I like em a lot. The bike is quite a bit more comfortable for me (inseam challenged 5'7" on a good day) with the boards as opposed to the pegs. The Heel/toe shifter took some getting used to as there isn't a lot of room for your foot. It seems as though the shifter should have been made a little longer to give your foot some wiggle room. Overall I'm very pleased.

I tried the Triumph boards/heel shifter on a demo Rocket and with my big dogs there was NO way I could get my toe under the shifter so I was forced to either use the heel shifter else shift with edge of boot. Triumph did a good job on those boards aesthetically but for me the Rivcos work better (they have plenty of toe room due to a flat design which feels a little strange at first but works great once used to them).
