All of it lol, I am able to make modifications but don’t want to just go out and buy parts just to return them.. Looking for a fairing, and also did you upgrade your mono shock? Basically trying to build club style so any recommendations on a taller shock, a seat similar to the sadllemen, and a fairing
@dirtbagadventures1Ай бұрын
@@fxwllmsandSOPAisbull the t bars are from a company in Oregon called “ Zombie performance “. They did an excellent job and worked quickly. I did not upgrade the shock in the rear. It’s rolling on stock, but I did eliminate the entire rear inner fender that held all the indicators, and tag and such. I put an integrated brake light / indicator combo, and a bobber style plate holder. That cleaned up the rear real well and actually gives it a “ lifted “ appearance like you’d see a performance bagger look. I have not found a company that makes a set for a VT that’s anything close to a saddle man. There’s a few on eBay that are custom jobs that look great. I’m still on a stock seat but have plans to use a local upholstery shop and have a custom seat skin made. The fairing - the fairing was a cheap kit off of Amazon. I wasn’t sure how well retro fitting a fairing was gunna go so opted to go the cheap route instead of running something like a Memphis shades and running the risk of destroying it. Surprisingly enough, the kit from Amazon worked great! No major modifications needed. Took me a bit to piece everything together properly but I’ve actually been really happy with the outcome.

@Failure_Is_An_Option3 ай бұрын
16:34 You can toally get it sorted on your own. While I can't see your welds I can hear it. If your contact tip is new, try bumping your wire feed rate. Sounds like it is loosing contact so I'm wondering if the wire is burning back on you. One adjustment at a time. Besides it's all steel. No limit to the number of times you can cut, weld, grind. Just a matter of time, money, and GAS (give a shit). Run until you exhaust one of the three.
@dirtbagadventures13 ай бұрын
Good call based on what you can hear! I did replace the tip, but I had the welder set up all wrong. Wire speed, and heat were off terribly even after trying to follow the guide on the welder for correct setup. After my friend brought his welder I got to watch him setup everything up, and even got up close while he was welding to watch how he was laying a bead. Thanks for the help! 🤘🤘

@dirtbagadventures13 ай бұрын
I fluctuate between 185 & 200lbs depending on how active I am, and working out etc. With bucket and fishing gear it’s less than 220lbs. Fully loaded with myself on the board it sits just fine in the water. I stage the gear just a tad back from center to keep the nose up for steering purposes. It’s still holding up perfectly fine. I’ve had zero issues with the four I own. However, I’ve turned this brand on to a few friends. In one instance the board had a hole straight out of the packaging. Academy took the board back with an exchange. New board was fine.

@@dirtbagadventures1 Thanks for the info. I currently weigh about 237lbs and saw the board at academy as well on clearance so am considering but was concerned because The weight capacity on the box states 265 and I am looking to carry a cooler with drinks which can sometimes get heavy with ice and would get me close to that weight limit Thanks again for the help.

HYDRO-FORCE! Its fine choice for a starter board. 10 minute workout pumping it up ( or pumping you up?). I have a far harder workout balancing my big belly on the board than I do pumping it to pressure. I hope a wider board makes a difference. I bought the "Fastblast" board which is tougher to balance, now buying my 2nd board, the "Freesoul". Its fun on the water! Unless its windy, rainy, lightening, speed boats throwing wake, ... How did the Yeti work out as a seat? Did the tail sink with the weight so far back? MAY THE HYDRO-FORCE BE WITH YOU!
@dirtbagadventures14 ай бұрын
The yeti actually works really well. A little trial and error. As you’d assume … so far back and the stern wants to sink causing it to be extremely difficult to steer, or even balance for that matter. I ended up ordering some paddle board straps and was able to move the mounting location to a more central of the board area. I’ve used it as a seat to fish from, and storage compartment for fishing supplies several trips now.

See thrus or super high rings are not a good trade off for no cheek weld whatsoever. The scope is ridiculously high. Consider mounting the scope much lower or use a low red dot
@dirtbagadventures14 ай бұрын
You’re not wrong. My original idea since I was using it as a trap line gun was see thrus which actually never happened, and eventually I learned on my second season as a trapper that a scope for the line wasn’t necessary at all so the scope got put on another bolt gun I have and I run open sights on the Rossi now. Before the trade off, even with a high cheek weld I was consistently driving tacks at 50 yards. Good shooting gun!

It is a very thick material. Nice and heavy! Unfortunately I can’t answer your question entirely. I have not done enough extensive testing on the pack to be able to defiantly say it would withstand an entire year worth of abuse in conditions like Mexico. However, I do believe that taken care of and cleaned regularly of abrasive debris it would last you quite a long time.
