Hi there:
In earlier discussions of riser block someone had asked for pictures of the two blocks beside each other. I remembered this when I did mine so here they are.

Just got my riser installed. Wish the bars were back some more. That inch does help but wish they could have made adjustable bars to swing them back another inch or so. I have been riding my Spyder for a month now and must admit that the riding position is not good for me. The foot pegs are to high and to far back for me. I can't imagine anyone 6 foot or over driving the Spyder for any length of time. I'm looking at have a saddle made that would add about 1 1/2 inches of height to get my legs to straiten a bit. That's going to kill the 1 inch of riser heigth. Good Luck Guys.

You know, my husband is 6'4" and the riding position doesn't bother him at all. We both have the riser block installed. He is installing the highway brackets to extend his legs on the long haul but he has commented that the ride is pretty comfortable for him really.

That would be me. Thank you now you can see the differance between the two. :thumbs:
would be nice if they would make a 2" or 2 1/2". But 1" is better than none.
