I have big feet so stance angles are at a premium to avoid overhang. I run 60/60 to clear.

Almost hibernation time...

I Had an RX7 turbo and loved it... there is one here in town that has an LSX swap in it. Hottt.

I have one that I might part with. All Flex insert hardware. bought directly from Apex new - less than 20 days on it. let me know if you’re still looking.

Yes.

Center the boots with heal & toe to the edges as said above. I have big ole 29.5 Track 700 feet and with SI sidewinders on 6* cants I run 60/60 on my Kessler K168 with 200mm stock width with no overhang. Flush in the rear and a little room to spare up front.

Couldn't resist - pulled the trigger on a 2019 Audi S5 convertible

@MacSkiddin!!

Here’s some pics and reference points for the 185 There were very feint Dimples on the topsheet that marked the inserts. The 1st Of the front set of inserts is 76.5 cm back from the tip. The 1st of the rear inserts is 126.5 cm back from the tip. The inserts have a little material left to massage - will wait til post Covid-19 and use a tap to clean them up.

I decided to trust the dimples and do a test drill. Found 1 full set! 4 holes for front and 4 for rear. Will post pics and measurements later for others.

Geoff that would be awesome! Thanks!

Anyone have a Kessler 185 with 4x4 inserts? Hoping someone could measure from the tip of the board to the 4x4 holes and same from the tail Any details would be so great! I can see indents where I think at least a 4x2 pattern is there - your measurements would help me confirm I’ve likely got it right.

I had a built New Edge Mustang too... with an MMR 1000 race engine and Vortech YSI blower - only stock parts left on it were body panels lol

Nissan 370Z roadster... still deep in hibernation here though

Hey folks Could use some help locating the 4x4 or 4x2 inserts in my new to me Kessler 185. I had heard that a magnet can be used to find the inserts - but I've not had any luck with that - can't even get the magnet to notice the UPM inserts that are exposed (may be stainless?) My topsheet has light impressions that line up exactly with my bindings - so I tried a very small drill hole on one to check it out. It seems to hit a layer of metal just under the P-tex top sheet - and that looks right when I compare to the UPM holes that are drilled. Decided to stop there and check for insight from others before I push on. I've attached a pic of the 185 beside my 168 and also a shot of the 185 topsheet with the light impressions circled as a reference. Any help or experiences would be great!

Congrats on the K168 - love it. Just added the Apex plate to mine - managed to score one from the Apex site with the AllFlex mounts I needed. Worked great on boilerplate - still looking forward to trying it on groomed cord

Apex makes the All-Flex mounting hardware - it has the pivot points out at the ends with the mounting attachments and bumpers underneath where the bindings mount. It was suppose to come with center mounts that are optional to reduce the amount of board flex away from the plate it will allow (they suggest trying it without first) - my package arrived from Apex missing the optional center mounting hardware. Apex has not responded yet to send the other parts. Thinking I will prefer it without anyway.

Not a board but does my new unicorn plate count? Apex plate with AllFlex inserts to finish off my Kessler 168

I use Motorola 2 way radio's and add the Motorola 53724 Remote Speaker with Microphone. The remote mic works great as you can hear even while riding from the speaker - and with the big push to talk button on the side - easy to respond and no need to take mitts off. Easy for kids to use too. To mount the mic on kids jackets I added a wrap of duct tape to one side of a safety pin... pin it to the chest/lapel of the coat and clip the clip the mic to the duct taped side of the pin.

I got through to them this week by email. Placed my order for an X Plate with AllFlex inserts and it shipped out same day. Fedex should arrive tomorrow.

Hayburner at the Loaf... on my Jack hand me down...

See Jack's comments above. I've only ridden it without plates and it is 10/10. Love love love it.

Yup. I scored Jack's spare 168... Love this Kessler! It's a game changer.

My Jack M hand me down .... loving this board...
