That thing is Freakin Awesome!!! I'm curious how well the homemade tubbies worked out. ??:barrel:What all does it take to do the Kawi 650? pump conversion & how does it compare to a Yami 144 conversion? I bet there is already a thread somewhere on it. NICE SKI!!!

Finally got around to making a handlepole pad for this ski. I'm getting tired of the corrosion at the mounting bolts that comes from all the dissimilar metals of the stock pad (bronze nuts, stainless bolts, aluminum pole casting), so I mounted this one using aluminum brackets riveted and epoxied to the pad and then used GM style panel fasteners (blast plastic barbed thingies) to mount it........we'll see how they work, I think they be fine.

Right click on the image from photobucket and "copy image url", then paste that in the image tags on the X

 

[special fx]

Thanks, but I don't have that option when I right click.

That's what I did in attempt #2, but it still didn't work. I'll keep trying....I'm sure I'm missing something stupid. I'm ready to post my new build thread and wanted to use full size pics, so Thanks for the advice!
