Several years ago I purchased a used set of MCL seat risers from this forum. I'm just getting around to installing them, but not too sure how. I've searched the forum, but can't find installation instructions. Help!
MCL seat risers
- Thread starter wcleland
- Start date
Once the unit is removed from the bike (four mounting bolts plus rear tank bolt), the unit dissembles fairly easy. If there is not a right and left stamped on the MCL’s, note the direction of the two oem pieces being replaced. Some pre pics may help but you will find that everything slides apart once disassembly begins. If you decide you do not like them, let me know.
I might have the instructions at home.. but doubtful if I can find 'em.
Pop seat, remove the through bolt that holds the tail end of the gas tank. 5 10mm bolts hold the bracket between the rails. Pull out and replace the vertical nylon pieces with the aluminum brackets. I think there was two pins going side to side, one held on with clips.
Reverse for re-assembly.

Thanks folks. I'll take another look at it tomorrow.

I have the MCL handlebar riser and a pair of the “fixed” model peg lowering blocks - but I’ve never heard of the seat riser. Anyone got a photo?

Thanks Andrew. Very interesting indeed - I hadn’t previously seen these, but I had already discovered the trick of installing the seat on the middle position at the front and one of the lower positions at the rear - to reduce the “sliding forward” tendency.
That’s a good thing given the flame-out at MCL over the last year or so.
