I meant to hand you one of those spray bars before we left. Remind me next time we go riding or I can mail it to you so you have time to fit it.
Your rolls were looking good. One set i looked over and watched you do a sweet stab and next thing your nailing rolls. Man I gotta step up my game.

the nose foam is removed just to route the flex pipe. there is room up there but it would have to be custom. The Ski innovations one which is tiny wont fit. the waterboxs are to wide for how narrow the 750s nose is. it would have to be custom
ya, hopefully we can ride this weekend somewhere and maybe i can try that spray bar. I know I have been super stoked about the rolls so Its keeping me kravin to ride again

Clean job. Though I must say, You are braver than I. I used all 8 case bolts when bolting it down. Definitely did not trust only 4.

the other case bolts are still in there, they are just not bolted to a bed plate. its just like the 750sx motor four bolts to the bed plate but all case bolts still in there

Right, but kawi uses much larger 12 mm bolts. And they are strictly dedicated to holding the motor down, not also sharing the purpose of keeping the crank reigned inside.
Either way, good job, clean install.
Just hope you reinforced the nose good. That kawi SMC they used on the 750s is crap.

Jordan, I must have been too busy with my build at the time cause I obviously never read thru the first stage of the hull rebuild. I remember the parts about the pics drawn on the hood but I totally missed Travis's Burn, Sorry to drag it back up but I spit coffee all over my keyboard when i read it. Still laughing...as I add it to my sig...:lmao::lmao:

fuel tank is a kart tank. Ski was holding up good untill I pancaked a few to many rolls yesterday, broke some motor mounts and cracked my hood. But I love the ski

nice did you have to make spacers for it to get it in the right position or just extened it to reach the mounting holes on the motor?

pushed it forward and used nuts welded to the bed plate to get the proper height, my setup does not use the yamaha engine plates
