Hey guys, been a crazy year getting back into skis. In 2010 I bought this ski all stock in Colorado, brought it back to MN and did the basic bolt ons. I moved in 2012 to ND and continued working on it, had the motor ported, did steering etc. In 2014 I needed cash for my business so I sold it. Last year as life started to calm down, we found ourselves at the lake more. I reached out to the guy I sold it to who said he sold it to one of his friends. I messaged him but he said he enjoyed the ski and had no desire to sell it. Wanting to get back into skis I bought a nice FX1 (has its own thread) and found myself wanting another ski. With prices so crazy on superjets and not really wanting to continue building cars after riding my fx1 I sold my fully built turbo crx and started building my carbon superfreak titan (also has build thread ). Just finished that this December so now just waiting on warm weather. Something still didn’t seem complete, I wanted one more... SXR1100, superfreak circus, superjet were the three I was thinking of. Talked to some sellers, nothing seemed right to compliment my superfreak and FX1. I love the oem+ style, meaning clean, original graphics, but modified maybe the way Yamaha would have given the chance. Last week I messaged the owner of my old superjet, fully expecting him to say “not for sale” as he had in the past which I understood. I felt the need to at least ask though, let him know I was looking for a superjet. He messaged back and said he would sell! He sent me some pictures, comp test and next thing I know she’s getting dropped off for me! This ski has a lot of sentimental value to me, I dreamed of Superfreak’s and KDXs when I was building this and loved every minute of it. It has been cool to come full circle with it. The two previous owners took great care of it like I did and did add a few modifications that I still have to look over. So she’s back... and here’s the details!

T3 ported cylinder and cases 701 displacement
ADA girdled head
44mm carbs/intake

Started the clean up process, replacing all water and fuel lines, couplers, head o rings... inspecting everything during tear down as well

Stripped the ski down, cleaned everything and replaced anything that needed it. Still have to finish turf but made/cut templates and got the motor back in

Finished up all the turf, going to redo the blowsion chinpad with some carbon fiber see how it turns out but for now I turfed the stock chinpad, all new bumpers and dash from a 2020 SJ, really happy with it
