Rad Dudes X2 STA Surf Brace
Ok now first off I don’t want anyone to think I am knocking other companies that already make surf braces for the Gen1 X2s. I grew up in a family owned business and I was always told if you couldn’t find what you wanted out there just make it.
Last season I rode with a surf brace since I beat the hell out of my skis and I wanted it to be stronger. With dual carbs the stock brace doesn’t fit like everyone knows and a surf brace to me makes a tone of sense, since you are closing a major gapped area in the ski for strength.
My 2 big problems with the surf brace were
Now #2 wasn’t a big deal just more of a pain in the a$$ since to you need to unbolt all you brackets to get the brace out just to do something easy on the ski like pull a tank.
With the Rad Dudes STA (Stronger Than All) Surf Brace, its just that Stronger and Smarter (more smart)
The uppers and 1 lower bracket are all Stainless Steel and built bombproof, 1986 doent need the bent one on the top left since it is the only year that doesn’t have the Elc box under the stem so 86 and 86 alone gets 2 straights.
To remove the brace we took the time to tap and add stainless harware so 4 easy screws and the brace itself comes out leaving the brackets all in place for an easy reinstall after your work is done.
Now here is the coolest part, the main section is Alum and nice and light, they are raw right now but can be coated to what ever color you like. $25 extra
I am thinking about adding for those guys who want it a 750 elc box mount for you guys who run 750 or 800s with the bigger boxes. So no more strapping to the tank. Maybe have it hung over the battery side nice and out of the way!
Ok for the brace as they are I would like to get $165 shipped. $150 local
Now I only made up 12 and already sold 3 to a few local guys so that means 9 are sitting here now.
I take paypal just PM me for info.

My 2 big problems with the surf brace were
- #1 It wasn’t doing anything since the top braces were so weak they bent after one day of riding.
- #2 To take the brace out to work on anything wasn’t easy since you had to remove everything since the pins were to long to slide out while in the hull.
