PhatRiser II from Scootworks...

I was off work today, so I drove up to the Scootworks shop to look around. Being only an hour away, I had always wanted to check 'em out, but just never made the trip. Great guys there, very helpful, and I made an impulse buy

Just finished installing them, and my bike feels more comfortable than I could ever have imagined!

Can't wait for the rain to stop (16 days and counting) so I can put some miles on the bike and see how they are during distance rides.

Well, how tall are you ... usual seating position ... etc..

I put these on my 1700 Nomad a couple of months ago and love them. The 1700's bars are a little closer to the rider than the 1600s.
These get the bars a little farther up and away from you knees, yet not too tall to make your hands fall asleep.
Set the cruise and it's a very relaxed position.

Could you send some of that rain to Texas, we sure could use it.

wnt2ryd · 07-12-2013, 10:28 PM

If I could send it, I'd put it on the first thing smokin' and get it OUTTA HERE!!!!

**Framer** · 07-12-2013, 11:11 PM

I told you that you would like them. I'm going to try and take a ride in the morning and try mine out. Your rain is heading our way.... We need it

I put the Phat II's on my 05 1600 & loved em! Then I went the next step to 14" apes & love them even more! My back & shoulders sure love em!14's put my hands just below shoulder height so there's no problem with numb hands. Enjoy your risers but if you get a chance to try some mini apes, do it!

Sick of the rain... not sure how many days but dammit man. Enough is enough. I have been caught twice this week in 30% MONSOON! Weather man dont know Skeet!

I got rained on Thursday morning. Just enough to wet the windshield, then it was gone.

Bud2rat · 07-13-2013, 02:44 PM

I've been unable to ride due to rain everyday. It has rained everyday since I returned from my road trip on June 26th. I have never seen water standing in my yard the entire 18 years of living here. There is about 3" standing in the back yard. I tried to mow the lawn last Saturday, ending up sticking the lawn tractor, so was going to pull it out with my 4X4 Dodge and ending up sticking it. I had to go to my neighbors and use his John Deere tractor to get the truck out. What a mess.

wnt2ryd · 07-13-2013, 03:17 PM

Looks like we might get a little break tomorrow Robert... I'm planning on a ride for sure, even if it's a short one. You have any plans?
