[Mouthfulloflake]

best mods:

shortened RN pole
D cut stock ride plate
annular discharge big bore ( 53mm) carb
removing rev limiter
LOW pitched impeller ( concord 12/15)

worst mods:

going from a coffman pipe to a B pipe ( little to no noticeable difference and more $$)
After market Flame arrestors ( worthless and sucked up water like a elephant)

 

[brett]

for me the best mods were -2 pole, quicksteer, footstrap with a opening in the gunwhale for my foot.

im running stock steering at the moment and it sucks

 

[restosud]

the worst by far is getting involved in jet skis.
the best,see above!

 

[wydopen]

i think the best mod as far as improving my riding was foot straps

 

[Fro Diesel]

My 2004 RN had decent mods when I bought it, but the best mods I personally have done to it are replacing the weak stock pole and getting a -2 quicksteer turnplate.

Worst mod I have on my RN...turfed rails. I'd like to slap stock rails back on if I could find a set cheap.

For the 1991 650 SN, best mods were the Coffman Pipe and ditching the 98 lb stock pole. Worst mod to do was defoaming.

I like turfed rails. Did you not pad them?

I like turfed rails. Did you not pad them?

I am about to turf mine. Should i throw some padding under there?

Best: Shortening my hull, very closely followed by Tubbie-II's.

Worst: Front exhaust, very closely followed by 2-1/2 in Home Depot Valve.

I have remedied both of those (worst)
