Custom Battery Box

We're sort of getting ahead of ourselves by showing a finished riser, but at the same time this is the perfect opportunity to illustrate what a seat riser must do. Above and beyond raising a seat from a floor, the riser must pitch the seat rearward to a slight degree. By pitching the seat rearward, the leading edge of the seat will more effectively support your thighs. Without this thigh support, your legs will splay outward and stress your hip joints. Most importantly, the rearward pitch will distribute your body weight over a greater area of the seat-specifically to the seat back.
