Freestyle SXR Build!

[djkorn1]

I am gutting and re-building my SXR for freestyle.
Here is the last pic before I started to take her apart.

[IceRocket1286]

awesome!

[djkorn1]

This is what I am planning to have done to her before its all over. (Hopefully by Lanier)

Fresh Paint and Graphics
New Diamond cut Hydro-Turf (custom design)
Turfed Rails
UMI -2 Pole (polished)
UMI Blowsion Steering kit
UMI 4 degree Freestyle bars
Hood strap kit
24-7 Footholds
24-7 Scupper
Vilder Charging Flywheel
Fresh Battery
All New Custom hoses
R&D 28cc Girdled Head
Factory Wet Pipe (custom finish)
24-7 Universal Footholds
750 GPH Rule-Mate Bilge Pump
Aftermarket Intake Grate
Chop 1 inch off of the back of the Ride Plate
Bored Nozzle

(and a few other custom ideas that I haven't completely worked out yet)

[Waste Land]

UMI 4 degree Freestyle bars

Ummm...0degree would be freestyle bars if im not mistaken. I could be wrong but most freestylers use 0 or flat bars.

Also check in with XMW for pole and steering product

[PancakePete]

Cool. Keep us posted on the Build.:Banane01:

[MADMAT]

Cant wait to see that thing doing huge rolls this summer!!
Its gonna look and handle killer!!:rocketwhore: :AR15firing:

[Prem1x]

Right on! There needs to be more SXR's representing freeride :werd:

[ski4]

you better hurry up
springs around the corner since ski season sucks

[IceRocket1286]

2 sets of footholds or did u just get really excited while typing?

[onesojourner]

where have you guys been. 2 per side is the newest thing!

[LBE]

I must have missed the most important part. Reenforcement!

[Big Kahuna]

I must have missed the most important part. Reenforcement!


and make that thing even heavier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Braaapppp

[Sting]

wow, didn't think of that, sweet!!!

the list for my SXR looks very similar except for a new hood thanks to Icerocket :headbang:

[justincr250]

[orange flattop freestyler]

Good luck buddy,


although i did like the "Blowjob" graphic...
I think you should get that one made up for real!!!

[IceRocket1286]

wow, didn't think of that, sweet!!!

werd. have you guys tried fixing that chip on top yet?

[Waste Land]

where have you guys been. 2 per side is the newest thing!

Sorry, he forgot you were freestyle god:hail:

Actually most people i seen run a front foot strap rather that two pair of holds

[Ross_C]

When I rode your ski in Daytona, you already had foot holds and bars on it...are you putting different footholds in?

That ski ran really well there. I'll rip when you get done with it!

[djkorn1]

That was just a list of 'everything' it will have. Some of it is allready done, but I am gutting it down to the hull so I can paint, etc... I'm not replacing the 24-7 footholds. They are bad ass!:hail:


I like the 4 degree bars better, more comfortable and just as wide. I think the term Freestyle for the bars signifies a crossbar????:ponder:

Ross, I'm glad you liked it. You did some big ass rolls on it. It should be faster, with the girdled head, a fresh rebuild, freestyle cone, intake grate impellor and hopefully "a port job" if I got the $. :ugh2:

Oh well, time to go wrench.

:headbang::headbang::headbang::headbang::headbang: :headbang::headbang::headbang:

[djkorn1]

SXR's don't need reinforcing... do they???

I haven't heard of one crackin yet??? Mine doesn't even have a surface crack and I beat the piss outta it. If anyone knows if and where they crack let me know so I can put a couple layers of WEST there.

[orange flattop freestyler]

Id reinforce it anyway dude, rather reinforce now than repair a lovely freshly painted ski later!

[Ross_C]

I really don't think the SXR needs to be reinforced. Mud could answer this, but I don't think Darin Anderson's boat is reinforced...I think I remember him telling me that it was a completly stock hull. But I could be totally wrong about that. I know that MattSmith beats the crap out of his skis, and none of them seem to be showing hull damage...(except for that one.:firedevil:):27:

[orange flattop freestyler]

Fair enough,

To be honest i dont know how well the SXRs hull holds up.

But i do know that for how much it costs and how little weight it would add to the boat, id rather reinforce it now than try and repair a smashed ski later.

Then payout for another paintjob and graphics.

[Ross_C]

On a SJ, I'm 100% with you. That kaw is just so ****in think....have you ever held the hood on one of those things!

I wonder...

Anyone ever broke a SXR hull?

[WaHoo_1]

tear it up DJ! Look forward to seeing the finished results again sometime in Daytona bro!
:headbang:

[orange flattop freestyler]

lol

its only gonna be a matter or time before one of you boys breaks a sxr hull,

you lot throw some sick air

[LBE]

Give it to me for an hour in the surf!:saevil:

[IceRocket1286]

the sxr hood, weighs as much as a small baby elephant, before going poo

[sflsurfrider]

the sxr hood, weighs as much as a small baby elephant, before going poo

funny stuff

:Banane01:
:Banane13:

[djkorn1]

I am not sure where to reinforce if I was going to. It is soooooo thick allready!!!

