I'm with Waternut on this topic. If you use 5200 to have flexibility and isolate vibration, why bother reinforcing your hull sides bridging the bond line? Make that hull assembly as rigid and strong as possible. Think Monocoque.

That's the big problem with buying inferior forein goods from China. Up front, the price makes you happy. In the long run, China has all our (USA's) money, and you can't afford to buy anything.

4 stroke. Hands down they have way more power and low maintenance. The 3 seaters are huge, so rolling them over is pretty hard. IF you do get water in the motor, you need to pull the plugs, like a 2 stroke. THEN you'll be changing the oil (sometimes more than once) if it gets contaminated with...

I picked up a set of Deore/Sun rim wheels at my local Performance Bicycle last week for $119. I think they were on sale for $149 on their website, so it was a nice score.

Oury makes lock on grips, too. Glue is for, well....glue sniffers. :439:

Very few grips are marketed solely toward PWC's. ODI and many more have bigger followings in bikes. I like my Clarks lock ons, and have some other brands, too.

Cheap Chinese crap. I hate the stuff. I'm trying very hard to buy US made products whenever possible. It may not be cheaper, but it certainly is better.

I used Plexus to bond my carbon hull together 13yrs ago. It's still together, but the glue started peeling and leaking years ago. Some inserts also came loose. Lesson learned, now I use thickened epoxy.

I've always had great service, and shipments arrive here in a couple days.

Sure, BMX will fit, but you'll probably have to cut the big flange off to clear your throttle. I'd lmao if I saw some old oakley grips (with finger indentations) on a ski.

After a few good rides, I decided to try a dingle setup - but with a twist. I guess it's not a true "dingle", but maybe a "thingle"? I mounted a front deraileur, and limited it's movement to the middle and small rings. The Forte chain tensioner wouldn't take up the slack of the small ring, so I...

How did you measure 142.xx and think that was ok? It should have been 144mm.:scratchchin:

Sounds like a horrible idea Do you countersteer in your driveway? How about the gas station, or parking lots? That handling effect is completely speed related on motorcycles, unlike steering on watercraft. Having the bars turn the opposite direction will actually give you poor control over a...

After building up my full susp. bike over the winter, I got the bug for a singlespeed. SO, i picked up a GT Pantera AL as a donor, and built a SS this weekend. The GT had been backed into with a car, and had bent/broken wheels, shifter pod, v-brake arm, forks, handlebars, and seat. A quick trip...

No, the worst part is that they probably got paid to put on their "show".
