    What is the history of tubbie sponsons?

    http://www.blowsion.com/product/pwc/AWCO211.asp Those look pretty flat to me. 3DR made a set for Team Kawasaki that were similar to these.

    701 swap

    You just haven't seen what I have seen. The plate I saw modified made it look soooo simple. I rode some Yamaha's that made me consider this swap. When I get my 800 X2 done, I will do the Yamaha swap in my other X2.

    701 swap

    I would just got the plate route. If you are worried about the case bolts, you could also make it mount to the Yamaha bed plate mounts. I think grinding all the ribs out and all that is unnecessary. A plate is a lot more simplier and reversible if you go back to a Kawasaki engine.

    Crank case bolts. The other actual bed plate mounts are more difficult to line up.

    What is the history of tubbie sponsons?

    I remember the first side front sponsons were just flat sheets of plastic/plexiglass/SMC/Whatever tha twas screwed to the sides of skis. Then at some point in time Blowsion came out with the more 3D parobolic shaped "tubbies".

    Just trying to give the propper insight to the project. I never said you were making a mint on these or assumed it. I do want one but,... I want to see the final product first. I have some other ideas about the plates and the mounting. I think you are more than capable of making these...

    Yami conversion plate interest thread

    You cried about doing this plate forever so don't act like you are not doing it for nothing. Tell John to send you a billet Yamaha coupler for mock up. Also when people buold high HP Yamaha engines they use billet couplers with a Kawasaki style dampner. There is a reason for that...

    Yami conversion plate interest thread

    You know whan you were asking, I was thinking the same thing. What he means Terry is that you should set the plate up using an aftermarket billet coupler for the Yamaha engine. They make them so that they use the Kawasaki style dampner. Then you just use a stock or another aftermarket...

    What do you guys think aboutthis dirt bike deal?

    If Yamaha made a dual sport 450 like the WR250, I would be all over one already. A supermoto did cross my mond too. Interesting fact about the KTM. I didn't know they had a dual oil pump. My main use will be off road trials, then dirt/fire roads, then on road around town. That is...

    You should tell your boss to get you a company car too! My gasoline bill for the month was cut by two thirds after taking the new job.

    What do you guys think aboutthis dirt bike deal?

    Nah. I am looking more at the big picture. I will be buying a house within a year. If I sell my 4-wheeler, get a good tax return, and a nice bonus from work, I will probably get one next spring.

    What would be your dream paint job?

    I want to get my X2 painted and airbrushed so it looks like an old rickety boat. Rusty nails and perhaps even a viking woman on it!

    What do you guys think aboutthis dirt bike deal?

    I had a 1998 YZ250 once upon a time hater! lol You been hanging with Hypes or what? That bike never sold. He relisted it for 5k. I think I would probably go get it if he would take 4.5k for it...

    Waterdawg kustomz 1200 cc

    I remember reading on here that he helped or designed the 800 engines. But why didn't he do like WDK and make a mount kit and billet cylinders for the 800 instead of the 62T engines?
