    holds yes (diggers), straps no. I still need to add a d-ring for the pole rope. Gunna pass on the hood straps as well. i have them, but i'm not convinced I need them. thoughts? I plan to ride the surf occasionally. Just moved to california last year, actually, and it's the surf that...

    The decals are the Blowsion stickers, stitched smiley face, and the FX1 logo/reg numbers. No clear over them. Have to leave the option of changing the graphics when bored.

    FX-1 My perpetual FX-1 Build

    What a coincidence, I was thinking the same. Also considering a bright/neon red pin stripe, or tangello pearl (since I have an unopened qt). Unfortunately my paint skills are at their max with what I did. If anyone's in Santa Cruz and can airbrush, let me know. I have the supplies, just...

    The FX1 that almost killed me

    I know. But when I started this, there weren't many 144's in a FX-1, let alone 140 mags. Even Bonzai Bob was just getting started with pump conversions. I believe had the first customer Blowsion pump conversion, begging John D. to weld one up and sell me one for months. Tricky1 teased me with...

    The FX1 that almost killed me

    Thanks. It was my second paint job. Used HOK paint. The design was straightforward since my artistic side is a bit weak. It's fun to paint, though.

    Thank you. I am starting to think I like wrenching as much as riding.
