The motorcycle type seat of FZR attracted the attention of Chris Mac Clugage who had the idea to produce a similar looking unit for the Ultra in order to enhance ergonomics, reduced the overall weight of the craft and also freshen up the Ultra’s looks. Similar to the hood it is made of lightweight fiberglass but for and additional $200 USD can be made of carbon. This seat unit weighs complete 14lbs(6,4kg) and is available in black but also it can be left unpainted according to the customer’s needs. Available from Macc Racing at the cost of $1.250 USD including the seat cover.

This new Ultra 250/260 hood is made by Macc Racing. It is produced of the same quality of the other composite products of Mac Clugage’s company. It is made of lightweight fiberglass but for an additional $200 USD cost it can be made of carbon. The hood is a two piece unit which makes for less expensive shipping (a very crucial fact). It weighs a total of 5,0lbs (2,3kg). The hood comes off easy in the front with Zues (quick release) fasteners for easy gas tank access. In the back the hood is bolted down to the original hoods mounting area. The hood costs $1000 USD and is available in black but also it can be left unpainted according to the customer’s needs. Available from Macc Racing.

Mark Dobson of ViPec Ignition and Bill Chapin of R&D are getting together on a single project, to race a Yamaha FZR in Mark Hahn 300 on Feb 28th. Additionally they will team up with Chris MacClugage of Macc Racing who will pilot the Yamaha FZR. Dobson had already made his race debut with MacClugage in Thailand with a special Turbocharged SHO. Chris is already testing the FZR and he is pretty amazed by the performance of the overall package.

ViPec (Versatile Intelligent Performance Engine Controls) manufactures programmable ignitions for various applications. Vipec marine ECU is available in two models (V44-V88). Both models are 100% water proof. These ECU have the cases fully filled with a special marine silicone, unlike other marine ECU that have the cases sealed. As there is no air gap inside the case, water or moisture cannot get into the case due to air pressure changes. In addition to the filled cases the components used in this ECU are very low profile. This makes the Vipec marine ECU very reliable in high vibration applications. The development of this ECU comes from many years of building and racing marine engines and experiencing the problems of other make ECU on the market. The V44 Marine is ideal for small watercraft, such as Jet Ski’s. Also this ECU is suitable for snowmobile. Mark Dobson of ViPec is currently working with Bill Chapin of R&D in order to develop a suitable ignition for the new Yamaha FZR. Mark recently informed us the following: “we will have an adapter harness that will allow you to unplug the stock ECU and plug the ViPec in. until we get the adapter finished we will only offer custom applications...like what I have been running thus far”. Mark was backing a Thai racer at the World Finals who was competing on Yamaha SHO.

The particular aftermarket product is designed and fabricated by a professional tinsmich. Constantino is also a pwc racer and having seen a few aftermarket Ultra hoods and seats he decided to make his own one. The funny thing is that these two units have a very good fit and they do not need aftermarket or tricky brackets to bolt on. You simply use the OEM assemblies to fix them on the craft. The seat a little bit higher than the stock one and the aftermarket Riva or Jettrim covers can be used. The seat weighs 6kg and the hood 8kg and their cost respectively is 1200euro (without the cover) and 800euro. For more information you may reach Costantino at constantinocars@hol.gr or tel:+30210-2321201. Both products have great finish and superb quality.
