Yeah to sell it as rideable I need it. Don't want water being flung up at the ebox.

I am having severe clearance issues with this exhaust conversion. the stock kawi pipe won't fit at all. here is how much room I have.




has anyone ran a cheater pipe that can tell me what I am doing wrong?

 

[TontoM3]

ok, so turns out that conversion-plate only works with aftermarket manifolds. I won't be getting one right now so went back to stock exhaust. I read that the stock exhaust is really more of a muffler than anything and doesn't really increase horse power like the cheater pipes or after market pipes do. anyone know this for sure?

anyway I added a new fuel filter and cleaned out the petcock.
I did realize I don't have a bilge in this thing, so I'll have to add one of those.

the only thing I am mad about is I only had orange cooling line left so it clashes with the red.
waiting on throttle bracket, coupler cover and waterbox to show up.

I had to upload the pictures on tapatalk.

alright so I was smoothing out some rough edges on rails and nose and rear of tray and when I was putting my dremel away I found some turf I thought I had used already. I have just enough to the tray and footholds.
anyone know of some good cheap under-pad that I can source locally?

If you're gonna keep that ski for a while, wait it out and spend the money on hydroturf black plush pad. Do it right the first time. That plush won't compress over time. You're feet will thank you, and in the long run it'll save time, stress, and money.

you're right. I just bought some 9mm and 8mm.
I'm hoping to get this thing done before February rolls around.

 

[TontoM3]

Well a lot of stuff showed up today. Let's see if we can't turn this thing over and make the exhaust come out the back and no where else!

You get that coupler cover?

 

[TontoM3]

Should be here tomorrow

 

[TontoM3]

alright I got the water box, throttle bracket, new hose clamps, Rad Dudes coupler cover, and gas tank installed and some dialectic grease on the plugs and she is ready to roar!!


here is the video:

YEAH!! listen to that kitten purr. Didn't even need to prime it and it was 38 degrees outside!
thanks for all of those that have helped me get this far. I am going to try an hold on to this at least till summer is over.
Financially might not be my best move...but I'll make it through till things pick up in the spring.
plus I got most of the hard stuff done before the semester starts on Monday.

I will wait in turfing until I have an extra set of hands ready, it is so much easier that way.

just showed up actually so yes I did get it!

 

[TontoM3]

love it when Billet is waiting for me in my mailbox!
it's getting really close to testing time.

Did you sell it or did you keep it around to ride it?

 

[TontoM3]

Super nice guy from Minnesota drove 17 hours through a snow storm one way paid full price and really was really
Stoked to finally get a ski so I sold it to him.
