I started a winter project , I remove my old decals and sand the ski for the paint . I will put new turf and install my pump . If I have the money I will buy an handle pole .

Looks good! Does it have blue or white turf on it right now?

 

[cmg2222]

Now he didnt have turf , he is in the garage for the paint . The blue is my old turf .

Can explain the process you applied to sand down the storage and fire extinguisher holes. I would also like to see your hydro turf application

I used a sharp chisel to cut off the plastic end caps, glassed over the holes and sanded smooth. I used a hand saw, chisel, hammer and dremel tool to remove the majority of the tubes as well.

Very nice work ! wanna make a trip out to NJ

Thanks, It turned out pretty clean for my first time messing with turf and glass. Just take your time and measure big, you can always cut it smaller as you go. I messed up on the right side and had to stretch it almost a inch near the front, its had to notice unless you look at the pattern, It flairs up a bit.
Also be sure to sand everything down with 60 or 80 grit before putting at least two layers of glue down on both surfaces.

Do you have any in progress pics of the fiber glass over the holes. Also which types of glass supplies did you use ?

Thanks , BP

Yours turned out very nice, you can work on my ski anyday.

awe thanks Mark, Only problem with me working on your ski is that I might leave kawi hand prints on it.

I dont have any pics of the glass work. I bought my supplies from blowion, they have a foothold install kit and two part epoxy resin to go with it. I only needed a small amount and didnt want to buy in bulk. most people buy from us composites.

 

[cmg2222]

I got the same pipe , he's good pipe for my 750 SX ?

 

[sxipro02]

It will work better than stock but FP limited is where the powers at.

 

[kwolfe]

what are your measurements from the dash to the footwell.

 

[sxipro02]

You just want to put them as far back as possible leaving about a inch or so at the top corners for strength.

Looks great ! What type of filler did you use >

 

[sxipro02]

Looking good man, Just a tip while you have that filler out I would smooth out the pump shoe seams to reduce cavitation and also make sure you get a new impeller nose seal. rubber ones are like 5 bucks but it will save your pump bearings and reduce cavitation.

Thanks sxipro , I use resine fiberglass and I will put some new pics this week
