sorry, I just don't get it.. why mess up a perfectly good Kawasaki, or for that matter, a newer sled?? If you want more suspension, get a newer sled. If you like the looks and everything else, get a Kawasaki...
I guess some people have too much time on their hands. Best of luck!!
Let me explain:
1. I wouldn't mess up a "perfectly good Kawasaki", I'd start with one of the thousands of 79' Invaders that are out there that don't run. I would never do this to one of my good running Kawasaki's.
2. I wouldn't mess up a newer sled (or jet ski), I'd pick up a motor from one that was already wrecked.
3. I have a newer sled. And yes, I do like the looks (among other things) of the Kawasaki's.
4. I don't have "a" Kawasaki, I have 7. But I'm addicted, so why not another one with a 750 jet ski motor that will not just keep up with the newer sleds, but pass them...
And as far as having too much time on my hands? Unfortunately, yes I do. Here in northern Michigan, we get 3 months of good summer, 2 months of ride-able snow... What the heck am I supposed to do with other 7 months???
