UFS K2 250cc
Huh, cannot use certain punctuation marks, this will be fun!
Size 11 US, UFS K2 250cc, Size large USD Carbon soul plates, Size large Fiziks frames, 57mm Face wheels, Bones Swiss Super 6 bearings! Grinds feel very close to the bottom of my foot, the soul plate grooves are set just a touch behind the frame groove for more natural feeling royales and farvs! It really feels like the older style skates, minus the one piece toe plate backslide plate and the ability to control backslides and royales the same way, but I can actually do farvs and torques with ease and I feel almost nothing when I go over bumps or cracks because of the frames! If K2 took this idea and made it their own by integrating the soul plate and cuff as one piece or making the cuff internal like with the King 55s, they would dominate the industry again by making lightweight, comfortable and durable skates with truly replaceable parts!

Do you think you could give a smaller summary of how to put carbon soulplates on fatty's? I have an old pair that I got for cheap and I love 'em and all, yada yada, really small soul plates.
Do you know if you have to go at such lengths for the fatty's?

I do not suggest doing the above modification on any K2s where the soul plates are glued onto the boots. You will ruin the boots trying to pry everything apart.

Those would sell soooooooo fast if they were ever re released like that.
