i was thinking about this.
it seems to me if the riser function was a manual control item- rather that a counter weight dummy system it might be a fair comprimise.
it could be a system where a fella had a pull - like a choke pull -
where by he could manually do the same thing a good working riser would do...
but it could be used optionally.

but i think vetteman is a purest and doesnt want anything in his exhausts way...
