Props to HydroTurf and Laurel for hookin me up for the season with some new fashionable foam! ya, fashionable foam!

My sxr and its new railcaps now have new, sexy turf, with lifters. I like it :Banane01:

 

[Big Kahuna]

are the lifters stuck to the turf? if so,take a knife and trace them out, pull off, remove turf, reglue the lifters to the hull............... they will stay on much better this way.

 

[IceRocket1286]

nope their right on the hull. the turf comes with rectangular holes for the lifters

 

[sflsurfrider]

woah.... turfy!

Looks good Ice but come on, no kicker?
I spy a air compressor in the back. What brand?

 

[IceRocket1286]

I had a kicker on my ski before, didnt care for it. I have the kicker still with that kit, but the turf for the bottom of the tray does not go up and over it correctly, i tried to wrap it down the back of the kicker but it looked crappy. I dont care ofr it that much when I ride to be honest.

I dunno what air compressor that is, my dad painted it and theres no visible name on it now. but it has a 5 horse PUMA motor. Its a big tank, i forgt ho many gallons. I have another one in the back of my garage also. same size, diff brand. I forget what one that is, its our back up LOL

i have to give a big shout out to Laurel for the turf she sent me for the riotride ski.............Thanks HTvix

put some screws in the lifters also or they might come off..

 

[IceRocket1286]

i thought about that, but thats NIG and i dont do that.

You'll probably think twice about it after you kick one off and are shot (lifter-wise) for the day cause the adhesive is all wet and it won't stick again. Talked to someone at Blowsion and he said that most all of them will pull loose eventually.

I screwed mine in, using stainless steel screws and 1" washers, they won't come off. Screws are below the level of the foam so it won't hit my ankles. Only thing I didn't like was screwing into the hull, gives me nightmares :bigeyes: To hopefully fend off any possibility of water leaks I backed the screws out after starting them and squirted some silicone sealant into the holes and put them back on, hopefully that made a nice seal around the screws.

I figure that footholds are in the future, but I needed something in the meantime.

i know it looks ghetto but it works and they wont come off.

 

[IceRocket1286]

Yes, I know it will help them stay on. I dont like drilling into that hull though! eeeeeek. we shall see
