I had a similar issue on my sj with the rrp. I ended up heating the spring and rebending it. Pretty simple and now it works like a charm. It seemed exactly like yours, where it wouldn't even fit and needed to be replaced, but it ended up taking a bit of persuasion and it worked fine

Went with a stock pole spring for now. Was a breeze to instal. Pole is pretty weighless but not as weightless as the blowsion spring was on the stock pole.

Anybody have sj pole length recommendations? I was at 39" from pole bolt to bars. I'm at 40" right now, shortest I can go without cutting tubes.

I'm in the IJSBA region 5, or what was region 5, don't know if they call it that now.
TXH2O runs the events in this area and has 2 races this season in the Houston area and one in OK. Plus we have a riding group that goes to the local MX track where we have a private buoy course. Hard to set up buoys on a public lake.

Look really good. I like how you hid the reg numbers in there.

Thanks, I'm not sure how the police will feel about them but I normally ride from base so they really cant do much more unless they stop me in the water. All three of my skis reg numbers are displayed but all incorrectly in someway lol. Size is wrong, and reg sticker is hidden underneath poles.

It's hard to ruin the outside of expensive skis with super ugly government badges and reg numbers. Not to mention oem and aftermarket seem to always forget some people don't ride private Lakes and closed courses ALL the time. It would be nice if they could integrate a spot into the graphics that make it look better.

Really your only option is to test and cut if needed. The formula depends on your height, arm length, riding stance and where the centerline of your handlebars ends up. If you end up getting one, a lowered pole bracket can change everything as well. It's impossible to say what length will end up being ideal for you.

Did you get your spring situation figured out? I'm running into something similar with my RRP lightweight pole and working on a couple ideas to keep the small end of the spring from potentially popping out. It looks like a big oversight on RRP's part. They really should have left more aluminum for the spring. Strength shouldn't be sacrificed for weight.

Edit: Just saw above that you went with the stock spring.

True. Its currently 1" longer than where I was. Which is as short as I can make it before cutting the tubes. Weather hasn't been great and Im working this weekend, but hoping to get out soon and play with it.
