Title: There is a Rumor - Can't say it's true, Won't say it isn't
Post by: mswyka on December 28, 2013, 10:51:00 AM

That the 1983 line of Kawasaki sleds were to have been pink!  After years of searching I finally managed to find one.  But I understand that the 1983 decal sets are even harder to find!

That is a cool looking sled.

 What are you going to use for decals?

 Will look good with a black windscreen on it.

That is going to be the greatest chick magnet.  Why did I not think of that? For decals you can have some vinyl cut and you paint them in.  Pretty.

I guess I finally found some motivation to get those black windscreens made!

Mark, do you think that you could cob up some pipes and a turbo for this one?

Mark,

Turbo is too much girl power.  Or did you paint the sled that color for yourself? Ya Ya that black windshield will look great.

Still a great paint job.

The turbo is getting closer.  I have a stock pile of motors to practice breaking.

Mike:  Good looking project.  Hopefully we can get some more snow so that we can get some use out of a few of these projects!

Joel, the white that you see was a liberal application of spindle grease that has not been cleaned off yet.
