I am running a ProTec cylinder and had to install two studs on the exhaust side and the casting overlaps almost all of the hardware. I got all of the intake side torqued and with a bit of work got the center exhaust side torqued but there is no way I can get a socket on the two outer exhaust...
After changing machine shops due to a backup in work I just got the call that my cylinder is done. I spent my lunch break assembling the bottom end and as much of the rest of it as I could without the cylinder. Going to pick up the cylinder after work and get it finished off this evening.
I cut the corner off the bottom of the tube, it looked and felt just like it always does so I used it. I think the last time I used it was August last year because I didn't get my ski done till after our ride, I feel confident that it will do its job.
I would use extruded polystyrene (rigid insulation)

My chan has no foam as well, very torn about that and am on the fence about cutting it open this winter and adding foam. If you do decide to add foam, do not use two part pour foam, do not use foam in a can and do not use ping pong balls.
I am getting ready to assemble an engine and found a tube of Yamabond 4 in my toolbox that I used on the last one (probably exactly a year ago). On the tube it says "use within one year of opening", if feels soft and pliable inside the tube but the stuff in the end nozzle has solidified. Should...
Nah, just a piece of cooling hose, I can't stand stepping on straps in the tray . I am super pumped to get it on the water, I gathered a ton of cool parts that I normally don't get to put on my skis. It's not on the same level as some of the amazing builds on here but it is by far, the nicest...
Put an SXR pole spring in and finished assembling the handpole, dropped a junker motor in to start mocking up plumbing and checking fitment .My cylinder got pushed out at the machine shop so I won't be able to start on that till next week, if I am lucky. It's close....the camera on my phone has...
I haven't spent much time on any aftermarket hulls other than my old WDK Rev, my Xjet and my Gen1 BOB so my experience is pretty limited but being the BOB is the only thing I can really compare it to (the other two being pretty much a superjet), the difference is night and day. The hull feels...
I do too, I have been on only naked bikes and supermotos for a while. The Z1 is great for a tall guy like me, not all cramped up. Little man has been awesome, he has been sleeping through the night for the past couple months, and just hit 5 months a few days ago. Can't complain.
Having a kid has made me intolerant to my dragging on X-Jet rebuild, my wife recognized this and made my first fathers day amazing and gave me the okay to buy a new (used) hull. Right about this same time a local rider decided to upgrade from his 2014 Fiberglass BC to a Rickter and I was in the...
