hows this coming along?

We had a nice run of 50-60F days, so I've been dirt biking every minute I'm off work. Nothing done for the build yet.

RRP pole pad that matches the hull showed up today. Billet RRP pole and steering will be here tomorrow. Just need to order water and fuel lines. Assembly will be Saturday April 2, as I have to work this whole weekend.

Saturday is "GO" time for assembly!!!! Pile-0-Rickter. Going to stop by McMaster tomorrow for last minute stuff, but otherwise think I have everything.

How did the build go?

 

[shawn_NJ]

Just got back home after spending past 2 days @ my buddy Alex's house putting the Rickter together. I cannot thank him enough for showing me the right way to build a Rickter. Being a kawi guy, there is so much about yamaha assembly I did not know, and without him I would not be riding till July.

Ski is about 90% complete. Just have to run the rest of the waterlines, fuel lines, and some misc finishing details. Eta to start it up and maybe test ride is next Sat. One big discovery. The XScream waterbox fits incredible in the FS2. Perfect, like it was made to be there. It frees up some room by putting the chamber where it should be. Easy gas tank removal.

Sorry for crappy cell phone pics. I brought my good camera but was too concerned with the assembly to properly document it.
