Other Steering Indentification and Blowsion vs. X-metal setups

[jloria]

I am trying to identify what setup I have in these pics. I think I have done my research but wanted to make sure it's correct.

It appears to be Blowsion straight phat bars, Blowsion Kommand Phat Clamps, and a UMI Steering plate/setup YA-14104.





I ask because I also have a X-metal setup but I am trying to figure out the pros and cons of each system.

The x-metal that I have seems very smooth and of course meshes well with the X-metal pole that I have. I'm not sure which x-metal steering setup I have.

Which set-up would you run and why?

Will this setup even work on the x-metal pole?

Pros and Cons of each?

I am trying to get as much adjustability as I can, so I can determine what I like. I am not at the shop, so I figured I would pose the scenario before I start running into roadblocks trying things out.

Thanks everyone.

You're spot on

I am a big fan of xmetal's stuff and run a lot of it. Motors/handlepoles

I don't like their steering. Tried it and sold it. I ran UMI and then switched to RRP steering on my adjustable xmetal pole instead. I found them both to be better than the xmetal steering I tried.

Just my .02

Thanks. I was going to sell it off but I will probably just keep it and do some personal testing.

I have almost the same setup minus the fat bars and clamp, just had regular strait bars. The bearing system IMO sucks, I never had any luck with keeping water out, and redid the bearings too many times. I made my own tefflon spacer and bushings to replace it and I am much happier now. I just went to blaster riser bars and I am digging it

Jet Ski Solutions has a bearing kit for the UMI that eliminates the rusty bits.
