sweet pole and nice job on footholds! def the cleanest 650 i have ever seen...did you ever try rolling it? I just finished my 650...has every engine mod except being bored and i put footstraps in and some hardcore fiberglass reinforcing....havnt taken it out in the surf yet but everybody says they are impossible to roll
Wow, didn't see this thread until today. This is like EXACTLY what I'm planning on doing this winter. I mean totally same thing, will be good to have pics. I'm plannin on making my own twin tube pole, ordered the foot holds, bought an X2 trim, same turf, etc. I just went with the performance mods before the cosmetic mods.
As for rolling a 650, everyone says you can't roll them, I think that's BS. I got half way round without even trying off a 3' wake with foot straps (44mm mikuni, factory pipe, 14-19 solas were the only mods). And all I did was nail the throttle and turn all the way left and did a little throw tuck, I didn't go balls to the walls trying it, but landed upside down. I'm taking out my foot straps for foot holds, since I was afraid I was gonna break an ankle so I stopped after a couple attempts and will put the holds in this winter.
