Congrats on the newborn, and you can kiss your ass goodbye for the next 6 months!

Thanks for the contribution and pictures. It's really helped, gone with a firewall mount with plexus plate with blind studs in Ali plates bonded to firewall with adhesive sealant.

Looks VERY nice. How comes it's $1450 more than a regular carbon one? Is it the extra labour for the finish?

Here's where the RRP one is tapped on mine if it helps anyone.

Any updates Stefan?

That Castrol oil is brilliant, run it in all my skis and its A1. I did have a similar issue to you a couple of years ago on an XS1000 - it turned out to be ignition related (lack of spark / poor spark) - it would fill the front PV full after a couple of rides (rear was fine) - swapped the HT...

Yes that's the enclosure I have, just not sure of the best way to mount it?

Going with the RRP pipe as well so not a huge space in front of the XS1200

Building a new XFS for 2015 and looking for pictures of MSD Enclosures installed in skis. I'm not going with a firewall tank, will use a Jazz and small battery. Anyone attached an MSD enclosure to the side wall of the hull without external fixings? Or perhaps the firewall without bolts...

From my hulls I've put on digital scales: XFS glass 50.1KG XFS 100% Carbon Ninja Competition 25.6KG incl hood, turf, bracket

Yeah mines a Skat Track large hub. Ha ha yeah I'll just sneak it on the plane as excess baggage in March! Look forward to hooking up Jim

My new XFS 2015 walk round.

He pitched it to 15/25 on closer inspection. It cavitated out the hole and lost 1mph to end! 16/23 seems to be the sweet spot.

Xjcrawler is correct on the pump, don't need a 155, just more work. The 144 Solas and Skat prop is the win. PM an email and I'll send you a complete build doc on the conversion with pictures, links to the parts, step by step how to's, order of works etc. Will save you a TON of time / trouble...

58 is a good speed, I've had 60 out of mine, but you need to balance it one the centre chine for a few seconds to get all the hull out the water. Just up pitched my prop from 16/23 to 16/25 as I'm sitting pretty much 50rpm off the limiter and way above my torque band. Will try it this coming...

Such epic vids, you boys inspire us in the UK! Your 'Run to the pub' B1 video started us all river running last year. Look what you started!

Get your grinder out ;)

Rickter are using Versaplugs as part of the 2015 XFS Competition Ninja hull from the factory, used to drain the foamless tray, seems like a fair endorsement to me.. Been running them on my B1 and RIB for years, work a peach. Doubt it'll be long before they move to a large one for the main...

If Rickter are designing and manufacturing it I'm sure it will be 100%? The Reaper looks epic, would love to try one. Variety is the 'spice' and all that. My first Rickter came 2x months later than promised but it was perfect, couldn't criticise it at all in terms of quality and ride. Had two...
