As for the motor, it was a "crunchy" 61x that I tore apart and sent to
@JetManiac. Bored to 735, Blue ported, ADA head (can't remember the size of domes but its larger ones so I can run 93 octane. FPP B Pipe that I port matched to Blue's exhaust porting then polished as far in as I could reach with my bits. Stock Mikuni SBN 44 rebuilt and jetted and pop off to Jetmaniac's recommendations. If it sounds like I'm making a plug for
@JetManiac here I guess I kind of am. He was a pleasure to work with, took a ton of time to explain stuff to me and talked me out of a couple of things I didn't really need and suggested a couple of things I hadn't thought of.
Used a H2O designs water box into a silicon exhaust tube that worked like a champ. It is pretty loud though. pretty tight space for the water box so I don't know what other options are out there, X--Scream maybe? No way a stocker will fit in there.
Electronics are a kawi coil rewired and plugged from JSS, MSD enhancer (on sale at summit racing for a price lower than I could find anywhere) The rest is stock stuff. Next time I have the e-box out, I'm going to replace the starter and battery cables with longer ones. The hull is so deep, the stock cables won't let you pull the e-box all the way out of the hull. There is a recommendation to anyone building one! Use longer battery and starter cables! Not a big deal but nice to have.
I mentioned before I think that I used the Solas Stainless Mag 144 pump. The whole thing from impeller housing to steering nozzle. That thing is heavy! But they had a sale at powersports super center. More on the nozzles later. Impeller is a hooker 9-15. I've gotten recommendations for both the 9/15 and the 10/16. willing to listen if anyone has more advice there but more on that when we start riding.
The pole is a knock off from member here on the X. Not going to start a hate line here but I'll just say I wouldn't buy another one. I have purchased another pole from Tigercraft, gave me a discount because I bought the hull but I'm going to ride with the knock off pole until it starts to crack.
Started with a Cold Fusion steering plate/clamp and straight bars (ended up changing that later so I'll bring that up again later). I splurged on the heavy duty 6 mm blowsion steering cable that seems to be pretty tough. *Note on the blowsion cable, it is not metric threads! it comes with pretty nice cable ends so not a big deal unless you are trying to do something different. I used a longer cable end off a couch and had to re-drill and tap it to fit. If I recall correctly it was 1/4 20 threads. End result came out well though.
Not sure what cable I ended up with for a trim cable. It was $50 and I broke it after 2 rides. To be fair there though, my home made cable stop did not line up well to the trim tab on the nozzles so it was really my fault.
I used a stocker mid shaft, housing/bearing, and impeller shaft, ADA coupler set up.
I think that covers it. Can't think of anything else anyone would want to know. As far as assembly, it went together very well. Easier to work in than a SN except it is deeper so you have to reach in a bit further. I was really happy with how it all came together once I got bilge, pissers, pole limiter, primer, etc drilled and cleaned up. Deciding where to put those holes was harder than putting it all together! It was really hard to hold a drill bit up to a brand new hull!
