Now that I'm done with trikes, this is where my attention has turned for the time being.


1990 Kawasaki JS550sx: Roughly 40hp
Remove 550 piston port engine= 0hp

Install 1993 Kawasaki Super Sport XI Dual Carb 750. Add 75hp and almost double the original horsepower rating.

The 550 pump is also going by-by and a conversion kit is putting a 750 XI pump in it's place.

This should be equivalent to a KX/CR 500 on the water.

^^ Done with trikes he said^^ lol... Watch that green thing in the corner,it wants to hurt you! That will be quite the boat, I have yet to be on one I LOVED watching the races and freestyle on TV back in the day !! They looked almost as fun as sleds to me. I have a few odd trinkets kicking around here from a Kawi dealer buyout many many moons ago.

They're fun when you're not ready to dump five gallons of gas and take a match to them. 15 years ago the two happiest days of my life were the day I bought my ski's and the day I sold them. I vowed to never get back into these things, becsuse the old piston port engines are frustrating as all get out and reed engine conversions were non existent back then. Now that more modern power plants are cheap (I paid $300 for engine and ebox) I'm willing to give it another shot. If I had to mess with the piston port stuff, I'd kindly let my buddies have there fun with their ski's they never sold.

Getting ready to send it down the road. It just needs too much and I don't have the time, patience, or money to devote to it.

Well....word on the street is Honda is going to be unveiling the new Goldwing this Nov. It's long over due and there's always bizz buzz year after year but this year it seems for real.

I sold my GL1800 not too long ago in anticipation of purchasing a new 2017 HD Limited with the new Milwaukie 8.....so we can pretend to be part of the Mongols or the Boozfighters. But with news of Hondas new wing I thought I would wait and see it. Also Yamahas new 2018 Royal Venture is out and looks to be one nice ride.....but they are not at dealers yet.

So until then me and my wife will continue to enjoy our old and trusty SE-I. This was us the other day at Palomar.

I got a bunch of parts for my mini bike. Yesterday I painted the frame and swing arm. Today I put in the new Delrin bushings and started assembly.



I'm doing the 12 volt conversion and ordering some new LED lights n stuff from webike.

[El Camexican]

Still polishing and painting. Hardware comes in next week.

And a handycap parking pass?

[plastikosmd]

Thank god no
Dealer showroom doors open to that spot, that is where they pulled it out, note lack of curb

I hope many years until that placard!

And today's project. I picked up a Deere gator. Frame is beyond shot. They put a steel strut across the dump body to hold it together. I bought a frame for 125$ and now to clean it up and swap. The green is suppose to be continuous in this photo(ie the frame!!), what you see in between is some steel they put on the floor

No pics for me ! I know it's my problem as El was able to see them. Congrats on new wheels
