? Best Surf Steering Setup ?

[2006superjet]

whats the best bar -size wise i have a 2 degree or 4 degree i forget its almost strait though

what the best steering system

best turnplate

best grips <if odi-best shape or bump style>

and is my stock finger throttle ok or is that another place to spend money.

this is all going on -3.5 stock pole

thanks in advance for helping me spend money.

Either UMI 0* bars w/ stock turnplate or....

Full xmetal steering setup w/ straight bars works too.

ODI lock on grips are by far the best.

2006- Steering set up is all personal preference- Heres mine: 4' UMI bars and a Blowsion short plate. Better yet, since you live in Costa Mesa why don't you come down to Oceanside and ride with us. Try every ones skis and see what you like.

Agree, when I'm riding my Kawi. Otherwise, regardless of pole length, the closer your bars are the the centerline of the pivot, the better it feels.

i run 4degree bars with umi steering and -3.5 pole.

i just bought a blowsion -1 turnplate so we'll see how it works.

its all preference but comin from dirtbikes, i think 0 degree bars suck

 

[2006superjet]

now im looking

to get some stuff so if anyone has any
umi systems with short turnplate let me know also need clamps

just cut down your stock turnplate and bolt on some Xmetal bars...


then shorten your pole.....
