight on them.
#2. They are positioned perfect. I like the boards over the pegs for the additional protection it gives the mufflers, with that soft, easily scratchable chrome.
#3. Overall, I am pleased with the boards.
If I were to purchase boards now, I would look into the boards that are to claimed to mount in 15 mins. They would have to be in a position that the passangers heels to not scrape the pipes. they do not have to cut into the side covers.
#4. dislikes, removing them is just a little of a pain. there are some little pins that are part of the exterior mounting. they are easily lost if you are not paying close attention.
Rivco sent me a new set of pins and new round chrome covers at n/c.
#5. I have a good deal of hands on tools experience and it took me quiet a bit longer than two hours to complete the job. The instructions could use some help and I had a couple of bolts that were also stripped out, rivco sent more at n/c.
#6. look into all of your options before you choose. When i got mine there were only 2 manufacturers at the time.
Good Luck,
RuneRunner
