Yamaha FX Nytro Ergonomic and Cosmetic Upgrades

Some mods for comfort, some for performance, some to look AWESOME.
Mar 10, 2008

The stock Nytro MTX does not come with a pivoting riser block, so the amount of adjustment is limited. We wanted to rotate the riser forward and back to find the ideal riding position, so a mod was in order.
