Actually closed this out some time ago (short of some pink vinyl on back order) but never got around to uploading. Close out:

Had some time to move this along today: The current paint had some wicked blisters in it so I worked on getting those areas flat. I then layed some fiberglass in a couple damages areas, cleaned the engine while waiting for it to cure. A local fabricator got the poles welded up today so I was...

That, by far, has been the crowd favourite

Had a few more hours to look at this tonight, fairly pleased with how the pole is turning out. A keen eye will notice a splash of the colour to be.

That's so rad... Breaking purists hearts no doubt!

For almost every pragmatic reason you're probably right. Ive seen others elude to using SJ poles, I've taken (albeit not very thorough) look around and have only found a stock pair of sxr pole. That being said I enjoy building my own stuff, if it fails, I accept that as a learning experience...

Finally got a moment to look at this again, previous weekend was a wash. Photos tell all: Took a moment to get the design sorted but i think I'm in track now, slight deviation from my sketchy sketch. Utilises the stock bushings and pole limit contraption. Why not. I hope to advance this...

Last month I tossed around a few livery ideas for pole on my IG, clear winner was 1B. Originally I was bent on doing a vintage inspired livery (such as 3) but decided to do a retro + contemporary homage instead. The plan as it stands is do option 1B and use white turf for the tray and...

Hey everyone, I figured this would be a good place to post updates on my little project. I'm currently refreshing my 93 JS 750 that, for this thread, I'll [endearingly] call "Betty"...you know, good old reliable, timeless. Edit: Compiling this has got me a nostalgic scrolling through old...

Just realized there's a "my ski and build" section... Migrating over there.. check "Betty Build"

Dreaming of Beaching'

I was curious about how he would be for us up here, good to know!... I'll compile a list and drop @JetManiac a note.

Thanks for the info Mike, I'll check you guys out on FB.... unfortunately I agree that im running out of time, just got around to it last week or so. Should be quick though, basically correct the neglect... It's a strong ski just looks pretty rough, paint, turf... Few new fuel lines and...

That's what I figured. Like you said keeping it on the cheap is going to push the kawi set up but I it did cross my mind.
