Go to the "how to" section. Lamont has a nice step by step on installing the risers - looks easy to me. The only complaint I have been hearing is getting to the zip ties that bind the cables to the frame.

Jim,
I put the risers on by myself and it took less than an hour. After having done it, I could do it in even less time than that now. It is fairly easy. The hardest part is if you need to go down into the spyder and cut off some ties to get some of your extra length in cables. Remember to get 3 inch risers if you already have the 1' BRP riser (that's what I did) If you don't have the BRP you can get the 4" if you need too. My favorite thing about the risers is that I could adjust them specifically to my preferences as far as how far back or forward I wanted them tilted. I absolutely love these and they are by far my best mod I would say.
