Hey Folks, I called and asked the good people at FC about this about 3 months ago. Apparently, the ribs on the Kahuna and the K1 are made of different materials, and the "cheaper" materials used on the kahuna ribs won't take to drilling (as is required to install the K1 knee braces). The individual mentioned they are thinking about offering the ribs in the more expensive material, but gave no indicator as to a time frame...

I checked back a few weeks later and he felt that the knee braces would get in the way of a wet exit, but I've been wondering if there was a way to take that concept and fit something that would provide a solid point for a brace but not get in the way for exiting. As my mechanical skills revolve around telling someone else what I want done and not doing it myself, I've not pursued it, but it might work as a starting point. New and Improved Yahoo!
