Jesse, yeah that is our mastline mainline. .. were still trying to figure the best way to package it we want to make it in a standard boat lenght too. . but its really expensive to splice so I am looking into a splicer and leaning myself

big_dee45, PM me your Cell and I might have a little sump-n sump-n poppin off Friday of this week if so Ill hit you up. . and I think there will be lots of footy up mid November from the Blacktop Brodeo so keep an eye out

Kent, Chapparal is the problem. Don't ever order anything from them. Try giving my boys at John Burr Cycle a call. They will at least point you in the right direction. Ask for Pat or Vic in parts 909-823-1338. Tell them Todd West sent you and explain you are an o.e.m. looking for wholesale parts. Sprocket Specialties should be able to make anything you could need.

Good Luck,
Todd

kento911, Just spent the entire morning looking at this post(all 22 pages). Superb !! Of course Nick & I are interested. I'll keep more updated. Upon looking at it..an idea popped up in my lil pea brain. Could the handle bars , mast, & controls be pivoted 90Degrees to keep the operator away from exhaust, chains etc & give a better view of the rider. No you veinerscnitzels ...I don't want to design one myself. Just something that happens to me once in awhile..an idea. Congrats Kento..that thing is sick. The tortious always wins the race. Smile

Hey kento! Good to see progression in your winch project! It looks good. Get it out asap! The more winches out there the better! Yes wakeskate is soon to be called waterskate and urban riding would finally be available to our American cousins too! Wink

ToddW, yeah one of my good friends dad is Rod Moruzzi (me and Robert grew up together) once I know exactly what I want I will go through them. . but to find parts I need a place with a ton of shizzle in stock so I can look at it in person before I buy, anb CHap is about the only place that keeps all that crap on the shelves

JTwakeskater56, belive it or not we tried to kick them out more but they were too flimsy but thanks I always am open to suggestions. . btw thats unfinished as of yet we still have a chain gaurd going on and some other stuff. . .you and Nick shoul dcome check er out at the Black top Brodeo contest Jimmie Walker is throwing

NR, viva la revloucion. . always glad to hear some positive reinforcement form a fellow winch man

headhuntermx4, I still wanna keep it around 2000.00 usd if I can but I wont know til I order all the parts for the production one we still need some stuff in a 10 quantity so Im sourcing that stuff