I have seen SJ's reinforced and they STILL aren't as thick as mine. Just fat fiberglass everywhere.

[MattSmith]

i'v bashed my sxr's nose in the sand so many times. I've gone through 4 nose peices. i havn't seen the nose crack yet. i think the motor mounts will break before the hull. i would be interested in buying a lighter sxr hood if anyone sells them, but it would have to be set up with vent hoses so it doesn't take in water in the surf.

[ski4]

dj
don't you have some stress cracks under the handpole bracket?
i thought i saw some thre

if anything maybe throw some glass there

[Big Kahuna]

Pro5.0 has given his SXR a beating, it does have some nasty cracks in it........

[botizzle]

I was just about to say that.....

try 3dr. I believe their hood has a hose set up. its all carbon fiber and light. Its what motz and all them use on their sxr's. It might be hard to get tho, i guess the govt bought most of the carbon fiber for the war. idiots.

[schoey]

My SXR has stress cracks in the gelcoat around the handle pole bracket, also down one of the bond lines from landing flat on the side while nose stabbing, that'll only get worse when I start over/under rotating roll attempts.

They're definately not completely surf-proof.

Grant

[IceRocket1286]

mie has stress crazks in the side. O wait, thats where i got ran over. sh!t

[Big Kahuna]

3dr's stuff is race oriented, not FS oriented.......... look into Blowsion or Wamiltons.

[Mile9c1]

If it hasn't cracked yet, it's probably good to go (you've had it two whole seasons, right?). Doesn't make sense to make it even heavier if it doesn't need it...

[IceRocket1286]

i know that, but he wanted a hose set up. im not 2 familiar with blowsions or wamiltons.

[Scorn800]

I have a 3DR hood. The full carbon. It's about 1/3 the weight of stock. It does not have tubes on the inside but is designed not to take on water. There are no front air intake holes. I've ridden in the surf many times and not had a problem with water intake.
As for reinforcing a SXR. I really don't think it needs it.
Good luck on the project DJ

[Antonio Paulinelli]

Ummm...0degree would be freestyle bars if im not mistaken. I could be wrong but most freestylers use 0 or flat bars.

Also check in with XMW for pole and steering product


sure!if i were ya i wouldn't get the 4 degree...

[Takeastand SJ]

I prefer a 4 degree as a lot of other surf riders, it is mostly what fits you right. I don't think strait bars would give you any advantage?

[MADMAT]

This is DJ. I buried that sucker from about 16ft up right into the sand nose first. Fliped over the bars and lost the bumper, but not even a slight crack in the hood.

Ski4: Yeah, I got a couple stress cracks around the pole bracket... I'll beef em up.

[djkorn1]

Here are some updated pics of the Build-Off Kawi...

[djkorn1]

A Few More... I was thirsty!

[djkorn1]

And a few more... It looks pretty, doesn't it?:headbang:

[djkorn1]

The pump shoe is busted up pretty good. It must be from all those Sea-Doo riders I ran over. :sneaky: No cracks in the hull anywhere except in the gel coat from rippin rivets out and a couple tiny ones in the gel coat by the pole bracket. This area is about 3 times as thick as a stock SJ. :hail: I will grind em all and West Systems em up... Almost all the gel coat is gone from the bottom of the hull. It is down to the glass (which is still super thick):fing02:

[MADMAT]

Great pics DJ. I can't wait to see that sucka!!:Eyecrazy:

[michael950]

Yeah, just hope you can get 'er done before lanier.

[T-bone]

parts scatered all over the place and 15 empty beers, oh yea thats going back toghether right:biggrin: right when you think your done..............hey what are these for ?.........................must be aftermarket stuff..........lets go riding:headbang:

[Ross_C]

Love the beer cans in the hull!

That is gonna be great when it is done!

[douglee25]

Man that is some $hitty beer bro!

Doug

[djkorn1]

Its my garage beer. Guiness just doen't go with Jet Ski buildin'
:friday:

[waterfreak]

to build an award winning boat, you need CL's!!!!!!! (Coor's light)

Step up!!

[sflsurfrider]

to build an award winning boat, you need CL's!!!!!!! (Coor's light)

Step up!!

f**king alky

[douglee25]

What you need are some micro brew beers with actual taste. Not those mass produced beers on the market. Puke.

Doug

[unclehulka13]

Labatt Blue is the builders beer of choice.

[Freestyleriverrat]

Samual Jackson malt liquor......gets ya drunk biotch!!! :woot:

[djkorn1]

Guiness and Boddingtons and Great Lakes Beers when I'm chillin...

But buildin' skis requires cheap ghetto beer like PBR and Busch Light. The Buds are my brother's.

