My wife and daughter have both had near misses from the foot hoops this year. I honestly thought my daughter had broken her ankle as her body and leg was 90° to the stuck boot in a neutral positioned sled while she was laying in the snow screaming in pain when I arrived on scene. Very Scary. Luckily, she must have had just enough room in the boot that resulted in a badly sprained ankle. I had my incident in 2009 with a blown knee that has never been the same and sometimes limits my technical riding.
Honestly I’d rather have just cut them off as they serve no structural purpose but was concerned resale would suffer.
While going through spare parts bins, I came across some 6-7” risers that seemed to fit the bill. A Powermadd and a stock BRP riser. Cut them in half. The 4-5” Polaris riser used on T-Top Polaris Steering posts from 07-08 looks cleaner but didn’t have enough. I don’t care for adding weight but the safety of this solution far exceeds the weight penalty.

I still have a few sets left for the season. Shoulda sold that riser and used the proceeds to pick up a set.
