Added the UMI today

[Sirhc7897]

World of difference. I may end up playing around with my wire routing a little more but today I just wanted to get done and see how it felt.

Much, much better than stock...plus I really like the look it gives the ski.

Certainly a tight squeeze between the hood closing and the handlebars though...

BTW - anybody come up with a nice mounting setup for the mode / set buttons yet? I took a similar route to Jerry but would certainly like to see a bracket along the line of the start/stop/vts setup...

Currently I've got my GPS handlebar setup on there but I'm thinking I really like the look of the GPS hood.

Really wasn't near the hassle I had it made out to be in my head. Only modifications I had to make was a tiny bit of grinding on the top deck so the steering hub would clear and a ever so slight modification ot the air inlet housing that runs from in from of the seat to the 90 degree down into the hull next to the airbox. I had to open a little slot in it to clear the mounting for the throttle cable...It's only temporary though as most of that will be coming out when I change air intakes...Actually took me more time to get the steering aligned and the throttle linkage right than anything...

Dam that looks awesome.

I might have to do this. I put just the handlebars on last night and took them wright back off as I thought it looked cheap.

That looks real NICE.

I agree with that. I spent an hour and half putting the UMI bars on my Stock post and I thought it looked Funky!

So gonna just do a finger throttle.

UMI isn't the best way to go, it's the only way to go.

I was convinced to go with just the bars (the cheap way). All of that changed I saw jerry's setup and this one today and I am going to have to go with the full setup now. LOOKS GREAT!

It's not about the way it looks, it's about the way it feels.

[ashstott40]

ok, I'll admit ignorance from the start here...

Why does changing the bars make so much difference? Something I have always wondered...

[Water4fire]

Different seating possition. It moves you further up front of the craft allowing you to control it better and then the angle of the bars just feels better.
