I hear the PT on the knee is much worse than on a hip replacement , todays PT was a nothing but it will get harder each time. I hope it all goes well for you.

I think backflipping is off the table, hopefully riding won't be though., too old for that craziness anyway.

I am going to be taking it really easy and I have installed a ramp , I won't be going up any steps for a while. We went to a class called joint camp and they really stressed what not to do and what will happen if you don't , it's not just another surgery it's at least two more and an extended...

My understanding it the ball is metal and is forced into the femur bone , it is barbed so it can't come back out , the socket is polyethylene plastic and is glued in place.

Yes a new ball and socket , the Orthopedic surgeons I used are in with Baptist hospital and they have an excellent program, I was there at 5:30 , operated on around 7:00 and home by 3:20 , the surgery is robot assisted and minimally invasive , it looks like the recovery will go fairly quickly ...

I had hip replacement surgery yesterday morning at around 7:00 , everything went as planned and I was back home yesterday afternoon 3:30 , they had me up and walking on a walker yesterday and so far so good, pain is minimal at least compared to the pain I was in before. I have a good woman to...

I have no experience whatsoever with DASA 970's but plenty with Seadoo 951's so I can't say in that respect, as far as the out of the box thing I totally get that aspect of it and I too hope he is successful. I went with the 787, almost as much HP, way lighter , but here is the engine I...

951's in particular do not fare well with water ingestion, usually if you get water in it one time it's time for a top end rebuild. The first 951's were set up with airboxes with snorkels on both ends, those sucked in water like a hoover vacuum and instantly killed the top ends , so they...

I am just interested to see where everything is going to go , I test fit one in mine years ago , to say it's going to be a tight squeeze is an understatement , the 787 barely squeezes in there and that's with a hollow tubbie on the Left side and a carbon fiber-kevlar hood with no hood liner.

I looked at that and the issues revolved around the exhaust pipe and waterbox, there is room for either to fit without major modifications.

Shes probably a grandmother and pushing 65 by now but sure she can ride ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

How did you manage to get her out of them ?

Back in the day Westcoast , Ocean Pro , Factory pipe , Coffman and Jetinetics were the ultimate jet ski parts , followed closely by Butches jet ski shop .Orange County Jet Ski R&R Jet tech , Mariner, Jetsport and DG-Dycorp were the JC Whitneys of the jet ski world. Centerfold and multiple...

I dropped it off yesterday at a facility to have a new front cover water jetted out for it , I can only duplicate the original cover to an extent since it was a cast piece with a bit of depth to clear the coils , so instead of that it's now going to be two pieces with two gaskets creating the...

If I really wanted to do that a friend of mine has a 440 that I built years ago, I converted it to a 550 with all the goodies , Aluminum 440 cylinder with 550 sleeves, porting , an Ocean pro head, Westcoast ex manifold and pipe, Ocean Pro 45 degree intake manifold 44 carb ,Ocean pro vortex flame...

I have pretty much liquidated all those parts or used them on other builds , I had a 550 reed since before the skis actually came out till about 10 years ago , I am not like most of these guys trying to relive the glory days, I lived them already , any more 550's I build will have 650 Kawi or...

Listed it on the 550 Facebook page

You do know I was just messing with you right ?

First let's make this crystal clear , this is the asking price, most of you have never seen one of these setups , those that have probably only saw them in a magazine or on a thread here, to say it is rare is an understatement , I personally have only seen two working systems in the last 40...

Ok thanks GLWS they look really nice.