[djkorn1]

Man, those rail caps leave some big wierd holes and gaps to fill in... Still glassing and sanding that mess in the back. What a stupid design. :bs2:

[T-bone]

i would just taks a sawzall to those rail caps and recontuor them flatter

[D Slicker]

Man, those rail caps leave some big wierd holes and gaps to fill in... Still glassing and sanding that mess in the back. What a stupid design. :bs2:

I had to sand mine down and run a bead of sealant down the eadges to fill the gaps in. Didnt come out the way I wanted.

[IceRocket1286]

D slicker are those blowsions re-designed caps?

I have a set, not installed yet but painted black. I have a feeling mine might not fit perfect either.

[Mile9c1]

Rivet, rivet.

[djkorn1]

I'm not buyin the Blowsion Caps... I've got something else planned. :27: I can't talk about it though... There might be a spy from WF or New Jersey snoopin round here...:sneaky:

[MADMAT]

Dude I can't even imagine what you guys are up to over there! Its been very quiet and Jeff has'nt been answering his phone:sneaky:

Something strange a brewin':bling:

[D Slicker]

Yes those are the re-designed Blowsions. I had to follow the "We dont cry we modify" rule putting them on.

[beachjunkey]

What's wrong with the stock rail caps - do they get trashed in surf? I've got a buddy with his hull stripped right now. Should we not bother putting the stockers back on or use turf instead? Hope I'm not hijacking...

[djkorn1]

No, it's all good. The stockers will only last so long... It is a matter of time before they start shreading... don't put them back on, unless you ride like a sissy. I would just turf over the area after it is smoothed out...

[Proformance1]

What is the difference between the old and new Blowsion composite rail caps?

[D Slicker]

I was told that the new ones fit better than the old and are closser to the stock fit.

[SXR-FOREVER]

Hey djkorn1, what are you going to do for a paint scheme??

I was trying to think of one for mine but my creativity is 0 lol

[djkorn1]

Not talkin bout that till Lanier... (sorry). I am kinda keepin it on the downlow...
Team Green will be in action however!

[djkorn1]

Here's an idea. Go black and just get a sticker kit to put over it.

[MADMAT]

:bs2: :27:

[SXR-FOREVER]

Not talkin bout that till Lanier... (sorry). I am kinda keepin it on the downlow...

Oh I didnt know it was on the dl, my fault! Good luck with it then! Cant wait to see pics:woot:

[djkorn1]

I almost went black with mine... but changed my mind.
pwcgraphics.com has some cool stuff and can do custom stuff really reasonable.

[sflsurfrider]

I almost went black with mine... but changed my mind.
pwcgraphics.com has some cool stuff and can do custom stuff really reasonable.

dude, seriously.... pwcgraphics.com is yet another clip-art "distributor". of course they can do graphics reasonably. they click on a few firey lines and the plotter cuts them to the desired size and color and it gets labeled as "custom". theres very little, if any, designing skills involved in the "graphics kits" that they offer.

give paul at exotic signs a call. you will be suprised at what he can offer if you give him a budget to work within.... he can also send you some clip-art for cheaper than the other guys.... but why?:Eyecrazy:

[djkorn1]

Updated pics!! without giving anything away...just fixin cracks in the gel coat and filling in parts where the old rail caps were.

Cleaned her up a little and did a TON of sanding.

[MADMAT]

Have'nt comitted to the internal fuel fill? :dunno:

[djkorn1]

Oh yeah.. for sure... Just deciding what to do with the front end of the ski... I gots some ideas.

[djkorn1]

All powder coating is done. :aargh4:

All Sanding and Priming are done.:cool2:
All Polishing is done. :shocked:

Engine is officially built. (Go Jeff!) 186psi / 187psi (F' Yeah!):beerchug:

It's Miller Time!!!

[ski4]

is your ski runnin korn?

[JustGood]

Nice work looks great

[djkorn1]

more pics of engine rebuilding...

[djkorn1]

more pics

[ski4]

mic mak does not look pleased, parts
looks killer though

[djkorn1]

He was a little grumpy that day. He didn't feel like buildin an engine! :banghead:Too many bottles of suds the night b4...It came out bad ass though...

[djkorn1]

Paint is done... I am very very happy:Banane01:

[Freestyleriverrat]

Can't wait to see it man, you build is looking nice

[djkorn1]

Thanks rat. I think we are sharing a camp site. Aren't you goin down with Darin? ps.. your motor looks tough as nails.

[Freestyleriverrat]

Yeah, I think reguardless of completion I am still going down to Lanier. It will at least be complete enough to grasp the idea of the final product. Thanks......Coninued work on the motor and it is blingin :biggthumpup: Pick the hull up tomorrow from paint...........depending on how it looks I'll post some smack talk :haha:

[Proformance1]

Looks great, I really like the paint! How about some more picts?

[djkorn1]

My ski will be featured as a 2nd June Custom of the month...tons of pics should be up by tomorrow!

[MADMAT]

Yea!!!:firedevil:

[oxnard111]

Looking good, that engine looks so how with that powder coating

[djkorn1]

The only powder coating is the black Headpipe, Manifold, Pole bracket and the Ride plate.

The rest is aluminum colored Hi Temp Engine paint.
