Cheetah Factory Racing Snowboard Rack InstallInstalling a CFR Snowboard Rack on a 2007 Yamaha Phazer Mountain Lite snowmobile 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 http://cheetahfactoryracing.com

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. weknowsnow.com

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. Optional: Drill a new 3rd hole in the center of the J bracket for added stability. As the two holes closest to the J in the J bracket are not used on the Phazer install.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 CFR!
