Diamond cut turf

[lee596]

I am going to turf my sx, whats the best stuff to get and do you use the stock backers on the sx sides. Should I get under padding.

You'll want some kind of underpadding. If you can spare the money, the hydro turf padding is the best but blue camping mat from walmart works well too and also doesn't absorb water.

Style and cut is all personal preference. Cut turf has sharper edges and therefore better traction than molded turf but of course molded turf is smoother.

Don't use the stock sx sides, turf the rails bare and cut flush with the bottom using a slight taper up so water has less to grab. Do LOTS of searching on here for installing turf if you've never done it before.

I turfed my 750sx sides without the plastic bases. It came out great (twice). Time for footholds if you haven't already. That was my mistake, and re-did the whole job two years later to install them.

get molded, not cut.

I liked the cut turf over molded but was too cheap to buy it again and therefore have gotten the b-stock. I miss the grip but don't miss the skin rashes on my knees from the cut turf.
