Its a shop out here in so cal. Its called Quickstyle Motorsports. My name is Larry Sarinana and my partners name is Stan Howton. I have been competing in freestyle for a while and finally have the resourses to start making my own freestyle products. My partner has about 30 plus years doing custom paint. He has had some work featured on discovery"s biker build off show. He is doing the paint and I am excited to see what he turns out. The shop web site is on the way.

how weight you get off that thing ? wondering if its worth the time

 

[Goingbigger]

Its going on the scale in a few days. Feels really light. In the water its a night and day difference.

I'm very interested to see some details on that top deck...

 

[Goingbigger]

just put it on the scale and it was 100.5 with foam, ex tubing, pump inlet, cooling lines, steering cable mounts/ tube, dual supper valves and trim cable tube. Its almost ready for paint. Weighed another sxr just the bottom deck and it was 96.0lbs

You must of ground the he)) out of that OEM lower?
Did you make your own bulkhead?
What did just the upper weigh? And what did you build everything out of?

 

[Goingbigger]

The upper was made of epoxy and glass. Yeah we made the bulk head and then used plexus to bond the hull. Didnt weigh just the top but it was very light. The hard part was getting all the fu@#ing glue off the bottom deck. That alone weighs a ton.

Videos man!?

 

[SXR-FOREVER]

you going to make an upper deck thats rounded like your green one?

 

[Goingbigger]

No its not getting the round nose. The green dragon was sacrificed to make molds and tempaltes for some new stuff. Been really working on the bk flip so after its all painted and assembled its on. No more testing just riding.

 

[SXR-FOREVER]

sounds good. You better keep us posted on the backie!

 

[Goingbigger]

Finished the nose peice. Flushed out the fuel filler and blended the nose. The plan is to mount it with a aluminum bracket in the rear and rivit or bolt it to the bond line. Then turf the entire bold line of the ski.

 

[MADMAT]

That nose looks very very cool!!

 

[Goingbigger]

The sxr is getting a metalic kawasaki green with graphics. This is a pic of the silver base coat. Decided to paint my wifes square nose at the same time. So lucky for me I get to do everything twice

 

[SXR-FOREVER]

looks good!

Looks awesome, I can't wait to see the finished product.

Here is a pic of the green. There was still some paint in the air so the pics not that clear. Today the clear is getting cut and the logos, and graphics(black/silver) are going on.
