Super Jet A/M pole brackets for stock poles

[jloria]

Just need some opinions on the lowest bracket out there for single poles. CG wise not lowest price, although both would be nice:smile:

I am looking to reinforce a stock pole. I prefer the look of the stock pole and it's function. I also want a pole that's light and has some foam in it.

Those are the main reasons for going with a stock pole. I am looking at the different A/M companies for single breather brackets, but it's hard to tell which is the lowest so I wanted to get some opinions.

Please comment on strength,durability, cost, fit etc...anything you can think of.

I am leaning towards the x-scream or blowsion for now.

Again...thanks so much for your input.

It's for a 96 RN SJ with a WCF top deck.

I like my R&D bracket. Not sure how low it is, but I cant imagine it could be any lower. The bolt just clears the top deck when sliding in.

It also has a provision for the OEM pole "holder upper".

Wdk and rrp are both good brackets i had a blowsion i liked it but theirs a trick to getting it on, pm me if you go with it

i have a wcf topdeck conversion also and i am going to be running a stock rn pole. I am using a waterdawg kustomz billet pole bracket they claim to be the lowest out there. i havent ridden with it yet but it is a very nice piece and fits very well. my ski is upside down right now because im doing some work to my pump cavity but i can snap a few pics after this weekend i hope. if it helps im also using it with the wdk "diablo" lowered hood and nose piece

I have a older xmetal bracket on a 08+ pole. The tabs bend outward a bit but it works and fits great on a fx1.

Dont forget to also consider cold fusion:

Thanks guys...

That waterdawg bracket is my favorite so far...I really like the pole stops as well.

You bring up a good point as well, I need to be able to get the bolt in

I will measure my ski tonight to see how tall the sides are from the flat nose area.

 

[crazy4sand]

And yes cold fusion is top notch

i found a couple pics that i had from when i was mocking everything up. nose piece does sit flat not sure why its crocked in the second pic

x2! It is lower and also a tad bit more forward. Nice bracket!

Yes, if your running a stock pole, then the R&D Bracket WAS the best choice out there because it was so versatile. I say WAS because unfortunately it is no longer available. R&D said they stopped production because the watercraft market is so small. I was lucky to get the Black one pictured, they had to piece it together from some demo parts. The R&D's advantage was that it is the only aftermarket bracket that could still use the OEM pole lock and, the best part, is that it can be disassembled into three pieces so adding a pole spring was a breezy one man job- install the bracket sides, pivot bolt with the spring on it to the pole and then simply bolt up the base base to the sides from the bottom-done, it was that easy. It'd sure be nice if someone would step up and make another bracket which can be disassembled and use the OEM pole lock, hint, hint Cold Fusion.......

Great idea for the spring.. I wrestled mine in by myself.

I forgot the pole position is a little forward too.

 

[jloria]

that R&D is nice as well...the pole lock option would be great since I have an internal filler...

the pole dropping into the engine bay would be no more then

 

[jloria]

R&D is in 1st place now

if they don't make then anymore, maybe I can find a good used one out there. I'll make my decision tonight.

a one man spring job is unheard of in these parts! ...ha ha

Great replies as I always say...

[jloria]

I called them...they said the online catalog was wrong and that they don't make them anymore. The guy actually said that they haven't made them for a while now

 

[jloria]

Looks like it's going to be hard to find the R&D bracket. It sure would be nice to gave the option to hold up the pole. Especially with an internal fuel filler.

I won't need the bracket for another month or so, maybe I can find an R&D one by then.

I was going to mention the CF as well. Looks like JetManiac beat me to it!

Cold Fusion and Jet Maniac are some of the best guys in the industry to deal with.

im running a stainless 615 bracket. its so low and forward that you have to attach it to the pole before you mount the bracket to the hull. can be a pain but how often do you really need to disassemble it? i remember it being half the cost of most others out there as well.
