Pipe. :fing02:

Doesn't exactly fall into the specified "Does not require major aftermarket part" category, does it.:stups:

 

[Boris]

Turf is bigger than a pipe. :jester:

 

[Honky-Tonk]

Turf is on the edge and pipe is out of the ball park.

I am talking about low $$$ mods.
Scupper is a good one. Low cost parts, high labor (free when you do it yourself) and big reward.

 

[Matt_E]

And a free 30lbs weight gain to your ski in a few months if you fauck it up.

 

[Honky-Tonk]

Internal fuel filler is another.

Still haven't work out the benifits for that though (some one will tell me I am sure)

 

[GDFL]

Read through all the stuff that FL-Cracker did to his ski to make it lighter. he did some good stuff and a good bit of it is cheap.

mill head, rev limiter delete, if you have aluminum stock intake grate cut out grill and weld in a little plate to make a scoop, i wouldnt spend a penny or 1 second on internal fuel fill, gut factory waterbox, redrill steering plate and shorten stock handpole to shorten steering

Any more information on the water box?

Don't bother.
The only benefit is looks, and it takes a lot of work to get it looking just right.

slutty hood mod for SN or lower a RN hood.

 

[ksarge91]

Shortened pole, homemade quicksteer (move cable to the farthest hole/redrill nozel closer to center), D-cut rideplate, Hood mod. Total cost: $0

If you work on your ski a lot it's worth every second, I can't tell you how many times I've pulled a my gas tank.
But shortening the pole, quick steer, and making my own xmetal-style handlebar setup, dcutting my ride plate and footholds are my favorites. In retrospect I would not have modified my hood.

Hood mod?

Does it just make it easy to pull out the tank?

 

[suva]

Hood mod?

Slutty hood mod, replacing the stock liner to allow less water to get in. Giant PITA

Does it just make it easy to pull out the tank?

Yes, way easier. You have to drain gas out of a full tank to pull it with stock-style filler.
