Ok I'm about at my wits end with grinding this Xmetal adjuster plate to allow my ATP steering mount to fit through the hole. I've tried grinding stones, and a carbide bit, both of which clog very quickly..do y'all have any tips for grinding aluminum?

Has anyone seen the article in Pro Rider regarding the Free Form Factory FFF ski that is supposedly "indestructible"? Looks very similar to a chan/phantom. It seems many have made bold claims like this when first introducing skis, few have seemed to be true. Anyone know anything about the...

Recently traded handle poles with Paul, the transaction went smoothly and communication was always quick. I would not hesitate to purchase from him again. Thanks Paul!

So I started messing around with my Chan and trying to get the pump aligned, but it's not going as planned. It seems every time I get the driveshaft coming through the hole in the center from left to right (before I even mess with the up and down height) the pump mounting holes are off. I have...

Hey Guys, I know the consensus on the Chan pole length seems to be the X-Metal comp pole, which is what I currently have on my Chan, but it seems VERY short. I know once the ski is in the water it is going to sit down in the water and bring the pole back towards me some, but for a ski to be used...

I apologize for butting in here, but with this new tapatalk design I have no way of finding the forum list. Can someone direct me on where I can find the forum list. All I can seem to find is an activity feed and this discussion here? If I knew how to create a new thread I would, but I have no...

I purchased @pope91rs Backie-Chan and the purchase couldn't have been easier. He was somewhat local which made it even easier, but the main thing that was important for me was he answered all of my 1,000 questions i sent him the week leading up to me coming and getting it. The hull was exactly...

Well, I wasn't sure where to put this, and i didn't think putting it in the battle threads would be very helpful, so figured i would post this question here. I am planning on picking up my first AM hull this weekend, its local, a fair price, and its a Chan. One of my top few choices. I am a bit...

When I watch clips of pro level riding, most of what they consider a "barrel roll" is more of what I would consider a "360" spin style move. It's not quite a flat spin 360 because there is a bit of inversion to it, but not quite a true barrel roll where the ski passes totally over the rider. Is...

Phone was located on the ground. False alarm! Lol

Was finishing up running the cooling lines on a stock engine SJ i bought a while back, and realized i did not remember to cooling line routing, and this manifold has 3 barbs on it. Can someone double check the routing i have? 1. Bulk head to bottom line on manifold 2. From the top fitting on...

Ok, so I'm not totally sure whats going on, and its simply word of mouth from my friend. But, he says he says he recently replaced the bendix on a friends ski, and the ski will sometimes start up and go backwards? Almost like the engine is spinning the wrong direction Anyone ever heard of this...

Was in need of a RN pole to replace the one I robbed off a RN to put on my SN. Posted a WTB and within a day Nemo messaged me offering up a pole he had. He was 100% honest and sent me a ton of pictures. He shipped the day after payment, and the pole arrived today when it was shipped Thursday...

Recently purchased an ATP steering setup from Steve and the transaction was awesome. Steve answered all of my many question promptly, and even shipped the following day after payment. Steering setup looks awesome! He even included a T-shirt with the deal unbeknownst to me!! Thanks Steve!

Bought a steering cable from Steve AKA "Aquaholic". Transaction couldn't have been easier, and he was totally straight forward and honest. Even went to the length of leaving the post office during shipping because he realized a small part was missing from the cable, and he wanted to make sure I...

Just curious as to what people are having good luck with on bearing style steering systems. I checked out the review section and did some google searching, but most of the topics I found were a bit older and new systems are out. I know it seems some of the popular ones are the RRP, ATP, and...

Can someone direct me in any simple way on the order all the components of the steering cable are installed in the thru hull passage. The ski I have only turns left because i think the clip that holds the cable in place is in the wrong spot. Can y'all tell from the pictures below what is out of...

Seems this could be common, but couldn't find anything on this. But, what could I do to repair the nipples on the fuel tank for the breather line? One of mine is missing, and wasn't sure what I could do to fix it. I know I've seen some that used a brass barbed NPT fitting, but wasn't sure how to...

What is the difference in the 08+ handle poles on the superjets. My square pole is cracked and probably won't last much longer, someone mentioned the 08+ won't work without the cable. Is this true? Also, avidly looking for a RN pole/ conversion bracket, or even a square pole someone would part...

Well, I noticed today my handle pole on my SN is cracked at the bottom right where the bolt goes though as seen in the picture below. I know it was from a barrel flop attempt gone wrong and it still is fairly sturdy, but I was thinking of trying to temporarily reinforce or prolong the life of...
