I'm considering fitting Rivco passenger boards with the relocation arms as my Leatherlyke bags don't leave much room for the pillion's legs and feet.

Does anyone know from experience whether the boards can be stood on when mounting and dismounting the bike? The stock pegs are OK, but I wonder about alloy plates especially with extension arms.
 
They work great on my ride. Pillion weighs in about 160lbs and can put her weight on one side with no problem.
 
Shouldn't be a problem . . . use 'em just fine. Pillions about 140-180.

I did drill the frame a little so the brackets would mount flush to the bike. Once tightened . . . good to go!
 
You captains quoting your pillion's weight :shock: :shock: :shock: you'd better pray they never read this forum. :shock: 8)
 
I have the passenger boards with extensions, I occasionally stand on them to see ahead in traffic, I weigh in at over 260, they don't move. :lol: :lol: :lol: 8)
 
My 11 year old daughter at 5'7" and 125 pounds stands on them just fine. I had the same concern as you. I however, have not tried to stand on them. My wife has, she's 5'2" and 95 pounds.

Oh, and she (daughter) LOVES them so much more than the pegs.
