I understand many Phazer owners might not be interested in this but here is the first of a couple of mods we completed on the Phazer MTN Lite:

Cheetah Factory Racing Rack Install

Installing a CFR Rack on a 2007 Yamaha Phazer Mountain Lite requires a couple of slight modifications to the sled and also to the rack hardware. Below is a series of pictures and brief description of what AKD and I did to get the rack installed. CFR Racks are bomber and I'm really happy with the product, check them out at <a>http://cheetahfactoryracing.com</a>

Disclaimer: This requires you to drill into certain areas on your
brand new sled. Double and triple check everything, you don't need
to follow these directions 100% - They are meant to serve as a guide as
to what we did to get things working. Your install should be pretty close. <a>weknowsnow.com</a>

This method doesn't need an air rivet gun for installation.

Step 1: Read, Understand CFR directions and assemble rack

Step 2: Remove red stock Phazer reflectors from tunnel

Step 3: Remove Phazer rear tunnel box

Step 4: Install snowboard in CFR Rack, place between tail binding or position which ever way works best.

Step 5: Place the metal J hook just behind the first rivet on the tunnel just under the Phazer rear tunnel box. (which you removed earlier)

Step 6: Mark metal J hook upper hole locations with Sharpie.

Step 7: Place CFR U bracket over recently removed reflector area. Mine mounted under the reflector holes almost flush with the tunnel support.

Step 8: Mark locations of lower CFR U bracket.

Step 9: Drill Holes for upper metal J hook. Secure with hex key bolts and nylon nuts. Washers on both sides.

Additional Hardware Required:

(3) Hex Key Bolts - #10-24 x 3/4"
(6) Washers - #10
(3) Nylon Nuts - #10-24 LOCK NUT COARSE

Step 10: Drill Holes for lower CFR U bracket. Secure with CFR hardware.

Step 11: Install Phazer rear tunnel box

Step 12: Go snowmoshredding ASAP and checkout <a>CFR!</a>

Great info thank you. How much is the rack?

$130 via Thin Air Motorsports (Truckee, CA) -- Google them

CFR is by far the best rack system out. Compared to the rack yamaha offered this is clearly the better choice. And saves 70$ too....

Thats pimp!

Nice rack man did you happen to find something to hold possibly a extra gas can in the back or something like that for storing stuff on the back of the tunnel?

CFR (http://cheetahfactoryracing.com) makes some really nice tunnel racks. two sizes. http://cheetahfactoryracing.com/drack.htm

Nice that's exactly what I was thinking about good stuff

That is one super thin tunnel with a big hole in it...I don't know how much weight, especially bouncing weight on the bumps that this tunnel could handle...

I'm not a snowboarder but it looks like you're gonna have fum this winter nice job!
