I still don't get the point of fixed steer...why not just buy an X2?

i have an x2... figured i would do something different, the hulls diff and i got the hulls basically for free

We're all modifying our X2 to handle more like Superjets or SXRs. Modifying the SX to be more like a X2 is the same concept. To tell you the truth, I thought about making a fixed steer SJ with a seat over making my current X2 build. Would have been a lot easier.

Yaa I was thinking about putting a dirt bike seat on this before I chopped it... Maybe still will who knows haha thinking it might be cool to make like a detatchable seat

If u put a seat u r going 2 have to cut off the sides of the tray. U know from ur x2 those side are nice. Seats are nice but if ur a rider that doesn't use a seat then skip it. I use my seat a lot and have a set of pontoons for my gf but I know most people just as well not have a seat. I know I get a lot of funny looks for using my tall seat. Keep t simple and skip the seat option unless its very important 2 u.

to many issues with an x2. just bolt the hood on a superjet and a ride it. unlike an x2 where you work on it more then ride it.

Except a 650sx is a X2. They are mechanically the same. The difference is the handling of the bottom deck, the more forward placement of the motor and the fixed steer. A Fixed steer SX is a X2 with a better weight displacement.
