Other RRP Pole Quick Question

[icecoled007]

I purchased a seond hand RRP pole - so I didnt recieve any instructions, but I have a few questions.

- The view holes in which you can see the tubes in the upper and lower portions of the pole. Should those be covered? Or is it ok to extend your pole so they are barley visible.

- How important is the "safty cable" that runs between the tubes?

- To run a spring with an RRP pole bracket - I need a spring pirch correct? Where is this part?

I dont understand your first ?? But as for spring i just cut and bend stock sxr spring and its perfect no need for spring perch

I don't use the threaded rod on my cast pole...

You don't need a safety rod or pole spring dude. Trust me. I swore I would never enjoy a non-springy pole until the ski clinic sent my hurricane with the pole just tightened down enough to stay wherever you put it. I won't go back. It's how most pros run and you'll never be surprised at where your pole is at. It's always where you left it. And it also stays up when popping the hood. Win win. Save yourself the trouble

Thanks guys - Ill take a picture of the view holes. I just need max length on the pole, and I am wondering how far out can I go.

You can buy longer tubes if needed

Supposed to always see something in the view holes.

i would say that you need the safety bar, if you don't use it you better be darn sure that the tubes won't ever pull out otherwise you risk having your pole seperate when you pull back on the bars hard. Not like the safety bar is hard to put on.

MY understand is those are safety holes. The tubes need to be inserted atleast enough to block out those holes. When that is done the base and top have enough of the tubes to pinch and hold on to.

I don't think I would bet a $1000 pole on it, especially when they give you a safety bar....probably a reason for it. I have seen the cast rrp pole not get a good clamp load on the tubes.

^This is correct.

I would also say they include the safety rod for a reason. I used it on all the RRP poles I have had.

the safety holes need to be covered because thats where the support is and strength. Also i did not run the safety bar

the view holes need to be covered , the in between rod is a safety in case you pull the cast off the poles when riding,and the spring i have you on my fs-1 and none on my xfr. hope this helps.

Just make sure you run a spacer if you are going to a tight pole bolt (not included with the pole btw). You can crack the base, especially the cast ones.

I have the pole together now - most of you guys are not running springs then? Seems hard to sinch it up tight on that RRP base.
Im running a billet pole - spacer still needed?
