That bar riser is a great idea, and by the looks of his site, its not too expensive either. In fact, I'm thinking of making my own in my machining class. It doesn't seem like it would be overly hard, and we have all the stuff to do it with.
And that 'Seat Jack' is also a good idea; it allows you to carry a second person w/o taking away from the beauty of having a single person.
And as for the running boards, I found something that should work perfect for what I need, and is pretty cheap. I'm sure you guys have seen these before, but these would seem to solve my problem since I'm always standing on the edge rail.

And lastly, as far as the snownboards are concernred, I guess I'll just have to make something up for that.
Thanks for the help guys.
