You don't need a RN bracket. You can make the SN bracket work with some fender washers and a bit of clearancing.

The RN pole is much slimmer than that SN abortion and can be shortened with ease, is quite strong and relatively inexpensive.

or you could just get a stock RN bracket and redrill holes. there are plenty of stocks as TONS of people replace them with beefier aftermarket units. only other thing you need to do is redrill and move your hood hooks. thats the route i took on my square.
or yes, washers work too. lol

 

[SkiDiggity]

i may stick with the washers idea lol but i already have the aluminum one so would this be like down grading? i do ride in the surf so is the rn pole a better way to go for that ?

 

[Boris]

If you like the length of your pole now why fak with it ?
Just ride unless you have too much cash.

Now, if you wanted to run a shorter pole than a RN pole might be the way to go.

the AC aluminum SN pole is better than the OEM RN pole, IMO.

keep it if ya already have it.

I really like the RN pole on my square. I needed to go much shorter than the stock SN pole and I think the steering plate angle is better too. Just feels better all around. I made a custom bracket to mount mine that allows for the stock hood hook location and uses a RN spring. I'm having a few more of them made if you're interested, but yeah it is possible with either of the brackets.

I make a great bushing kit for the RN pole to SQ bracket if your interested. No fender washers needed.

Aluminum and Delrin bushings.

id have to say if you already have an aluminum pole and are happy with the length stick with that. the RN pole while stronger than the stock glass SN pole will still break before the aluminum one.

 

[SkiDiggity]

ok i just did not know and what will the shorter pole help with ?

 

[FyrHazard]

Helps to get your weight moved forward which helps with some maneuvers.

Hell yea finally someone else starts making these!:bananapowerslide:

 

[SkiDiggity]

will it help with nose stabs ?

 

[Etheraldreamer]

will it help with nose stabs ?

IMO oppinion a shortened pole helps with everything.
but its a very personal preferance kind of thing. some people love it,
others hate it.
no right or wrong answer.

 

[SkiDiggity]

ok so i should just ride one with the conversion first before making any decisions then. thanks guys for all of your input
quick question what is the best way to go for footholds for a 94 superjet ?

 

[cookerq62]

The conversion is well worth it IMO just don't use a RN bracket. Do the washer thing or get the conversion bracket. With a RN bracket you have to relocate the hood hooks. Also with a stock RN bracket the pole won't go all the way up. SN poles are so freaking ugly, heavy, and long. It completely changes the ski for the better both looks and handling.

 

[CoreyLKN]

Just do it! Order the conversion bracket and get a RN pole. I went from a stock SN pole to a -6 setup and it was the best thing ever! Just do it you wont regret it!

 

[SkiDiggity]

how much for a rn pole though? and the conversion plate is a bit out of price range for me i am a bit broke right now lol

 

[FyrHazard]

I think I paid around 100 bucks for my pole, and my bracket would be around 150. Not sure how much ski innovations is charging for theirs. But it's still a relatively cheap mod.
