Kenney Keeper Stupid Question

[seatsR4toilets]

Can you install Kenney Keepers in an FX-1 or a Blaster without removing the motor?

I don't think they work on the fx1 or blaster. they have a different angle to the motor mount and I think the raised tab on the keeper doesn't line up with the motors on those ski's.

Really?
I didn't know that.
I should call Blowsion tomorrow and ask if they make them.

Also, anybody consider putting them on the rear mounts as well as the front ones?
I was thinking of buying two sets for both skis, but I think the angle of the bed plate might be different in the rear. I'm concerned that the motor would slide back and crush the midshaft, maybe more. I'm an old man now, and my tail landings tend to me harder than my nose stabs nowadays.
Or I might just be an idiot. (I'll go with that).

From all the reading I've done on the issue I've always heard that normal kenny keepers will not work on an FX-1. In addition, people don't run them in the rear because the coupler itself keeps the engine from sliding backwards. The main concern is when the engine slides forward with nothing to stop it except the flexible rubber on the motor mounts.

ok thanks.

Blowsion doesn't make them. Rear ones would be nice, almost everytime I pull my engine, my midshaft is pushed back into the housing and there is less coupler overlap.

Ken, just go ride.

 

[seatsR4toilets]

Yeah, I need to do that.

I do more bench riding lately then actual riding.
Pathetic.

I talked to John at blowsion a couple of years ago abouot them....he doesnt think they'll sell

so, someone with the equipment needs to cash in!
