08 SJ - some Carbon and RRP

[dave787]

Started off like this -

First I did Rickter foot holds -

Screwed/Glassed/Turfed the footholds in.

Then a B-pipe Mod - forgot to take a pic once I had it in..

UMI Steering Kit - no good pics either. Can see it and the finished turf job here though - V-force II reeds now too

And Here's the new shipment - Feels like Christmas in July

Wamilton's carbon hood kit, RRP Pole, Carbon chin pad, Pre-08 Steering cable.

** Need a girlded head kit if anyone is has one to sell. Want 37cc domes.

Nice gifts, why not go with 35cc domes?

Merry Christmas! I vote for the 35cc Domes too, that should be 180-185 psi still pump gas. Stock your 08' should be around 170 psi @ least that what mine was. 38cc would about the same as stock.

The raised compression on the 2008+ SJ's is due to the thinner head gasket. When running an aftermarket head your numbers should be just like everyone else.... I got right around 185psi with my Riva head w/35cc domes; still pump safe.

Btw: Nice job on the footholds

Might do that. I'm thinkin it might detonate at 185 psi because up in the mountains where I usually ride the gas stations don't have the best quality gas..

Got the new parts on. Can't decide on the head. Think running 37cc domes will make it last longer between rebuilds? I just ran out of money with all these parts.

Thanks. Come on over for a ride.. I want to leave the hood like that. We'll see how it holds up in the sun, and if it doesn't fade no reason to paint it.
