Thanks for the replies guys... I think based on 60lbs, shipping here is about $600 US. Considering the lack of parts available here, I'm willing to pay it if it's not too steep. Does anyone have some specs or a link to these Rubbermaid containers?

What do you think of the TKO hull? I like the way it looks like a stock Superjet. I'd be interested to see how strong it is in the surf. Have you ridden this bad boy yet, or have I just missed a thread somewhere?

Just wondering if anyone shipped and engine overseas before, and if so, who did it, and how was it done? I'm specifically interested in getting an engine shipped to Australia, and I'm wanting to know if a nice solid box with plenty of wrapping/padding will be good enough for the job and also...

Yep, this is a great tip. I had an Enhancer sitting in the garage that I presumed was dead as it had the old spark when letting of the start switch issue. I threw it on an dold square nose I have that is bog stock and rarely used, and hey presto, it fired right up! I was THAT close to...

About $9300 Aus seems to be the best price here...

Doin it for Oz! Yew!

The only disadvantage I think to running a dry pipe is the fact that you have to pull the pipe to pull the head. I'm running a type 9 and I have more off idle hit and bottom end than I could ever get with a b-limited. I do, however run a total loss, and also have my cylinders ported...

Try Jetshed in the UK. I know they do 144mm housings...

I think a lot of people assume reliability to be an engine that runs good for a long time without any maintenance. There is a fine line betwen reliable and the amount of hours you can put on a stock/modded engine before you can expect it to fail, or have the performance start to drop off...

Wow...I just noticed this thread....Carter, nice work on the carbon stuff, and the lowered stock hood. Now, if I could just stop straing at the dancing chick, I could get more work done!

Here's a vid of a few oz boys...I'm not sure if anyone has posted this previously, but I thought I'd put it up anyway. Riders: Pete M (Sharky) and John 'Wire' Cooke Enjoy...! http://www.planetx.com.au/videoview.aspx?vid=412

They run oem 62t cases....modified, plus a few other things ;)

Cool, Thanks for that... I'd like to get it as fast as possible, so I might see if I can go direct through Slippery themselves.

Thanks Lee... I've never been able to get much from Riva, but I'll give it a go... I usually wear a large jetpilot vest. Do you know if the sizing is the same? It seems that the slippery stuff is a size bigger...ie the Slippery L is equiv to the Jetpilot XL. I'm bang on 6ft and weigh...

Nah....they're not approved here yet, so they all have to come from over your way! We can get all of the other ones no problems.

Direct from Yamaha...

Guys, Just wondering if anyone can suggest any reliable online stores that stock and will send out a Slippery switch vest to Australia? When I do a google search, I get some results, but don't recognise any of the sites, and I don't feel like chasing someone to get my stuff! Any good...

The stuff you speak of is called 'grasp'. It's a japanese made product, and if you saw how much it cost, you'd have a heart attack! It comes in a double caulking gun with 10 nozzles. These nozzles mix the two parts when the adhesive is squeezed out. In light of this, I use Sikaflex marine...

I'm in the middle of doing this now. I made a foam nose piece a bit smaller than the end product and then brushed resin over the top. I'll use something like bondo that doesn't sand away as fast as foam so I can get a nice symmetrical nose. Once this is done, I'll put a pole on and the hood...

Unplug the wires from the solenoid and put them on positive and negative on the battery. You should hear a click as it opens. If there's no click, there's no worky. If you do have a click, blow into the inlet side of the hose and make sure you can blow in it when it's activated. I don't...
