With the fancy rug background

Well unwilling to admit defeat, slapped the oem throttle in the mill to clearance it, and got it around the bend in the bars. eBay $5 grips finished it off. We’ll see how annoying the hooks are before I break out the saw!

Looking to buy a rn nosepiece and a rideplate (6 bolt style) any useable condition shipped to Michigan. Thanks

Picked up a UMI pole setup and turned some bushings to accept the stock rn turnplate. I’ll be zipping the ends off the bars (they were off a snowmobile) so I can get the controls actually on the bars. In my mind the hooks looked like a good idea for carving, but mocking them up it looks like...

Epic poorness kicked in again and the wave venture intake grate was sacrificed to fit the superjet. Giving the mill a workout. Should work until I get a scoop grate

Nose piece and rideplate $ shipped to Michigan?

I agree, I bought some 1208 with the chopped backing and it’s a resin hog too. It’s rock solid, but soaks a ton of resin. Just thought I’d mention it if anyone was cruising the thread and wondered how much resin / cloth they’d need to reinforce. I’ve got both sides reinforced with 1 layer of...

Had some 1-1/8” bars kicking around so I bought some riser blocks off eBay for $12 and threw my turnplate in the mill. Turned out okay

I made it, probably should have just bought a tunnel from carterb but here I am lol It’s not finished yet, but it’s close, so please ignore all the sanding dust and rough edges

Going to bump this again, I’m in the middle of dropping a 155 into a superjet and I cut out the entire tunnel / glassed a new one in to feed the 155 and match up to a wb2 pump shoe. Has anyone that went the 144/155 conversion shoe and left the 144 tunnel as is run into problem starving the pump...

Well reading online it says 1 gallon of resin will wet out 27sq/ft of 1708 biax with the random strand backing, and one yard of 50” wide material is about 12 square feet per yard. So according to that I should be able to wet out 3.375 yards of biax on 1.5 gallons (these are approx numbers for...

I’ve used about 1.5 gallons of resin so far on the superjet, and I’m totally perplexed how other members have reinforced with 1708 front and rear on only 3 quarts with laying up wet??? If I squeegee the glass any harder I get dry spots, and I’m not getting resin pools. I’ve used 4 yards of 1708...

The bondo spreaders work really well, and clean off easy once the resin dries. In the future I may try to fully wet them out before so I don’t end up with pooling. Sometimes I can’t get rid of the resin pools so I just sprinkle some chopped fiberglass into them and let it get absorbed. Better to...

I’ve had good luck with painting the surface with resin first, then coating the backside of the glass before laying it down and adding more resin. Seems to help hold it in place. The random strand really absorbs a lot of resin though

Got the engine bay all layer up with 1 layer of 1708 (holy resin hog!) stuff sucks to get the bubbles out of because of how much memory the glass has. I also got the 1708 with the random strand backing and that seems to really eat up resin. I think it’s all wet out though, we’ll see as it sets...

How short is it from pivot bolt to turnplate bolt?

Bump

Yeah I ride Lake Michigan, and it can get pretty rough. I want to learn barrel rolls and don’t want to end up smashing the ski to pieces, but I also don’t want a tank haha I see most people laying up 17oz biax on the sides and bottom but I’ve also read about 2 layers of 12 oz. seems a tad...

Also I’m tossing the idea around to reuse the pump dump exhaust outlet the the 760 came with. I’m wondering if it’d help dampen some of the exhaust noise and allow a smaller / lighter waterbox to be used. Looks like it’d fit okay, although pump clearance may be a tad tight. Just an idea! Idk if...

The first piece of 1708 biax went down well. Sure was a resin hog though, took a lot to fully wet it out. Do most you guys only do 1 layer to reinforce? Two seems a bit overkill. Opinions appreciated
