Super Jet Cracked pole base. What to do?

[vma1788]

Seems as though the rivets loosened up or popped out and when i went to do a stab, the pole just snapped the base/bracket.

What can i do to get this thing back together? Does anyone, besides Cold-Fusion, sell a base? Can i get it from Yamaha?

Also, while we are here, what is the measurement of a stock pole? This one seems as though it had been modified but doesn't seem noticeably shorter.

i broke mine just like that. i ended up jb welding it all back together and then wraping it with carbon, overlaping the bracket.

good luck.... I went alum pole after doing that. Not worth the time to mess with it if you are going to learn inverts. Just buy a pole that will hold up.

you cry, then put a fixed steer hood on it.

If you want cheap, JB weld it back together. Prep it and wrap the pole and the bracket in one large piece of glass/carbon (like 18" tall) from just above the bushing to as high as you want on the pole (at least 12-inches). Effectively making it one piece. It can be okay looking if you do a good job, and it should last a while too. Not the best fix but gives you time to save for a AM pole.

If you are breaking stockers, it's time to move on to something stronger.

doing the tricks/stabs with a stock pole is insane and ticket for injury..........any aluminum one piece aftermarket pole will save you tons of hassle ....just my 0.2

Did the same thing to my stock pole after a failed backflip attempt..went to a RRP and couldnt be any happier.

Yeah, it was kind of scary since as I held on the ski went WOT since it was pulling the cable.

Found a few AC racing poles in the classifieds but they are all stock length. Opinions on chopping one down?

 

[BruceSki]

Cut one up. Just need someone with a tig welder. I had one cut down and it was a great low cost strong pole. Not the prettiest but you'll get cheap and strong.

So im having no luck finding something used. What are my options? I was told i can get an RRP for 720 new through a connection. Id prefer to not spend that much money but im getting dispirit. Also what else is needed for the RRP to work on my RN?
