I'm a self-taught pianist so I share many flaws in my playing. Most of the time I manage to do stuff correctly but sometimes I really don't know. I'll post all my request and questions regarding tips for riff and songs here.

Here's the current problem. My band and I composed an awesome song but it's really harder than any stuff we ever played together and it's a big challenge for us all but we're all very excited to work on this. We gave everyone two weeks to complete a part of the song and we'll meet again in two weeks to put it together. My part has some not so hard solos that I managed to play smootly with my two hands. But now I got this not-so-hard right to play... My right hand is quite skillful and agile except for the pinky and I got the following riff to play at 165 tempo.

Is it easily playable with only the right hand or should I use both hands ? What fingers should I use ? Thanks in advance.

My fingering (ring finger is the weakest) would be:
1 3 4 1 1 3 4 1 1 3 4 1 3 4 5 4 1 3 4 1 1 3 4 1 2 5 4 1 235 235 235
1 3 4 1 1 3 4 1 1 3 4 1 3 4 5 4 1 3 4 1 1 3 4 1 2 5 4 1 14 14 14
I play as much as possible with one hand as I switched from piano to keyboard way too early and now I lack hand to hand independence on fast passages.
