Can you post a couple more pics? Maybe a top down to see both boards and hows the riding feedback? Do the shifter and brake positions feel jacked up?

Oh, one more. Cant tell, but did you go with the shakers or flats?

Thanks brother.
Here is the feedback

Of course it is not going to be as good as full setup.

The shifter and brake pad took some time getting used to, the shifter feels a bit tight, but I tried with my big boots and it is still working OK, note that I installed the floorboards slightly tilted up so that also crowds the shifter a bit.

The brake clears the right board, and I tried it in a couple of simulated emergency, and I can lock the rear wheel so far.

The comfort is un-f*&^in-believable, seriously, longer rides are amazing, I think with my Lepera Plush that I keep for multi day trips, I will be set.

Here is a photo for the shifter side (also note I got the 'shaker style' which adds a bit of height.

You can always raise your shifter up by taking it off the splines and reattaching. One bolt to move.
