Default Another SOOS kit installed

Simple addition, at least it would have been if the MOCO had chosen not to strip my right side rear bolt hole.

I retapped the hole and voila 20 minutes later I have my footboards outboard slightly. I was skeptical that such a small change would amount to much of a difference in comfort but I have to admit that it does make a big difference.

I've read alot of good reviews about the soos kits. Thinking of picking up the 3/4" kit when there back in stock.

I noticed the 3/4" kits were temporary out of stock recently. Is there higher demand for 3/4" kit vs 1" kit and if so why?

I honestly don't know. I made batches of 3/4" and 1" as soon as I was able to get my hands on an '09 scoot. The 1" kits flew off the shelf while the 3/4" moved very slowly. Now over the last month and a half, demand for the 3/4" kit has taken off. No rhyme or reason. It's hard to judge the market.
