I have just stripped mine down during a rebuild and it's so right that the pipe needs to be square! I took the engine out and sat it flat on the bench, stripped pipe and manifold off and changed all the gaskets, fitted new orings in the pipe and offered it back up. You know whe the orings are...
What an amazing vid!!!! So good to see the good going wrong sometimes like has been said above, although I thought you were supposed to keep hold of the ski when things go wrong so it doesn't land on you?? Couple of moments I thought he was going to have a ski in the head!!!

I know the SJ brigade love to move their batteries and wondered if there is any mileage in the SXR to do the same and if so where people put them??? Whilst hull is empty I am just looking at what has to go back in and whether any of it can be moved to a more beneficial/tidy position??

Sounds amazing!!! Need to find some new spots to ride as the surf here is hit and miss to say the least!!
Keep at it - nothing better than feeling wiped out after a days play!

I have been trying to view videos in the vid/pics section but there never appears to be a link to a lot of them??? The only ones I can seevare ones people imbed in their post and the others must be there if you read peoples comments?!?
What am I doing wrong??

The pipe looks very sad for itself and being such a monstrous exhaust wasn't particularly conspicuous when the hood is removed!!! So I handed it to a friend who shall now be known only as 'The Pipe Polishing Man' and you will see why!!!
I handed him a very manky looking dry pipe which looked...
Been busy tonight with the paint stripper, started with a Kawi green AC pole which looked like this -
And after a lot of elbow grease ended up with this -
Quite pleased with results, although this isn't getting the 'Pipe Polisher' treatment so doesn't need to be 100% as it will be prime...
Well it's been steady progress this afternoon with regards to the glassing work, the time is spent waiting for it to cure so it can be sanded down. After destroying my rail caps trying to take them off and being quoted £571.00 PER SIDE I looked at my options which were all pretty expensive ones...
Also while I think of it, what does the shortening of the plate and d cut do to the handling of the ski?? How does it change the way the ski rides?

Hi guys
Just a quick one in relation to rideplate suitable for surf/freeride - is it a case of cut the standard one down flush with rear of ski?? Seen a few different versions of modded rideplates on here and just wondered what works best?

Thanks for the link Titan that's really useful bud, what sort of filler did you use to smooth out the rails? Looks like a really neat job - if mine end up like that I will be over the moon!!! May have to find out who is going on holiday to the states I think, haven't managed to find a UK price...
Titan - been reading some other posts about how to turf the rail caps, I assume this is what you mean?? I think I will have to come up with a way to fill and smooth them out. Was hoping to find a step-by-step post from someone so I could see how best to tackle it.
Do people use sheet turf to...
