Winter mods?

So whats everyone planing on doing to the ski's over the winter? I got another factory pole for my sxr to replace my broken one and put a limiting rope on this pole hopeing it will last more than a season. Also installed a Bilge pump with handle bar mounted switch. As for mods for the rest of the winter i would like to get a Factory wet pipe for it and install footholds once i figure out witch holds i want theres so many out there. So whats everyone else's plans for the winter?

Re: Winter mods?

I am building a RN and putting foot holds in my FX-1 along with some motor bolt-ons.

we think so - Eric thinks the pump noises sound just like his '90 with bad bearings

Re: Winter mods?

Nothing till spring, but come spring time we are adding a new seat cover and some replacement graphics on Toe's sled. Mine will be getting a fuel rail and fuel/air seperator, a full set of graphics and hopefully a new manual trim.

Both will be getting tuned by Rob at RSI.

The Gf's 93 GTX will be getting buffed out, a bunch of pink Liquid Militia decals, and registration.

The Jetmate will be getting the bottom of the hull repaired and the trailer bearings and tires replaced. This god damn thing WILL be at the damn sortie next year!!!!
