Is the weight savings (and cost) worth the headache versus a known commodity like the Deka's? I toyed real hard with swapping out to wps this spring and decided I could buy two Deka's for the price of one of these and I have had Deka's last 3+ years with a TL and trickle charger in past. I...
From what I understand the new flash fixes the difficulty starting and the bendix carnage. Requires changing the preset advance from 50* to 40*. I have seen the new ultra-light FW separate from the ring gear, but that happened on my MSD TL too.
My gen 1 flame has been bullet proof.
Making the inside look clean and spartan isn't that much work. Maybe extra 30" of time to lay some clean carbon sheets or some dyed glass biax/weave. Did it on everyone of my SJ's.
Swap, U can swing this mod in the off season. It's not a huge project. U could either cut the chines and glass over them or scuff up the valleys and fill the strakes with whatever void filler u like and lay some glass/carbon over that then sand it smooth (and repaint), thereby reducing the...

@whitca that is a gen 1 freak. The SJ based ones were "pre-freaks". I had a gen 1.5 with the badass bottom deck and the gen 1 top deck. The badass is technically the gen 2.
I have no idea what that op pic is...the hood is throwing me off cuz that doesn't look like the hood that came on...
That carbon sure is slick looking. Sano as hell. From the first hull to this one all ur work looks "spot-on."
Looking forward to hearing independent ride reports post havasu.
^^agree. I hate wrenching. I hate even worse making a change finding out it runs like crap after the change and have to go back where I started.
On the flip side, knowledge is king...unless u have the cash to pay someone else to do it for u.
