I am changing out my handlepole this offseason as well as my hood on the superjet. How much lighter is the RRP pole than stock? and what hood does everybody recommend to lighten up?
thanks.
thanks.

Not only is the RRP heavier, it also lacks flotation that the stock one has.

Weight, flotation, I don't care. I want the strongest pole on the market. The RRP is a piece of art and its not breaking. The only thing I trust on my jet ski is that handlepole and Cold-Fusion parts.

If you want the strongest pole on the market, why would you ever consider a RRP ?
Anyway, I like the flotation in the pole.

You'll never break a billet RRP pole.
I think the OP axed about weight. :clown:
Content: a decent light weight, durable hood will not be cheap.
Berky's older Superfreak hood should fit a SJ. That's about the only hood that comes to my mind.
There are a bunch of hoods in the 12-14lbs range (stock is 18).
In that range, I'd consider Blowsion, WCF, and Wamilton's.
I would not consider anything over 10lbs light weight.

Me I got the XM Billet Adjustable Handlepole , after a year of riding, it still look like a new. The price is great too, include lowered bracket, chinpad, backing plate, dual bolts and Hoses.

My WCF hood was about 11.5lbs and has held up really well to a LOT of pancakes over the past 3 years.
I am also still running my stock shortened pole. I figured I would replace it when it broke and after 3 seasons of surf riding it's still holding up. Stock doesn't look the coolest but it's light and cheap.

Rrp Handle pole, no question about it. They're a bit heavier then stock, but they're not only good looking, they're also adjustable, which is really nice. They are very strong, but I have seen a couple that have broken. Definitely stronger then most handle poles on the market, but they still aren't invincible.

You have to reinforce a RN OEM pole if you expect it to last.. unless you ride like

F yeah, thats the shizz right there! Because after reinforcing thats the pieces that starts to break next...
I love Cold Fusion stuff, i agree its the best of the best from what I have bought and seen.
But $300 is expensive IMO, but you know it will last you the rest of your life... or it could be $300 for a new pole or a good alum used.
