Maybe i should just send my ski over with a grand and let ya have at'er! haha so its safe to leave the carbs alone after the d plate is installed? It wont run to lean? Any specific brands on the intake grates or pump tunnel gaurds i should look at, and are the wave eater clips the good ones? Can i order the 05 pump shoe inserts from a dealer or can i go through riva? keep the info comin!
thanks a million

if your close enough id love to help...
yes the carbs are fine even if you put a d-plate in...
even though R&D grates are breaking its only if your breaking 85+mph... so you dont need to worry about that yet..... do you ride in rough or smooth water? if smooth water get the 800 grate(its for the gp800r)... if you ride in rougher water get the 1200 grate, made for the 1200....
the pump tunnel i did with epoxy and fiberglass mat sheets,,, its alot cheaper but a PITA.... R&D makes a reinforcement but their out of stock alot and its $200+ but its alot cleaner looking and easier.....
there are a few style of clips out,,, first of all the clip is whats on the PV holding the pin in place, there is no clip stock, the couplers are holding each PV shaft together..... waveeater comes with metal clips and plastic couplers, .. RPM makes clips/couplers that are all metal and they have less slop than the waveeater,,, theres also a mod you can do to your existing couplers, but you dont get a clip which is the most important part...
dont go to your dealer, and riva's inserts are shitty, ive been down that road,already cut them up and threw them away....... go to boats.net , find the 2005 gpr and look for the inserts,,, their cheap... get both pump shoe and rideplate inserts while your there... the trim tabs already have solid inserts......
i could sit here and spit info all day, but ill give it as you need it........
