Location
Milwaukee, WI
This has been a long time coming… I bought this X-2 five years ago while I was in college. I have always ridden and raced standups, but a few of my buddies started to buy up X-2’s. After riding one for about 15 minutes I knew I needed one. So, I bought the hull off of one of my buddies for $100 and proceeded to cut it up with plans to make it look like a Gen 2. Well 5 years later here it is…

Hull
Reshaped front end to look more like an SX-R
Homemade tubbies
Lengthened and deepened chines
Cut 1.5” off back and epoxied inserts to allow for removable hull extensions
SX-R pump cavity swap with SX-R pump and TBM pump cone
Complete modification of top deck
Under seat battery
550 gas tank
Skat-Trak Intake Grate
Jet Dynamics Rideplate
Rad Dudes Surfbrace
Accusteer Steering
SX-R steering cable mod
Rear exhaust

Engine
Kawasaki 800 ported by Tim at Z-Force
JSU head
NYNJA C4 pipe/Kawasaki Factory Headpipe/Westcoast Manifold
Superjet ATP Waterbox
R&D 46mm Itake
Angled Reed spacer
46mm Red Top Carbs
Advent Ignition
Accel Flywheel
Rad Dudes Aluminum Bed Plate

There is still a decent amount of body work that needs to be done for me to paint it, but I really wanted to ride it before it gets cold so the primer was going to have to due...

P.S. - I also titled my thread as a Gen 1.5 as a joke...
