Alright! Let get started! But first Cheers to anyone I have purchased parts from or have received advice from. This includes Chris @ JetManiac(The man, The Myth, The Legend) for nearly 90% of these parts and answering a bunch of my stupid questions, Freestyle 650 @ Epic for the great Billet couplers and customer service, and SmittySX for the "already started to modify for SN" Front Foothold... This one is for you!
This off season, I decided I was not happy with the original gel coat or the decals I installed so I decided to have the ski repainted/returfed. Upon disassembly I found some more things wrong or that I wanted to change. So I decided I might as well do some upgrades while its all apart.

I'm probably forgetting something but you get the picture....
To start out this "Frame off Restoration", I've decided to have a couple pieces powder coated and others reanodized to better flow with the new paint scheme. Also had a bunch of items to modify for aesthetics and some for function.
Modification To Do List:
- Fuel door delete/ one piece nose
- Yamaslut Hood Modifications
- Fix/replace steering cable thru hull fitting(thank god the foam is still dry)
- Modify Front foot hold for storage box and trimmed for a SN
- Modify pump and exhaust manifold for dual cooling
- Clean up AC handle pole welds
- Clean Bilge and coat in Bilge coating/paint
- Clean/repaint engine to match color scheme
^Drilled and tapped for Dual Cooling Setup
^New Wear Ring, Pump cone stuffer, 9/15 Hooker, and Bored reduction nozzle assembled
^Front foot hold modified to fit and start of storage door( idea from member special fx).. Steering through hull fitting replacement(Awaiting 2 part foam from us composites), and Also Bilge cleaned/prepped and painted..
Powder coat parts list:
- B pipe Exhaust Manifold
- B pipe Limited Chamber
- Rear side rail molding transition pieces
- Bed plates
Anodizing parts list:
- Blowsion Throttle Lever
- UMI Standard Steering Plate
- Blowsion Billet Hood Latch
- Blowsion SN Billet handle pole Bracket
- Cold Fusion Billet Battery Tray
- ODI Grip Rings
- FRI Billet Fuel Selector Knob
Upon slight disassembly for paint and new part install, found seal or crankcase gasket leak in flywheel cover area... Decided to reseal the entire engine.. awaiting OEM Seals and gaskets to properly do job. After resealed it will be getting a lightened flywheel installed, along with some epic billet couplers.
Only hint I will give on the color scheme is it will still be my colors of white, black and yellow/gold and will still have factory decals to an extent. My goal on any of my builds is to have people think it came from the factory that way. Stay tuned for more updates!
