X-2 Build

[mxcrazy012]

I cut all bumps off and smoothed the whole front.

Wondering if anyone can give me an idea for fiberglass footholds in the rear. Any help is greatly appreciated

You don't need fiberglass footholds on an X2 just use the Dakine foot straps

The biggest problem your going to have is getting air into the bildge , taking that hump out of the hood greatly reduces your better options.

There are pictures out there of different x2 foothold(google search).

Can you elaborate on this @WB1994? I am considering doing this on a build but was worried about how to get air into the engine compartment.

Here is what I did for my build: http://x-h2o.com/index.php?threads/gen-1-5-build.154350/

If you plan to freeride your ski at all I wouldn't go with what I did. I only race my X-2 so it really hasn't been a big deal and there is minimal water intrusion.

Just look at the inside of your hood and how the water/air intake works. The best way to run air is to come in around the steering section then pipe/channel it to the front near the hood hinge before it dumps into the engine bay. taking the hump out of the hood makes it so you have to do something similar to what StandupWI did to his hood. then because you take height out of the hood it gets kind of cramped for space under the hood and so running tubes up to the front of the hull , away from the carbs , becomes more of a challenge.
