they are ridiculus pricing in my book by rrp $735 for th ekit i believe

That is crazy.

I saw RRP's up close and personal... not pretty. Tons of silicone used on the top piece/window.

Great idea though!

Off topic - any idea when there firewall gas tank will be available?

how about a pelican case? then it would be easy to open/close/check, without the need for silicone etc everytime you open it.

also for people running that setup, you should put some Calcium Chloride (damprid etc...) in the case, and should eliminate any condensation that could build up in a fully sealed case.

Would the OEM Kawi wiring box fit the Yamaha MSD brain? They are sealed very well with an o-ring.....

Kawi boxes can still leak. However it has the same problem that pretty much every OEM box has...it's not clear. Therefore, you have no idea if it has water in it or not without undoing all the fasteners and checking it.

I do like the idea of putting silica gel or something like that to get rid of any excess condensation that might get inside.

Here is what I've come up with so far. The engine is out of my ski right now so I really don't even know if this will be too big. It's about 1/2" to 1" short of the midshaft coupler so maybe. Still need to figure out how I'm going to attach the lid but I figure a gasket or some sort will be necessary.

Couple things I've learned already... First polycarbonate is extremely hard to with. You can't use any kind of normal glue to hold it together so I drilled and screwed everything together and am putting a more expensive silicone on the edges to help seal out water (and hoping it works). Also this stuff really heats up your drill bits!!

Isn't it like $5 plus shipping for 1.5oz of it though? Not sure that would do a whole box or not. Although I guess in hind sight, I've spent almost that much on the silicone and stainless steel screws and spent probably 10x the time. Crap...My decision making power in the last few weeks has been terrible.
