Default Just put on PhatRisers II

I just installed Scootworks PhatRisers II last week on the advice of Andre (Low&Slow). It gives 2 inches of rise, and 3 inches of pullback - just what I needed! Now I can sit back in my seat and actually use the backrest (Mustang Seat). Very pleased so far. I did a 40 mile ride the other day and I had no shoulder pain what so ever, whereas before I'd be hurting in my right shoulder after a few miles.

You will need a LARGE ratchet wrench just to free the bolt. The podunk wrench that's fine around the house just couldn't cut it.

I did have to relocate the throttle cables in front of the triple tree. They were just a little too tight for my taste, and it was easy enough to do.

NOTE - The PhatRisers II don't cove the triple tree holes completely. Not sure why they don't include rectangular rubber gaskets to place over the hole. The round one does the job, but it kind of "gushes" out in the middle of the form.

I ordered a BreakAway Motorcycle Cruise Control.... then I'll be ready for a LONG RIDE!!
