Mods to her SXr completed

[Don 79 TA]

Just wanted to show some photos since some have asked to see them
the additons this summer were:
front nose piece from Blowsion with her name painted on
mid mount hand holds (i even installed them)
blowsion hood block off plate
Dales Handpole, it's awesome, super easy to install
blowsion engine keepers
blowsion hood hooks
and the last thing to install is the oddesy battery

a few more photos
she seems to really like the -2 handpole, it helps more with cornering, plus she can reach both handholds now

Looks nice man ,does your chick do backys or what .Just wondering because of the keepers.Pretty cool if she does

Looks real good but what's up with the thumb throttle?

 

[Don 79 TA]

we love the thumb throttles
we actually can not ride with the finger types.... talk about teaching old dogs new tricks. you can tell we've been into PWC's for years lol

i did the engine keepers as precaution. in my opinion it's worth it especially if you are out jumping around and what not.

she can't do back flips or rolls just yet, but she likes to ride it backwards, on the hood, jump, turn, and do subs << usually needs a wave to help that>>

at least she's a jetskiing chic
this sport needs more of them

the installs were easy to, hell.... i did em anyone can. my advice is to clean a work area, and keep the tools handy. i was scattered all over the place

what i do like about the stock hood is the place to keep the fire extinguisher.
although i've been in talks with Blowsion on making a new hood, guess you can call it a free ride type of hood. something we will pick up on working on over the off season if she doesn't like how this one works now.

i will say that carbon fiber front piece is really nice too, totaly impressed.
the hood block off also helped reduce the water coming too
and Dales pole is a nice piece of work too

its easier to hang on with a finger throttle IMO

 

[Don 79 TA]

we've always felt that it hurt the hands more and was alot harder to control

the gang we ride with all use thumb throttles... lol that will tell you how long we've been skiing

on the SJ...A 247 innovations hood or not, im guessing it is
NICEEEEEEE

 

[Don 79 TA]

yeah that's Chris's SR71 hood kit
he also modded the hood so i have one air tube
works awesome
that is without a doubt the best hood in my opinion
superb quality

[Don 79 TA]

the 03 SXr is her ski
the 02 SJ is my ski

 

[Don 79 TA]

Well
figured i'd give some more feedback since we've been out this weekend with the skis....
she loves the handpole, and the handholds, they are still a little to far forward, so i may try another set and mount em further back or just wait to make another hood.

two great days out in the water
she was even 'skiing butt naked too
she loves doing that

we also took both cars out saturday night and had a few good runs against each other. it was great racing on the skis and then out at night

my ski ran great, so i think we'll be a little sore since it was out first two days out in a row. we are still trying to make the Rave in Michigan depending her work schedule

i ordered a new radiator for the jeep and some cooling fans too, that should help us get some MPG's

 

[Brenden]

yes chris is an awesome man...too bad the price on the sr71 kit i was planning on getting it someday now im just turned off...almost 2 grand
but who knows maybe i can work out a deal lol

 

[Don 79 TA]

it is worth it in my opinion
his quality is just awesome, and a hell of a nice person to deal with
