Hi folks - I bought a set of M109 Boogie Boards by Xtreme Revolution and am happy to report that they fit the M90 and work very well. In fact, I think they're AWESOME! Very comfortable and they look great on the M90.
I also dragged my peg feelers a few times today and can verify that the boogie boards do NOT touch down when you are at maximum lean angle. That is a great feature for me as I ground away a set of Kuryakyn ISO mini-wings last year - they did not have any peg feelers (lean angle sensor bolts).
As the boogie boards mount to the stock footpeg (after unbolting and removing the rubber footpeg pads) you can still use your stock lean angle sensor bolts - or even better - the awesome Titanium Draggers which I have
See the attached pics - You'll see that even though I've ground the peg feelers, including today, the floorboards are unharmed. Also, as strange as this may sound, I found that the floorboards seemed to give me more control. I found myself able to toss around the bike more freely. Perhaps it's due to the better placement of my boots on the floorboard rather than hanging off. Scraping my boot heels on the pavement is not the most comfortable aspect of riding the M90 somewhat aggressively through some fun twisties and not having this happen was great.
In addition, the Boogie Boards are designed with some inside cuts so that you can 'dig in' and push your feet against the boards similar to a foot peg allowing you to still feel connected to the bike.
I've ridden my buddy's C90 with standard floorboards and these boogie boards feel much different than a standard floorboard where you feel disconnected from the bike. The boogie boards are sort of a cross between a footpeg and a floorboard.
These boogie boards are awesome! I highly recommend them - and at $119 + shipping from MSN (MSRP of $149) they're not nearly as expensive as standard floorboards.
