Yep, the tall seat does help out a bunch for us, um, bigger kids! Mine is the SDG. The difference is huge over the stock seat in how the bike fits. It might be just the cost-effective ticket for ya. Seems like those lift kits were relatively pricey comoared to the seats.
And, I think that vent hose just gets piped down the side of the case! I got the Takegawa filter now (K&N clone) and it has one port on it, so that's where it is now! :thumb:

One complaint I have heard about the riser kits is that it make the bike too "top Heavy", or meaning the handling is compromised...short wheel base with more height, thoughts are to be more unstable...
That is what I have heard. I have never ridden a Fiddy with the riser kit, but I also dont know anyone in our area that is sporting it either.
The tall seat is the best option, IMO.

I think I have 3/4-1" rubber bushings under my tank, too. I had to use them to get the petcock to clear the Takegawa air filter after doing the big bore kit. Even with the bushings, it clears only by about 1/4".
btw-Wolf, I'm sure you've seen it, but click the link in my sig line to see the SDG seat for reference. That pic was before the BB kit, although the visual difference is undetectable.
