i had a feeling that last repair wasnt gonna hold.

 

[djkorn1]

No, the cast part was allready crumbled on the inside. I was hoping it would make it a month. Your DVD show up yet? Shipped on Friday.

Yeah, I know a guy who can make it strong again. It might need a few mods to get a pad on it, but so what!

rrp>xmetal>umi>stock I amy go xmetal sinec i won't be able to afford the rrp this season. Glad to hear you are getting the xmetal.

Isn't an RRP heavier than an Xmetal? Pole is off the ski.

yea i just got it! good job dude, good mix of everything.
how did the couch hit the jump in the snow i was like oh that was dumb it went straight off but somehow turned around me and my girl were like "no way.. no way NO WAY YAAAAY!!"
i give it
:bigok:

 

[djkorn1]

Thanks bro...That was pure luck. It was a 1 in a million shot. It actually almost ran me over before it hit the jump...It hit a mogul and turned the other way! If you look close you can see me on the hill with my camera in the second view.

We only pushed it down once...

Does the video look a little better on DVD?

 

[stanton]

crazy!
looks better, but im still sayin look for an upgrade. you take enough video to steep it up a notch ya know.

 

[djkorn1]

XMETAL is here.

 

[MADMAT]

Nice!! Get er done!!

 

[djkorn1]

It'll be back together tomorrow....no problem. I am gonna run w/o a spring for now and just bungee my old pole pad on for now. , we only got about 3-4 weeks of riding left anyway.

 

[c_legaspi]

lets see pics of the new pole

 

[djkorn1]

nothin special bout it...just a black XMetal pole with SXR bushings. I'll throw up a pic of it installed in a few hours.

 

[jrslim84]

i have had my xmetal for 4 years and no prob other than the powder coat thats normal

 

[djkorn1]

nice!
Found more carnage. Broken Girdle Bolt and bent 10mm bolt from ratchet straps and busted off the front nose piece again, plus I just stripped out the stock pole bracket trying to tighten up the pole.

 

[djkorn1]

:unitedstates:New XMETAL!!! :unitedstates:
UMI Steering mounted right up with no problems. :biggrin:

 

[djkorn1]

:notworthy: 99% done. Mounted up easy! Bushings fit perfectly. NO GRINDING OR DRILLING NEEDED! I do need to run a spring..it is heavy without one and will slam against the hood bad. I stripped out the stock pole bracket trying to tighten it down...

The steering cable is mounted super cool and sano! Cool setup. I should be on the water tomorrow! :cool2:
