My Rok, built mid 2012, has foam in it but I asked for it since I wanted a surf ski. Probably is just Great Stuff expanding foam though. I also don't have that block, just some inserts for rubber straps.
I'm pretty sure the ski is a glass/carbon mix btw (not really sure what Jeff gave me...
I used to ride in Maryland with some of these guys, the Bay is different riding. You usually find a 45+ Viking or Hatteras and chase it for about a mile as it comes or goes from the marinas (we literally wouldn't move for any boat under about 35ft). They put up a consistent 4-5ft wake right...
bumping an old thread but I found the this thread looking for the same thing than found the answer, 13070-3708 for sxr. The kawi parts catalog has it under Hull and calls it a Guide, Intake.
Also the catalog is online here...
Couple of things based on my Kawi WDK ROK:
1. I used the rubber seal but still used some silicone (the top had a very small gap, like 1/32" with the pump bolts tight)
2. Similar to your aquavein, I had to use an angle grinder with a flap wheel to sand down the back of the SXR scoop grate I had...
I have an SXR based ROK, I'm running a 550 tank that I converted to internal fill with a standard kawi cap, a hole saw and some glue, it fits the hull really well.
I'm not entirely satisfied with the tank though as the filler neck leaks and the tank is old and cracking. I'm friends with a...
That might have been my ski.

I'm not sure what the stock shafts are made out of so I can't tell you if its stronger or not, but in general I don't see a problem with a 318ss shaft. If someone knows what the stock shafts are and their heat treatment I can probably give a more detailed comparison. Generally, strength wise...
Yup in the rare occasion when I spec out powder coating for industrial applications, I'm very careful about which shops get it because quality control is so critical.
That said I freaking hate powder coating because when it starts going bad and starts to peel you get corrosion under the...
There are a few guys here running their FI on 701/760's, supposed to be good stuff. Built a 1100sxr with injection too. From what I can gather its an Alpha N system. Haven't had a chance to look at one in person yet, I'm quite curious as I'm a bit of a Megasquirt guy myself...
I used this alot for back chasing resin out of inserts, best tool you wont know you need

Not sure why the intake grate would be so difficult, honestly could do a pretty sweet one with a welder, angle grinder and drill press in half a day similar to Madness Maker's, and a really sweet adjustable one with manual mill without much more difficulty. That said unless I had a hull that...
Lol you caught me. I'm also a climber. That was just for the picture when I put it on awhile ago to show how it worked, actually have a stainless oval quick link on it then the prusik cord.
