I up your game of bars forward by using straight fat bars. I use a thin KTM motorcycle bar clamp that has a flat side. You drill out two more holes on the plate to accommodate the fat bar clamp holes and you are good to go.
Another great video John. So, if one would want to run a different Kawi plate… should they also change out the cable as well, if so… what cable would one want to use?
So on 2012 they're are 3 holes for steering angle but yamaha says only 2 can be used. Why can't the outer most one be used? Is it due to cable bottom out? And this may be wrong video but looking at trimming it. It looks like it has a bolted trim tab. Can you manually trim the ski with that?
Thanks for watching, I believe the outer hole on the stock plate is not threaded. I also think "IF" you thread it, the cable will then bottom out before the steer stop causing cable damage.

Cables are specific to each hull. Jet pump, travel, etc.
JS440- I want to add straight bars and a quick steer. Short or long plate? Is there benefits or drawbacks of one versus the other?
It's all a preference.
Can you run handlebars with the cross pad on the short plate?
@@BuckleyBuilt Yes you can

Hi Jon, Can you run the 550 short steer plate on the 550sx hull? Thanks.
Thank you for watching. Yes, to run our JS steer plate on a SX, you need to switch the plate bushings to JS bushings.
