I've been tinkering a bit here and there, taking care of small things, splitting time between projects. I ended up using the engine I had previously built for this into another ski.. so ultimately, I'm down to just waiting for a few parts to come in, get my cylinders bored, and then I can throw the engine into this ski.
Same thing as before, everything is blasted and painted, bolts are shined up and ready to go.
I upgraded a few little things, like the grips and sponsons , and aftermarket f/a, but that's about it.
Racerxxx's sponsons
spiffy and shiny
adjustable rave valve caps - I believe the kids call that bling?
I had a bunch of these style grips laying around, so I used em.
bar modification for new grips, just cut with a grinder and cutoff wheel

Nah, good ol spray paint. I think I'm going to try filling the emblem and stuff in matching purple.. because why not.
Sponsons are great, appreciate it!

Thanks Matt! It's come a long ways. Still a long ways to go, and has taken forever, but I've been, well, cheap. Lol

Last night was a big night.. filling the fluids!
Engine is together and back in, I still need to bolt in the carbs and finish little piddly stuff like finish blasting/painting the pipe and aligning the engine.
I bought a Blacktip seat cover on black Friday, but have decided against using it... and instead am going to send off my seat to JetTrim. I am thinking of doing a black/yellow/silver combo to emulate the look of the RXX seat.
And now, two pictures I took with a potato.

I thought of it, but for the 50 bucks it'll cost me to ship, I would just feel better having a professional do professional stuff. Dabbling in upholstery work is one thing that just doesn't interest me.. I know my strengths, and that (along with brain surgery) is just not in my wheelhouse.

Ran the UPS quote through my work.. 24.69 each way for 35 lbs..
Jettrim will install there own covers for $10. You would have more then that in staples.

I actually impressed myself with this last night...
A completely mess free rejoining of the pipe in the ski. Typically I end up with a bit of ultra copper on the pipe, or the ceiling, the dog, wherever.

Thanks! I wish it was a nicer ski to start with, but it's coming along..
