i dont think that would help is situation. From the pics it doesn't look like a bottoming out problem (width of the stop). His isnt making solid contact with the stop, like the stop is too far forward.

That is the same issue I saw. I am thinking you can use bolts with a larger head.

Im confused how that would help, but on the same note. OP could you do a bolt this way (front to back) with a large head?

 

[jagerauto]

Welding or cutting it off and drilling a hole for a blowsion one would be better

 

[N3vrSat1sfied]

^agreed!

 

[jagerauto]

I mean it's $25 for piece of mind. haha

 

[speedysprocket]

Or you could just get my X-Metal pole...!

 

[jagerauto]

Yes... Well... $500 vs $25... Lol I can make you payments, and I'm local, but I don't like owning peeps money

 

[jagerauto]

Ok Alex. I started a fund.

I ride in the surf every weekend and have never had an issue with salt intake into AM filters, ya it gets a splash or 2 but not a big deal plus working around stock filter box is a pain. I would rather have a little water splash on the AM filters than have a giant gulp of water go into the stock filter box, guess its rider preference.

Good to see you doing some fundamental mods. I am sure you will not stop there.

I am only alarmed bu your exposed flame arrestors. Put some covers on them. I have been using proks in surf and they have been reppeling sand and water great for past year.

 

[speedysprocket]

I think everyone else's experience with pre-filters is that once they get wet, they hold the water and cause more trouble than good.

 

[700Pirate]

True that.

Great thread and welcome to the best addiction in the world.

 

[jagerauto]

Thanks

Finishing the pole tomorrow. Anyone have an idea on how many inches to cut off it? The bars them selves shortened it 2.5"-3.5". So.. Haha.

 

[700Pirate]

Have you test fit the pole and steering system? If it ends inline with the hood latch with the stock bars or just aft with shortened Am ones then thats a good start. Not too short but short enough to make quite a bit of difference on a stock SJ hull. You will probably need to change out the hood impact pad to something a little thicker if you are running a limiting rope with the installed stainless hardware as it will screw up your hood pretty bad. If you are not required by law then get rid of the fire ex compartment on there as well.

 

[jagerauto]

My extinguisher mounts inside the hood strapped to the bottom. And yes I need it. We have the fuzz stop us all the time.

 

[speedysprocket]

I agree with 700Pirate's description of where to put the bars- surf boats tend to end up with the bars right at the rear of the hood.

 

[jagerauto]

Cut the bottom off and taking another 2" off. Moving the bars back as far as they go should put them over the latch. If I want it shorter I can adjust in the steering

 

[jagerauto]

Pretty happy with that. Feels great actually.

100% double check to make sure your steering hits the stops before your cAble bottoms out. I recently broke my 750sx cable with an x metal pole and steering. Going to tap the steering plate for adjustable steering stops
