Just got mine, but the threads in the risers only go about halfway through so I can't mount the top deck.
And I've been to a few hardware stores and they don't sell tap's for it (we have the metric system in holland).

Dude, that blows.
Just order a tap online if you have to. It just sucks cause I know its going to start getting really cold out there soon.
At least harvest season is coming soon. Tell all the folks @ Amnesia I said hello.

Dank U

big dee, it's been a day and I see labellethrasher posted first (you know, before I could).

So I stand corrected, good sire. I stand corrected.

And for those who need it, here are some bi-level instructions:

Welcome to the next era of Wakeskate design and congratulations on the purchase of your new Cassette Bi-Level. Whether or not you know it, you’ve just joined a wakeskate revolution. Since this patented technology is new to our industry, we’ve included some instructions as well as wear and tear information on the Bi-Levels.

There are five components to your new Bi-Level: The Fins, Riser Plates, Riser Plate Hardware, Top Deck, and Bottom Deck. To Assemble your new Bi-Level, first attach the Riser Plates to the Bottom deck (the deck with the rider’s name/pro model graphic on it) using the Riser Plate Hardware. Make sure to assemble the Riser Plates to the Bottom Deck with the drain holes (for water drainage) facing down and the thicker ends of the Riser Plates pointing toward the center line or “waist” of the board. Next attach your fins in whatever configuration you want them. Now, it’s time to grip your top deck. We’ve included the grip and foam on all of our decks under the shrinkwrap this year, our idea is to get behind our Interactive Wakeskate Campaign (get in touch with your board, bro). Our thought was that giving people the freedom to grip their boards in whatever pattern/ individual touches they want would bring them closer and give each deck a more individual feel. Now that you’ve customized your grip with paint pens, sticker placement, or spider web grip patterns (Corey Webster, Thrashin’) it’s time for the last step in assembling your new Bi-Level. Punch holes using the Riser Plate screws or a flat head screw driver through the grip or foam in your top deck through the pre-drilled holes in the top deck. Then line up the top deck holes you just made to the square pattern of holes in the plates that are attached to the bottom deck. The threads on your Riser Plate Hardware are sealed with LockTite to ensure that they won’t let water in or loosen while riding. If you’re having trouble attaching the two decks to the plates, try loosening the hardware that attaches the Riser Plates to the bottom deck. Once you get everything threaded and tightened up, you’re almost there. Read the rest of the information provided on this sheet and you’ll be good to go.

We want you to ride this board until you destroy it! Due to the flex patterns of the two decks, this board has been designed to be shredded until it breaks. Replacement top and bottom decks are available at your local Cassette or online dealer once you’re ready for a new custom setup. Cassette’s wakeskate vision started with simple skateboarding principles in mind and we’re staying true to what we know. Yes, these boards are sealed and designed to last as long as possible, but like a skateboard, it will crack, delaminate, or possibly break over time. But also like a skate setup, if your top or bottom deck breaks, you’ve already got 4 of the 5 components needed to complete your Bi-Level, so you don’t have to buy a whole new complete. We’ve taken this Interactive Wakeskate Campaign (get in touch with your board, bro) thing to a whole new level in 2005. Just know that using this board on anything but water is not only dangerous, but will greatly reduce the life of your board and is strongly not recommended by us.

I enjoy reading that every time.

Alright so I rode my bi-level a few times and I love it. No cracks, delams, hardware problems or 05 graphic showin through Laughing

Just a little paint missing from hitting a rail..
But like Slothboy420 said whats up with the screws on the bottom.
The rail material we use must be a little soft because the screws make the board stop dead, I almost died yesterday Mad

Has anyone tried using any kind of recessed screw?
Or would that void my warranty? Just kidding.

Some before and after pics

I never understood why they use metal risers and GAY screws. It just doesn't make any sense.
