Very nice job on the tray work!
How does your filled bondline nose mod work out when surfing waves? Seems that having the stock form overhanging lip helps keep it from pearling when coming down a wave.

I got your PM.
The waterproof billet switches are available from Wakula Racing made by Shur-Stop and they come in black & silver. http://www.wakularacing.com/CRF450.ASP
They're also made by Fly Racing and come in a few more anodized colors. http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/2/9/192/12728/ITEM/Fly-Racing-Billet-Kill-Switch.aspx
The wider tray footholds and front foothold glovebox were custom made by me.

The longer nose section is one of the best mods by far and it keeps the nose higher and works great for creating setup wakes combined with the trim system.
I got the idea from the new SuperJet which has a longer front section and I just decided to take the idea a little more forward to bond line.
It also adds reinforcement from breaking the nose off and was real easy to create.

I have a couple sets of the extra large tubbies already made that I'm going to bring to Daytona, but I'm not planning on selling the front section because it's real easy to create just with expanding foam.
With the ski upside down, I just taped a piece of cardboard to the front section and up the sides of the hull. I used two-part expanding, eight-pound foam, poured it into the cavity and partially on the front hull section. I used a small piece of aluminum tubing inserted in the front bow eye to keep it from leaking through and to add some extra support. Then just use an ordinary wood saw to cut the foam flush with the hull contour. I then mixed some 3:1 epoxy with micro balloons and did the final shaping before laying a couple layers of 3 oz. chop, then sanded it smooth.

That hull looks so clean.
My next hull will have the dual front exhausts for sure.
#.0 you sell a kit for that ?

I wasn't planning on selling any kits because it's hard to find all the mandrel bends at a good price. I was lucky to find some long intercooler pipes with all the bends needed on eBay for about 45 bucks not including the silicone hoses and I'll have to thank Tom21 for TIG welding them together.
Here's a picture from the inside and its all metal to metal contact with 4-ply silicone hoses, so it should last a while and be very heat resistant.

Why dual? Is there a benefit over the single front only? I am pretty anal when it comes to symmetrical things but I can live with only one side exhaust since I can't see it while riding.

I'm going with the dual only because it'll match the look of my rat rod square. Plus it should be fun riding in my own smoke no matter which direction the wind is blowing. :fing02:
#.0 I have that picture saved and still remember when you first posted it.
Sure is a clean install, just wish I knew someone with a TIG.

The dual front exhaust cuts down on the noise and smoke slightly; also it acts as a water drain from one side to the other during turns.
Also having the exhaust come out in stereo, just sounds so kewl.

That's just a walk-in closet with six storage shelves and a bunch of old jet-ski parts.
BTW... I'm running low on 64X intake manifolds and 61X-62T front timing covers.

If you have some front timing covers without the oil pump hole, bring them to Daytona and I'll give ya some cash. :burnout:

Very nice and clean!
I wish I would have done mine. I just widened mine a little in the rear.

bump to see if Chris can answer these two questions for us.
I am going to be working on these mods to my SN over the next few weeks. Good stuff here.
