She is looking bad ass. The mats and seat are really going to set it off. To bad you do not have 2 of the 2 gauge hoods. That would look awesome on that.
 
Thanks bud. I have a gaugeless mint ATM hood but I like gauges. I thought about using it and just putting a Hottach in the dash but I'd rather have all the data right in front of me.

I like stock trim but first I'm gonna try this "POPS" automatic system a guy is putting together for me to try.

I'm thinking about switching my aftermarket pipe choice on you guys. The TNT is great but it's like the last two Neptune's I did and I might just save it for the GSX. I want to try the Coffman's race pipe. It has water injection but is a dry pipe(pipe within a pipe with the water jacket in between) also. It's lighter weight and has won major races like the Spec 2 and Neptune. Pics coming soon.
 
I'll be getting some orange cf decals made up I'll send you a few when I get them in. The orange parts look sweet!
 
Thanks Minne. I'm loving the orange plastics. Your cap was cleaner then mine so I'm glad you sent it.

Got my sponsons installed today. I went with Beach House. The sponsons that came with it were white or I would have reused them. I hope I'm not creating handling issues. I can always cut and file them down. I like the wide backing plates they have that allow me to hide and seal in the extra holes. I filled the holes first with two-part epoxy.







Now a couple with the seat





Vents close up



I brought my work computer home to get these pics moving again. Thanks for the interest guys!
 
Daaaaamn! That's sweet :) I thought you were going to use that black seat. Man, this one matches your build so well!!
 
I have half a dozen other aftermarket X4 seats so I can pick out the right one for the situation. This one is my "Sunday's best".

I got the Jettrim splash guard on today. The nose cone was loose when I got it so now everything is nice and tight.


Then I got the new T tank from Westside Powersports installed correctly with a working pickup. I replaced a missing strap mount and secured it with epoxy.





I'm very happy with it. I will be able to dump my "dump jugs" of pre-mix in with no flow restriction. I gave up on having a storage bucket though.

 
How much smaller does the storage box have to be when you use this kind of tank? I have one, just haven't put it in yet...

Gsx tank is totaly different and will not work. The stoarge bin needs to be cut down quite a bit. About 8-10 inches off

YIKES! Where do you put the fire extinguisher?

I feel rather strongly about this issue actually. I know the d-bags at our local lakes are ALWAYS looking for a hand-out. Fire extinguisher is first thing they check for. I was cited once because, despite being new and displaying the green indicator, some pin I wasn't even aware of apparently bounced out of the extinguisher's handle. If they catch you violating ANY of the 100 rules, you get a $30 fine, which carries with it $185 worth of court costs, despite the fact that you can mail it in. Our state is out of control in terms of court costs, which have risen over 100% in ten years.

My question is who is going to reach up into their flaming ski to pull out the extinguisher when they're bobbing in the water (which is likely to also be on fire)??

Matt- she shure is pretty! :cool: Isn't it handy how Seadoo gave us all that tool storage area to put stuff while we work on these! My problem is the tool I want is always in the other foot well. :facepalm:
 
I have not used the frog skin stuff for the vents. If I have any water getting in I'll address it but it's normally not a problem for me. I may have moved my hump up a little too far. Hope not but time will tell.

I got the bars and the steering cable on today. I had to open the VTS hole up a little for the stock unit to fit. Tomorrow is supposed to be rainy so I brought the wiring inside to work on. I'm gonna run the 95 XP800 electrics but with a Micro Touch rev limiter/timing control.





 
I am in need of one of those for my 95 I have a 96 that came with the factory pipe I bought if you would be willing to trade?
 
He has an mpem for a 95 last I saw. I have 2 mpems for 95 but the Mt Rev limiter I have is 96
