umm? how about riding other peoples skis to find what you like. or cut like said before and spend the money on something else... pipe, TL, etc.
xmetal or the RRP set-up
psh..... cut your stocker
im very pleased with my XFT, but until you know what length i would cut the pole or just get a short steering plate. also im sure others are this way to , but my xft wont accept a stock turn plate so you will probably need other things to make the a/m pole work as well.
what mods do you have already? more then likely the grand would benefit you a lot more somewhere else. just dont go and blow it on paint haha
edit: i did mean to add that i also love the stock RN pole, its very light, strong and if shortened right can last you many years without an issue just ask superjett. i think his is 6 years old and still holding strong.
if it is an SN ditch that badboy as soon as you can lol
Well so far I have a clean 96rn, factory mod pipe, ADA girdled head with 35 or 33 domes, just got an msd off amazon, solas 13/17 impeller, r@d scoop intake grate, riva ride plate, freestyle cone, jetted dual 38s stock reeds and manifold.....pretty much have the bolt ons covered.
So now Im thinking of just chopping 2 off the pole? Which still leaves this money burning a hole in my pocket!
