I tried the download, it won't work with Windows Vista, it says that it has compatability issues. Thanks anyway.
hopefully moab11 will still post them.

Ya, I think it says only for XP windows, oh well, I will send you a pm.
Sorry guys, I was out riding all day yesterday and didn't have a chance to upload these yet.
sickric, do you have anymore pics of how the cables are routed around the airbox? I see that the bars are pretty far forward to help with cable length, how are they for sitting down?

Actually, I just went out and rode this morning for a little while and I moved the bars back about 2 inches, (still no cable problems) With a 3" rear and 2 " front -seat riser, they are great! (without seat riser, the bars would be to high).
I am getting ready for work now, I will have to take and send more pictures in the nex day or so.

Thanks for the update!
I was thinking of the seat riser anyway, looks like I'll have to add it to this summers projects since I really want these risers.
Whenever you get a chance to take the pics, send them my way and I'll add them to this thread.

Regarding the seat riser, 2" in front and 3" in back, how far forward does the riser go? does it go all the way to the gas tank? How many inches from the back of it to the front if it doesn't go all the way to the tank?
Thanks!

Overall length 24 3/8 inches, No it does not go all the way to the tank, about 2 inchs shy. You have to fabricate a strap to hold the front of the seat down.
Do a search for Viper seat riser, lots of good ideas with pictures.
I am still making mine, I will probably do a post with photo's when it is all complete.

I threw one together in less than a half hour Friday, and it worked great except the wind really iced up my Spy blizzard goggles which is hard to do.
What have you guys done to combat this?
I went 3" in front and 4" in the rear. Used 2 pieces of 1/2" OSB, seat foam from a dead Enticer, some nylon strapping, seat cover material, and an electric staple gun. All of which I had lying around. I didn't have any time to plan it out, I just started in on it. I made slits in vinyl (yuck) to use the stock nuts to attach to the tunnel, and short lag bolts from the seat to the OSB. I wouldn't normally have done it this way but I was running out of time. I expect the lags to let loose somewhere down the line, although they held up over about 5 miles of 3 footers at 70mph.
I hope to finish the season on it and then use what I learn from it to plan a nicer setup for next year.
Also what did you guys do to help support the front?
Don't laugh but I took the seat foam scraps, stuffed them in a plastic bag and crammed it into the gap. It was time to head north as my riding buddy arrived and wanted to get going north.
I will post pics tonight.

What about up over the gas tank (the very front of the seat) ? I am 3 inches higher at the front, so I have a gap there that flexes whenever I come down hard on it. I am afraid it will break at some point.

good point... I'm not sure. I'm only 2" in the front and don't seem to have a problem. I plan to make a stuffer of some sort or just buy the deluxe tank bag to hide the gap.

I also am only 2 high in the front and have not done anything yet. I called a guy I know who works at a seat molding place. He is going to get me some closed cell foam blocks 16 x16 x 6 inches. I will probably cut to fit and slide it underneath or glue it to tank or seat.
