Hardcore, what kind of pole bracket is that? Did it come with your AC pole?

That whole setup is made by Goose to ur specs.

Great guy to deal, some were having issues but i had nothing but good things to say about him and the pole setup. Everything weighs less then 8lbs.

Wow that is one nice pole setup. Have you had the chance to try it out?

I will in about 2 weeks. Highroller and alot of other hardcore freestyle guys use them and say they are the strongest and lightest on the market,

And cheapest. 400 for everything built to ur specs. Mines neg 3 inches

What pump did you end up runing? Did you send Bonzi one or did you figure something else out?

650sx kawi 140mm pump.
Very easy to install and cheap. I got everything done for less then 300.
That included the glasswork, pump, skat prop, 900zxi driveshaft,and specialFx bearing housing.

This thing should rip. I will post pics up of my pump now. There are tons of threads on the comparison and price of both the bonzi and 650sx pump.

I'm my situation it was the cheaper route. And i was told they both do the same and the extra 4mm doesn't make a difference.

I did, but not my ski. Took a friends modded 02 sj and a bottle of RUM. Not at the same time.:spank:

Its final. Paints not done but im riding tomorrow...

Oh and in pic 4 it shows where we f*cked up the turf, but soon the turf will be around the rails to.

Finally! It looks nice, I like the shaved gas fill. Now I want a goose pole on mine.

Ya i like the goose pole. It's about to be powdercoated.

I think the gas cap filled, the other lines taken out, and the hood changed really make the fx hull flow better.

If the first ride out is anything like this build was. IT'S GOING TO SUCK....

I hope no issues with the pump.

 

[yamanube]

What color are you doing the bottom of the hull and pole? Black bottom, white P/C pole?

Well the bottom will most likely be the same blue. But we have 3 more colors we are adding in with some design after our short season. We have some kawi green and bright orange we may use. Who know about the pole, i was thinkn black but not sure.

Open to ideas.....What do u think? Oh and my friend can now gelcoat, so i may go that route. Also had thought about a black rubber like bottom cuz rocks.

Yeah I can't stay off mine long enough to finish them HA! Guess now would be a good time to do them since I'm riding impaired.

I can't wait to see pictures of you riding this thing next weekend.

Well no pics, but im did get to take her to the lake. I got to the lake around 1:30 yest with some friends. Drop in and started heading away when i noticed i was taking on some water. Brought her back and trailered her to see my probs.
Found the hole that was taking in lots of water, then i noticed i had lost most of my gas into the hull.

I found the prob, crack in gas tank and hole not plugged. Called a friend to bring me 5minute apoxy and some expandable foam. Fixed the probs and rode.

The ski rode pretty go, steering was alittle screwy and carb wasn't tuned right. But
being pretty much stock with just a port job and pump, its had 10 times more throw then the stock fx-1 pump.

OH, BY THE WAY, DON'T CUT UR HULL LIKE MINE. IT SUCKS ASS. It's a complete pain in my ass to get up without having leverage for my elbow and since i cut it for a trim setup its worse.
