Here's a few I have...

Cool...Thanks. Got one of these suckers on a 750 race X2 and was never able to get it working.

Been really busy with work. Was just in Japan. Can you beleive I was just about 15 miles away from Maekawa engineering and I couldn't find time to go for a visit. Next time I go I'm planning it into my schedule.

Hey Dog...Come on over and we'll pull a mold off them. But I do know that youe in a hurry for your florida trip.

It's an over heat sensor. You don't need to hook it up.

I did run the outerwares all season. I thought these f/a's were the reason for the pistons breaking up on me early on but it ended up being detonation. Believe it or not I really had no issues with water. My hood mod worked really well to keep the water out. Mind you I still don't trust these...

I took everything out of the 750 electric box and mounted it to a lexan plate behind the battery. Was going to find a nioce spot to mount the coil but never got around to it so I zip tied it to the battery strap. I used a MSD started relay. Not sure how waterproof the stocker is. A little mickey...

I did one of my X2 pumps a while back with a carbide burr and air powered die grinder. Just keep dipping the burr in grease or oil to keep the burr from loading up with aluminum. Smooth out the finish with a flapper wheel. Did I notice a difference after??? ....absolutely none but I sure felt...

dog...start a build thread to document your progress with pictures.

That doesn't add weight either:friday:...Actually it reduces it if you do it right. Cut the whole gas/oil filler area out and epoxy in the cover. I used a thin sheet of aluminum to cover the hood and built it up with about 3 layers of glass weave

My bilge stays nice and dry. You can actually see the water flow over the opening and not go in when running the ski on it's side. It is a really big opening but my design still uses the stock water drains which do a pretty good job. The stock hoods biggest problem is the forward facing air...

Found the pics... Did some calculations on the four 1" tubes you used bluebread. The the total cross sectional flow area of all 4 tubes is 3.14 in. sq. Your dual 40 SXR carbs have a total flow area of 3.8 in. sq. If this is your only intake on your hood it is a big bottleneck for you.

Bluebread...Are those 4 tubes your only air intake? I'd be concerned about getting enough air. catteldog...the hood mod I did works very well.

I'd love to do a 5mm stroker with 85mm pistons. Almost 900cc's!!! A stroker will be my next motor for sure. I wish I could find more info on kawi strokers.

Oh no...did they say the first "sit down"?

Problem is Pete...will you be able to afford to buy a new one every year or 2? You seem to go through them like crazy. I do however vote you to buy the first one and bash it around. If you dont bust it up I should be ok to buy one.

I'm running the stock manifold bored out to 47mm. Works fine for me. I couldn't get my westcoast to fit properly. I do have that other manifold if your interested in it cattledog. You'll need a new manifold for the 44 as it's a mikuni.

Thanks guys... I hope that we can all get together at some point and do some riding.

Really? I kept emailing those shin racing guys asking to buy a bed plate to save me the engineering but no one got back to me. I work for a Japanese company and asked one of the guys to read my google translated email...he told me it made no sense. Thats when I started to give up on this project...

I've been riding with my pump set back 2" and 1.75" cut off the back. Not sure if the pump setback mod is the best. For some strange reason it seems to push the front end down when turning a quick corner. Not so good when you want the front end light when coming back to hit a setup wake. Are we...
