Why do I torture myself?..... raider fixed steer sj

[WAB]

THIS is a bld thread! Not 'watch me bolt these brand new parts together'.
Looking good!

Are you going to use the OEM raider steering neck?

 

[BruceSki]

I have a UMI from my old fixed steer hood that is slightly bent. Might put that back on here? Idk. I forget how bad I bent it.

I have some fat bars with adaptors too. Might need to put large risers on to make up for the low hood.

I used an angle grinder for prep to get the paint off the hood. Lol. Thinking of doing a vinyl wrap on the whole hood once it's done because bodywork will be way more effort than it is worth on this super cheap build.

The lines of that raider hood look sooooo right on a SN! Nice work!

 

[BruceSki]

Ground down all the loose ends. Added some foam to smooth the front of the raider hood to the SN pole. Sanding and glass to follow tomorrow.

You rock Bruce

 

[BruceSki]

Well it ain't going to be pretty..... Or light.....

But with enough 17oz it should hold up to the way I'll bash it.

Going to need some cabosil to smooth out the dimples in the foam. It's a bit off.

You ride surf....who cares if it weighs as much as a Mack truck!

 

[iangdesign]

Nice build so far. I was gonna ask what the hood will weigh once finished but nm...lol

 

[zimmy]

Awesome, glad to see you going forward with this! I'm taking notes!

 

[WAB]

Copycat! lol
I swore I'd never do that again!

IDK who has my old SN Raider hood now.... I saw it in Daytona this year though

We have had two home made ones in our crew. The light blue ski in this pic is a home made job.

Any updates?

Back burnered for now. Too many skis in my driveway from paying customers. Once the winter comes and I slow down I will get back at it.

Hurry up man.....I need something to read LOL ( My reading capabilities are about 3 words and the rest is usually pictures)

what is the plan with the back of the hood? I might be able to help you along with this. But only if you are not in a huge hurry. If you think the liner I have will work in that which it should be plenty low and you can get the rough shaping done maybe we can come to an agreement and I will smooth it and mold it and then you can have infused hood of your design. plus I know how bad all of your buds want some different lines for their hoods.

just something to think about.

 

[BruceSki]

Hmmmm maybe I can just bring this heavy train wreck with me to Daytona. Haha.
