I am a tall rider also. I am 6'5" 235 lbs and I have the R&D ride plate. It is plenty long for me, but sometimes I wonder if a wider plate would help me out. I know Rick Roy has some longer ones. You may want to contact him. They also make hull extensions, but that can change the turning of the...

Hey guys, I am looking at buying a 2009 used kawasaki sxr. It has a broken handlepole and thats all that is wrong with it. I was wondering what I should look at to see if there has been any major damage done to the ski? I wanted him to drive it to a local repair shop that is 30 min form...
