Is there somewhat a consensus that a 2-stroke SJ with pipe/footholds/(add a)hood strap is a very adequate surf ski?. FB marketplace has offerings across the diff brands but also many "surf setup" SJ. With 701, jetmaniac 718, 760. Assuming good compression and runs well, would be affordable...

I couldnt find that thread. There's a few threads poop-talking Krash which doesn't help. Because I was looking at them. Lee Stone LS1 popped up as well but that specific ski seemed to be more lake oriented with a 2gallon tank.

Looking to purchase a custom ski for riding in the Tampa area. My belief is I would be primarily playing around the channel downtown as well as Apollo Beach. I do not want a flatwater specific ski. Prefer a bigger tank for longer riding and reliability. I would prefer new but willing to look...

Thank you. I see Avid levers are very affordable too. Old cable has it still attached (see photo of old cable) BUT I do not think that I can remove it and install it on photo 3099 above. My assumption is everything has been "crimped on". Hence the advise by Roseand "buy the red part straight...

2013 ROK-R. See attached Photos which are brand new x-scream trim cable with finger throttle and old attachment. . Previous trim cable (that has seized) had a "janky attachment" to the finger throttle. So I believe I need to buy THIS replacement throttle which is same company as the trim cable...

Sick Jeep. I used to have the same look with an EZ Ski Hitch Hauler back in like 2016. Here's mine. If I remember correctly, I moved from Hawaii to Texas and met with EZ Ski in some no-name town between Havasu and I10 to pick up my order lol.

Buy things through your personal credit card. Their protections are more robust than paypal etc.

Politics are against stand ups and the 2stroke. politics(specifically most people) dont know what stand ups are. And I don't think 2strokes are on the radar, theyre deff not top 100 issues, but in a general sense I'd agree. The gov has been killing the standup for a long time. we have bigger...

Didn't build this because I'm not a dumbass. Pretty large established Austin Builder. Full gun safe door into a gun room. Asked the CM/Super if the walls are, I dunno, plated? reinforced? Whatever. Nope. You could kick hard into this gun storage room via any wall.

Random comment but "Imotormike", a texas rider, when he rides on the lake he streams tik tok and is pulling in 2000 viewers at the same time. Does back flips and such. Social media has changed so much. A lot of the late 2022 comments are about how Facebook sucks. Most people bailed on fbook...

Assuming your hauler is 2" square tubing, the thickness (4.16 MM to .164 IN) potentially is actually 3/16" steel (.188IN). Caliper may need adjusted. But I am going to shoot for 3/16 then. The cart would sit "dead center" on the hitch hauler centerline, and is 20" off the ground which does...

That's easy, attach bearings and run 3/4" axle through them. IF needed, drill hole, and purchase rims (specifically not requiring a hub, most seem to be 3 or 4 lug). In this example video showing the removal of the cotter pin, is it literally nothing more than what appears to be a large brass...

Thank you - any chance you could clarify a bit for me? lawn mower tires/wheel is easy to understand but every gokart axle seems overbuilt and way too wide. Here's an example of an axle that's 27" wide and 3/4, and I believe would connect to the lawn mower tires/wheel using cotter pins...

SO I used to own a first gen hitch hauler from EZ SKI and unfortunately left it at an old apartment garage while moving. And Lake Travis in Austin is so low that launching is risky due to no concrete ramps reaching the water. I am trying to design a hitch hauler that has the beach cart...

Thank you! Good deal as I go to Alaska 3 days later. I believe Joe (Austin Jetskiier) sold his company so didn’t know what to expect
