The Phat II's from Scootworks were about the first mod I did to my bike and indeed....it made a huge difference in the comfort level of the bike. No more leaning forward to reach the handlebars! With some highway pegs and a good aftermarket seat....you will have a nice "road couch" in no time....

Just got mine yesterday and installed them last night. Can't see in your picture if you have highway pegs, but I couldn't use mine with any comfort before - now I can get on them, lean back and relax. Huge difference.

Enjoy!

I'm jealous! I want a pair, but I'm all out of $$ for the time being.

Did you all use the offset holes? If not how is the clearance? Was there any cable issues you had to contend with?

I used the center holes - it sounds like most people don't. I had no cable issues although the brake hose gets stretched a little tight.

I used the offset holes and still had to get a longer front brake line on my '03.
