Here are some more detailed pictures.



Footstrap, I was kinda in a hurry so a drilled and screw right into the fiberglass.There are 3 pretty big stainless scews holding it down. I use 5200 on the holes. Not sure how long this will last. Might need to epoxy a piece of aluminum in if it pulls out.

they should last..ive been running mine like that for a while..in fact the ones i just put in a few days ago, i only used two screws so we will see if that lasts

Is it irrational that I just paid $400 to save 5 pounds with this aluminum bed plate? Don't answer that question....

That was you?! I would ream you a little since I have one myself and only paid around $75 for it about 5 years ago. Still is a heavy hunk of metal huh? Also you will need longer mounting bolts for both the engine and motor mounts!!!


Don't feel too bad I just placed an off of $325 on this engine.

It doesn't even run. WTF was I hinking? Looks like I will be buying a Hot Rods crank, an ADA head, a FPP 800 SXR wet pipe manifold, a set of 46 or 48 carbs, and a new top end before spring time hits.

Oh yeah,... I will be moving in a few months, this was smart.
What do you guys think? usually a blown rod bearing means pitted heads and cracked cases. I am gonna ask themthose quaestions and then stiff them if it is true. Looks like I may get my first negative feedback yet....

I was wondering who bought that thing. I am selling the same part, and I was basing my price on your insanity.

Gives me new hope that someone from this site might buy it.

And that thing weighs 3 pounds, not 2. I say you dispute the sale and get $200 back. lol

You saved 4 pounds. Sorry. Even less if you have a "rusted out" lightening service on a stock plate.

I weighed stock and ocean pro on the shipping scale at work. I got 7lbs and 3 lbs.

I passed on that engine and they are none too happy. Said the head was "lightly" pitted. WTF? didn't say that in teh auction. I knew it looked fishy. No one even lets a core 750 go for $300.

And Pete... I still think you are on crack!

It was either buy it for $400 or make it myself which would have taken me forever to do considering I would have to get a sheet of metal then cut it out and bent it. WOuld have taken way to much time. I really want to get my X2 under 300 pounds. After this I am only 5 pounds away.

Your making me question my bathroom scale, when mine was done this spring it was exactly 300 without fuel.

I was glad I got to see this monster at Wavedaze. Such a sick machine with one hell of a nice owner!

Thanks again for the offer to ride it Pete. I might have to take you up on that at Daytona. :D

Crab,
I think my scales are pretty close. I have a bunch of hulls that weigh different though so you might be different as well. Dual carbs and 750 motors are a few more pounds than 650's.


Kennay it was good to meet you! See you in Florida!

It is a 650 manifold opened up to match the Yamaha headpipe. I think it is a Jetwroks manifold. It is one I got off Ebay a long time ago new. It came wtih these special tiny nuts for the top studs. It has a different angle up to the headpipe from the stock. It is a bit more direct. I think any decent aftermarket manifold would be good though.
