It's fine as long as he knows what he's doing and used epoxy resin not cheap resin from Home Depot or an auto parts store. As far as a 650 is concerned, I'd skip it. They don't ride well. I can't say I've ever heard anyone say they actually like them. If your budget is low, you can find a...

Glue sniffing and grip bitching aside....My next set will be some of THESE. I have some ergos on my mt bike and at the time, couldn't find ergo lock ons, so never tried them on the ski.

My feet won't fit in wrestling shoes...or at least I haven't found anyone that makes a 2E width. I wear an Airwalk version of Converse All-Stars, time for a new pair, but they held up for a couple seasons for $20 on sale.

Yep, A/M complete junk. I got lucky, that outer "bell" part at the base came loose and the bendix wouldn't engage sometimes. I caught it before it grenaded completely.

Good idea...I never would have thought to do that.

Short story long: I needed some pump and mid-housing rebuild kits, called AJS and asked about the supplier of the bearings. They told me that they were WSM kits, right there I suspected Chinese bearings, but the lady at AJS didn't know for sure and she said to call WSM, so I did. I gave them the...

I might just let someone else be the guinea pig on this one

Me too. Fast shipping and very reliable. I order from there personally and for work. Zero problems. If I were out of the country, I'd contact a UPS store and see if they can recieve my shipments and then resend them to me. It will obviously cost more, but is an option.

Actually 5200 crossed my mind. I wasn't sure it was a viable option. It is some crazy strong stuff.

Well that's the news I was hoping for. Thanks all!

Looking for an economical glue for bonding the top deck to the bottom deck. The most economical for me, would be thickened epoxy. I have West 403 Microfibers and Cabosil that would fit the bill, but is this a bad idea? I can't say I've seen anyone use this to bond their decks. I also have on...

The SXR TBM exhaust flange will fit 2" aluminum pipe with a little bit of space for some 5200. If you still wanted it to fit diagonal, you'd have to have it bent, or cut and welded, however, I would have it cut and welded so it has a couple 45 or 90* corners near the bulkhead instead so it gives...

Sheet...I know. 1 layer of glass laid for the front foot hold....still working on the adjustable foot holds. Crazy how fast time has flown by. Still lots of detail stuff to work out.

I'm betting this is an auto-correct...should be Deka Some weight can be saved by going with an etx15, etx12, and even an etx9, but they don't have as high CCA ratings and you may need to modify your cables and straps for anything other than stock, which is the etx20l. These are AGM...

Yep, my BJ 44 has 12 holes. I thought I'd seen some GRS carbs with the press in throat like BJs have. I'll have to dig through some pics...I might be thinking of something else.

Ya, even the GRS had the pressed top like the BJ, maybe it's an old GRS? Is the annular discharge way down in the carb right above the throttle plate? Here's a pic of a GRS (Green Racing Specialties...or Specialist...or whatever) carb that I found on the web.

Green Racing also made some annular discharge, but I thought those had the same kind of top as a BJ.

Make sure you don't have an exhaust leak....engine's don't like to run on exhaust.

Very true. I told my wife to not let me get this far into a ski again....but I know I will and so does she. Still waiting to see that freak on the water.....lol. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, I'm just not sure if it's a locomotive or daylight. So for the updates...my...

I will update this tonight with a few pics. I've been working on this every night and weekend, but the progress is still slower than I had hoped.
