Pics of my Latest X-2 Mods!

[BlueBreadTruck]

I just finished yesterday. I lost my fuel door and cracked my hood, so I filled in the area, and smoothed the fuel door, fixed the hood and repainted. I also bought a new hydroturf seatcover.

I got some pics of my trim system, i just used a bmx lever, cable and a thick peice of stainless i found from an old ss/xi couch...i drilled and tapped some holes to the aluminum and it works great.

here are my footstraps....they work great and are VERY strong...I havent got them to pull out yet and ive put tons of force on them. I drilled through the outer rail and on the inside I did the washer welded to the acorn nut trick and glassed them to holes I drilled into the footwells.

very nice!!!

Looks good!

One recomendation I have. Find a cheap Kawasaki 650 SX start/stop switch. Then swap out the internals of your X2 switch to the Kawasaki 650 SX one. You will have ot cut of the ends where they plug in the e-box and resoilder on new ones.

BUT... you won't have that post where the X2 choke cable hooks up to which can stab a hold in your leg. OUCH!

I did this mod but haven't finished it... typical me....

I have an Acusteer machined for fat bars. I will post pics later.

I ride all year....maby take a few months off in the deep winter. The ocean is still warm....no need for a wetsuit on the south side.

i like the trim setup. does it give the full range of motion at the nozzle? do you have a pic of the nozzle in the relaxed position? i may have to do this on our 750 x2

Kyle, have you tried a DCUT plate on your ski? It was a nice improvement on mine.
