    Want to Buy AM Kawi 750 pipe (superchicken)

    Looking for a pipe for the 750 swap on my superchicken. Ideally a Coffman 650 pipe but I've read I can manage to make pretty much any Kawi sitdown AM pipe work... AM 750 ss, ssxi, sts, coffman 650 or TS pipe (advice is also welcome as I'm painfully aware of my lack of knowledge on anything...

    Freshwater in SW florida

    Thanks for the replies, I compete in flatwater freestyle, and don't really like the idea of throwing my comp DVX in salt water with an open MSD board, dual scuppers, plus surf would be interesting with a 900 on a flatwater ski I think lol... I'm just trying to get some riding in before I go back...

    Freshwater in SW florida

    I moved down to south west Florida for the next few months, Fort Myers area. I've been looking to find some freshwater to ride in if possible lol, I'm from Michigan and all my college classes are virtual so figured might as well be warm lol. I don't really want to throw my skis in salt if I can...

    DVX hood seal

    Replaced mine last year, Stock SJ almost fit, had to cut like a 1/4 in. off it. I may have stretched it slightly when applying bc Im pretty sure stock ones are suppose to fit. Even with cutting it havent had any complaints with it, on its 2nd year now. I used super glue. Alot of guys around me do

    Laying Fiberglass Dry

    So the way we do it at my Formula SAE shop "best way" is to pre wet the cloth and then lay it down. However, as it was previously stated to much resin will make your lay up weaker. the strength actually come from the fiber tows and orientation, not the resin. Once your laminates are down you...

    Anyone have superjet videos with dual exhaust sound? front and back ?

    I have front/side on my current ski with a modded stock waterbox, its not any louder than an aftermarket waterbox. I really enjoy mine, never had a single complaint about noise with it, if your interested I can text you a couple videos of my ski running.

    Riding Flatwater Freestyle - Avoid Injury

    -Don't let go... lol... but seriously don't -Wear protective footwear if your kicking into footholds... I broke my toe last week wearing wetsuit neoprene shoes instead of wrestling shoes/cleats/whatever - Stretch out before you ride! I always blew this off being 18 but I tore back a couple back...

    Freestyle what are the best freestyle boots

    Wrestling shoes work pretty good especially if you dont want to destroy your turf. If wrestling shoes dont work then indoor soccer cleats are the way to go. But they do a pretty good number on your turf.

    What's your view look like today?

    Like a really fast go kart lol. we just finished all the aero manufacturing so now that its all mounted handling will change slightly but the comp drivers are used to it from previous year's cars.

    aluminum exhaust pipe replacement options

    IMO I don't want to cut my tray open again for as long as possible. If something happens to either the connections or your house. vibrations, rubbing, foam or water on it are all unknowns vs something that's been ran for decades. Your not really saving any significant weight/money. I don't...

    Any mechanical engineers on here? Or engineers in general..

    @Jhucke thanks for the reply, I'm trying hard to get an internship but its hard freshman year, definitely will do them if I can, or when I have more knowledge and companies are more interested. That makes me more comfortable hearing that and it makes makes sense. With a ME degree it seems like...
