1: What grips do people use and recomend? Cost vs durability vs effectivness etc 2: Front foot hold, knoxi has one as do a few others. Where did they come from? Some guy in Aus? 3: Lowered pole bracket, Recomendations? 4: fiberglass nose cover, I need one so who makes them. 5: Wally (not sure if he is a member?) had a sweet easy to use tow rope but I completely forgot where he got it from.... It had a loop at each end and when it threaded through a towing eye/loop it just hooked back onto its self via a plastic hook. No knots etc. Good for surf conditinos. Ideas on where to get it? Cheers
Grips: ODI Ffoot hold: mine is pancake pete off Xh20, Random performance in aus do them to.. Low bracket: Fkn ass to fit the breather tubes round the spring and re-assemble Nose cone: PM whale-expect delays lol..
You can get a Blowsion lowered pole bracket that doesnt have the twin tube setup so you just run your cables through one middle hole like normal, Wally got that rope from the states. I have some stuff coming from RP in aussie so can enquire in a front foothold. Roger has the ODI grips as well as your tow loop.
Personally I do not like odi grips, as the material goes gummy and gets all over everything. They run $20 USD but I'm sure the Dealer here will rip you off... I use Seadoo RXP grips as they are a large diameter for my big hands, but also have a 1" extension built in making your bars a bit more wide. Stay away from double breather tubes, unless you are converting to hood tricks and freestyle...
I just use mountain bike grips ...you can get the same clamp-on types....just make sure the clamp bits aren't steel . (most are ally tho). www.torpedo7.co.nz normally has a few. I got the front foothold off Watty ( Random Performance ) in Aus.
Yeah same here with the mountain bike lock on grips they are cheap and thinner so the throttle lever clears them and they come in a bunch of colors which lucas used to get off over. I buy them from the advanti plus store in mt wellington but you can buy online http://www.avantiplus.co.nz/shop/parts/ ... ductCodes= Shit that is a huge link! anyway i have the mold for making glass nose cones they are the same as stock but without the holes.
I use the troy lee odi's, have held up well the last 4 months I second sickboi on the pancake pete front foothold- works great lowered bracket- cold-fusion.com tomski on x-h20 makes a nice nose cover in carbon or glass
Hey Steve here is one of my nose cones just finished for Terry hit me up if you still need one. I can get them vinyl wrapped to match your ski save the hassle of painting.
Thanks guys, Have the tow loop sorted and a few other peices are underway. I tryed Random performance but couldnt get there web site to work. Even the contact email (info@rpcrew.com) didnt go through. What contact details have you got for them Norm? For the bracket I will be using my standard pole so dont really want breather holes.
