    Red Bull world record jump

    http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/video/videopage?videoId=2788880 Just found that on ESPN looking for the Red Bull MX jump. 245 feet on a sled is pretty impressive too! That distance made that tractor trailer look small...

    Look what we made.

    R&D and West Coast made a single 750 mikuni 44/46 manifold. I have the R&D version and have seen a West Coast one before. There is an R&D on eBay now but it is a bit pricey. Nice job in saving some cash and making what you need! :)

    Red Bull world record jump

    He had been practicing for weeks prior to this. No way in hell would I one attempted a jump like this or two ever consider doing it at night. I would want a perfect smooth runway with no twists or turns like he had. Someone tell Edwin that he did it on a CR 500 too conversion bike too...

    PlANNING AN x2freeride

    Now you guys are talking! I am only about 5.75 hours away instead of 10 or 12+. What ths chances of it being over Easter or Memorial day weekends? I get a day off work for each of those and wouldn't have to burn up a whole bunch of vacation days. Still though I could use half a day on Friday...

    What is closed course style porting?

    Be careful with that seller... I bought a 750 Kawie engine from him years ago and it came with cracked/rewelded cases, slightly overbored cylinders with the same pitted up pistons and oversized rings. Whoever rebuilt the engine was so kind ot only mill "some" of the pits out of the head...

    300/440/550 212 HP 650cc X2

    No not really. I guess I will just have to buy one from Japan then. There are a decent amount of us X2 guys who would buy a light weight X2 hull. Like I said all you need is to use your SXR bottom deck and restyle an X2 deck to match it. I bet as many people who have bought an SXR hulls from...

    300/440/550 212 HP 650cc X2

    The real question is when are you going to build an X2 hull? Just mate a top deck to one of your SXR bottom decks and I will buy one.... eventually :) Restyle the hull some for a new spin on the classic Kawie. Also make an the your Polaris, a GPR 800R, or an 1100 ZXi tripple fit in there too!

    '87 JS550 bilge line repair suggestions needed

    I had an X2 hull once that the previous owner put in a second cooling for dual cooling. You need to try and yank out the old line. Then you can run a drill through the hole. Some places sell a long drill bit. Then just use a piece of 3/8" OD stainless tube and replace the tube/pipe. I would...

    fuel tank straps -

    I thought the WestCoast just used the stock straps. I may have some spares somewhere if you can't find any else where. Gordy30 on eBay usually has some for sale.

    SX/SXi/SXi Pro Big pin, little pin 750 sxi questions

    I would have to dig up some pictures of my old 750 engine, it was a small pin for sure since it came from a 92 750 SS. I am pretty certain that there isn't even any material on the small pin cases for the two inner holes. Liek i said before the big pins have these two holes even if they are...

    Shipping overseas.

    I always ship overseas. Those guys always pay more for parts! Send it via USPS Global Priority Mail. All you have to do is fill out a customs form. Make sure you get insurance so it covers the cost of the shipping and the item cost. That way if it gets lost the buyer will not be out any...

    Modified X2 build (stripped the hull)

    Beats me on mold cost. I read once that hey can be in the ten's of thousands... You have to have a good plug aka hull to make the mold off of. So if you want to redesign the hull in any way... you have to do it the to plug so the mold has the changes. It isn't best to make the mold, then...

    Decisions

    I agree it is an R&D. Look between the two bolt holes, the name should be cast on it there. Post pics of the other intake gates. The two bar deep grate sounds liek a westCoast one. Those were a decent two bar grate. I figure with a 750 you will need a 10/18 or a 16 degree brop or bigger. I...

    NEW Thrust Innovations Trim for kawasaki Sxr

    No offense but if it is only using the stock pump nozzle and you have to buy an additional Protec steering nozzle, that seems pretty expensive to me. I know the Skat's and SE's are around that price range but you get the whole setup. Not knocking your parts because I heard good things about...

    701 to sxr wet head pipe difference

    I was always told the Kawi FPP head pipe was a little thincker at the three bolt flange where it mates down to the exhaust manifold. Supposedly when you hold it up to a Yami FPP head pipe it is noticable. Otherwise they are the same. I have seen pics though where they have the water inlets in...
