Exactly. My diff stays out of the water. Period.

How much did you take off the back? I think you might be surprised at how much more stable it's going to feel, and yet how much more quickly and easily it turns.

Haha! I had forgotten that. And we all signed up in the lobby on the computer by the door. Can't believe that was 5 years ago. Happy birthday X!

OK, cool: sounds like you did a really thorough job on the alignment.

But the midshaft may also need shimming against the bulkhead. When you slide it back onto the already mounted and aligned driveshaft, and slide it back till it contacts the bulkhead, you need to check whether it has made contact all round or whether you have gaps. Mine certainly came from the...

But is the midshaft aligned? And the pump? You have to start from the back and work forward when aligning - all three driveline components can be shimmed.

The only tricky part is getting on and off the beach. The soft dry sand piles up where the wind blows therough the access roads, meaning you have to venture down towards wetter sand to get on and off the beach. That's fine when the tide is out but it can get very interesting when it is on it's...

Awesome Jerry! Congrats on the well deserved exposure.

I've said it before: after 3 in competition you should start losing points. That goes for anything.

Don't cut the visor - I've never had a problem with mine. You won't regret buying that helmet: the first time you eat the pole and you feel nothing but a slight bump in the face you will happily pay $200 for the next one!

For sure! I may see you in Daytona - haven't decided if I'll be going yet. I'll be back home at the end of January. (Sorry for the thread-jack!)

At the gravel pits? I used to live near Lane end: about 5 miles from Marlow. I know the gravel pits well: we used to waterski there. Went to school at Borlase.

Where do you guys ride? I need to look you up next time I'm home. Although, that will be at the end of January, so you may not be riding!

I really don't know the speedwerx pipe very well, so I can't really help you there. sorry.

I don't understand.... When do you stop to drink beer if you don't have to let your electric tools cool down and recharge...? :Banane35:

Pop-off gauge would be on my list: it just seems to be one of those things I never quite buy, but always regret not having when I need one. My favorite tool for hull mods: 4" angle grinder. I also love my wobbly-end for my 3/8" drive which allows the sockets to swivel at an angle to the long...

And people don't think we're descended from apes: these spines of ours were not designed for being upright the whole time!

The problem with chiros is that they will do an X-Ray, but you need an MRI to spot a herniated disc. I went to a chiro and he just made my pain worse and worse. I finally realised that he didn't know what he hell he was doing and then went to see a real doctor. I had a mind to sue that a-hole...

That is exactly the problem in a couple of ways: one is that it should work right out of the box, ESPECIALLY in this example of very common parts matching. But then the other side of the problem is that they'll never improve if they don't feel the consequences, which in this case would have been...

I personally don't like the spring approach. The main goal of tight bolts is not to make the pole lite so much as to keep it in the same spot for no-handed tricks. A spring will do a nice job to keep the pole lite when riding but will allow the pole to flop all over the place when you aren't...
