Yah definitely keeping me busy and enjoy keeping an eye on the other builds.
$145 + shipping. Way nicer than any other brand I've seen. I was a little aggrevated they screwed up the stitching it was supposed to be yellow stitch on the black vinyl.

(although this puppy isn't normal)If I remember correctly about $160 shipped.

the contrast with black/yellow stitching is quite nice, that's how mine was. But hard to complain about JT's work, always top notch.
Let's just say it won't be 15% of this ski, lol.about 15% of the value of a normal x4

Yah I really should have sent back the seat to have them get it right but I just don't have time to mess with it. I've got 2 days home a week so gotta keep moving. Quality is superb though.
I finally solved my quest to find the perfect UMI cable/wire protector grommet. I couldn't find anywhere online indicating what to use as a replacement I could only find ppl saying it's not really needed. Well I wasn't risking wires chafing on an expensive EGT gauge (5 sets of wires alone) + start/stop, throttle, etc on a $3 grommet.
So after hours of looking at stores and online here is the pretty much perfect match.
Dorman Dipstick Tube Grommet #65113. It fits the stock hole perfectly and will protrude through the UMI plate and through the fiberglass with extra rubber to spare. You can obviously trim if u think its too long. Hopefully this saves some others from the annoying search both I and Scott had recently. Found several things close but it was nagging me, lol. $3.29 at Advance auto but online at amazon and many other places.
I still haven't cut out the fiberglass but to give an idea on fitment:

Probably not a bad idea in your situation.I finally solved my quest to find the perfect UMI cable/wire protector grommet.

Spent Sunday wet sanding then buffing and waxing the upper hull. Although the white looked really good, there was a lot of ghosting where the old reg and other stickers were. A little over 3 hours and looks pretty much like new.
I also got the sponsons mounted. I didn't like the way the washers looked on them so took back off and painted them with black appliance epoxy paint. I'm hoping that holds up but we'll see.

Yes you only need power from the MPEM when the ignition is on. The other wires go elsewhere. Pink to the fuel tank, blue to the oil tank, tan is temp, red is voltage, black ground, etc.
Alright 3 weeks of no ski progress but back home and ready to start finishing things up.
Has anyone ever tapped an R&D Intake for oil injection? The throat looks very thick so not sure if I could just drill and use stock injectors. I hate my one ski on premix so really don't want that.

Thanks 1of500. I wanted to avoid pre but if it's for the best I'll deal with it. Is there a specific reason its better on a mod ski over a stock?

Well it looks like you got this all wrong. You should so run stock carbs, this way you can do oil injection. Since I talked you in to that I'll take them carbs for $150 and I'll even cover the fees......[emoji5]Alright 3 weeks of no ski progress but back home and ready to start finishing things up.

By the way I hope the wedding went good lol
Haha DEAL!! I could run the buckshots from Braley with injection but figured I'd try the Novis first.
Thanks the wedding was awesome. Truly blessed we had 50+ friends and family travel to another country to be with us. After 2 weeks of paradise it's been a rough reality check being back!!
