billet parts

[waxhead]

we were discussing steering sytems yesterday and may have a look at it
my concern lee is how many i could sell
other wise its just not worth it and i end up losing money on the whole thing
i know i can sell superjet steering systems

 

[godocgo]

if you make them inexpensive enough, i think you can sell a couple of 100 over time. gordy probably has sold over 100 on ebay. you make a good one with sealed bearings that don't need replacing every season. i will buy 3.

it would be nice to have some other people to buy from. i don't like supporting companies that no longer want to support our sport.

how about pissers and throttles. i need 6 new pissers and you know who wants 12.00 a piece for 1.50 part. not to mention the 70.00 throttles that wear out and fade fast.

i was talking with a welder about making me a aluminum gas tank, can you do that.

also how about battery boxes. i am trying to get all the wieght down in the bottom of my hull.


but i would really really like to have a knock of the rad flyhweel covers to change timing without pulling the flywheel everytime.

 

[butti]

oooh ya the rad style flywheel cover is a good suggestion lee:notworthy:

 

[crammit442]

here is the first thing of the mill
this will start this week
please dont ask pricing just yet as we are still working it out but your usa dollar makes stuff cheap for you

Why make the head a three piece design? Why not make it just the head and domes similar to ADA? Three pieces just give you more orings and more places to leak. One of the reasons the ADA is MUCH more desirable than the Riva head.

I might be interested in being an american distributor for you if you wanted to do that. I could stock a bunch of the popular items and it might work out better for everyone wanting to buy for shipping purposes. Pm me maybe we could talk details.

The umi turnplate has the handlebar clamps set at an angle. However I have seen a shortened turnplate but it had straight bars on it, the clamps that hold the bars were set at 90 degrees

By having a shortened plate plus straight bars and the clamps straight, it pushes the handlebars even further forward.

Hope this helps, You can see the bars pushed forward in th second pic.

Personally i have found the riva head to be an awesome head and thats why i am following its design
On a high hp 61x cylinder the sleeves and the alloy the sleeves run in can tend to move due to here open deck design
thats why lamey made his cylinders semi closed deck
the riva offers more support than the ada head
I have never had a riva head give me an issue at all as fas as leaking

Ok i understand about the superjet steering now i have never seen a ski with straight bars on it
i think they make them like that so they cant twist

Hoggman i will be in touch

Better than a rad cover what about an ignition you can adjust off your pc every 50 rpm with water injection and a total loss flywheel ???

 

[godocgo]

i would be willing to test your ignition system, i have been working with tim judge every weekend for 6 weeks building my mod and ss. we run the msd setups because they have allowed the most versatitlity. we might be willing to change if it proves to be similar. especially with the price of msd these days.

you can pm tim on pwctoday he is tjrace

if he likes them he can sell them for you. i know he is building 3 other mod blasters plus a couple of mod sj's.

pm me if you want, i will send you his # or his email address. he spends about 5 hrs a day on the phone. he needs more time to finish building ski's.

 

[waxhead]

the digital ignition i am selling has much more versatility than the msd
The total loss one is still in developemnnt as it uses a different type of pickup
the ignition is all done i am working on flywheel

 

[justincr250]

Id be interested in a turn plate for my SX-R. Id like my UMI bars moved forward 2-3". Stock pole.

 

[maddogster]

first of all to mill out crank cases would be a nightmare, not to mention the amount of hours for design. and secondly the handlepole bracket with the notch would work but it would have to be beefy. either that or a bolt on either side of the notch would make up for the lost material. waxhead, what files types and programs do you use for your cnc's. .cnc, .dnc, .prt solidworks, solidcam, autocad, inventor, mechanical?

 

[waxhead]

solid edge is what i am using and dxf as well as stl files
Crank cases is going to be to much i think at this stage and not really enough of a demand to make it worth while

I understand what you are saying about pole brackets
but i am not so sure of the advantage of having the hooks on there
Some one give me a good reason and explain it to me please

First thing of the mill will be heads and and shafts
i already have ignitions and i will be working on a total loss system that you can rely on

we are looking at casting some stuff up as well

 

[Freestyleriverrat]

A billit electronic box would be awsome, it would really make a statement on ski's in a spot that is usually all black. That would be allot of billit though.

 

[IceRocket1286]

Battery boxes for all types of skis would be cool.


id like a turnplate for my sxr! But im getting and xmw pole hopefully so I'll wait and see how that works out.

What about pump cones/reduction nozzles/steering nozzles of different sizes.

Those freestyle guys love to bore their pumps, so why not make some that are already bigger? Id like one for my squarenose...

 

[waxhead]

yeah thats a casting reduction nozzles but we have been thinking about pumps
dont think i will be amking an elcetric box its a lot of bling but i dont htink i would sell meany to make it worth while

 

[Freestyleriverrat]

an elcetric box its a lot of bling but i dont htink i would sell meany to make it worth while

Ture......it would be cool though. Now that I think of it a billit midshaft housing kit would be nice, with new bearings pressed in and the billit midshaft you are selling installed.....alll ready to bolt in. That should sell pretty well and that housing is not that difficult. I know I would be in the market....I need all that to put in my x-jet.....my 1990 style has a different bolt pattern than the 96+ and thicher midshaft that won't allow me to run my riva couplers. Let me know if you plan to make that stuff.

 

[waxhead]

I will do
we have lots of stuff planned and couplers is one of them
and you know we have the midshafts already
It would look cool to have an alloy lecy box but tont think we will me making one soon
Hey about a picture eteched int your head or screen printed on it
like you screen print on an american flag or something ???

I will look into the solid midbearing housing
i know that triton did them a while ago
my only concern is that you would have to be so carefull with you alignment on the engine otherwise it would wear shafts( thats good for me)
And not sure how much vibration it would transfer

 

[Mile9c1]

my 1990 style has a different bolt pattern than the 96+ and thicher midshaft that won't allow me to run my riva couplers.

I'm not sure which couplers you have, but all years of Superjet use the same couplers (and I've used billet couplers on several of them w/o problems).

I think a solid billet housing would be a very bad idea, your breaings wouldn't last very long at all. The rubber in the OEM housing not only allows for more misalignment, but it also allows for radial shaft movement when the engine moves. W/o rubber in there, all that load would be trasferred to your crank bearings and the housing bearings, and they'd wear quickly.

 

[waxhead]

Mile thats what i was thinking

On the other hand thanks for the great ideas coming out

Tell me whats every ones favourite style of intake grate
double deep style, shallow grate , early ocean pro( ok just kidding)

 

[Freestyleriverrat]

I'm not sure which couplers you have, but all years of Superjet use the same couplers (and I've used billet couplers on several of them w/o problems).

The early 1990 models have a 22mm subshaft that was quickly changed within that production year. I forget the reasoning behind it, I talked to the guys at protec and they know all the specifics on the early subshafts, but it is a different diameter and won't fit. I need to get later model bearing housing for the for the x-jet anyway so I'll get that and the midshaft new.
