KAWASAKI SXR + EME Q8 = inexpensive backy FUN :Banane01:
The EME Q8 can take any motor: Yamaha, Polaris, or in this case the Kaw SXR 800 motor…special EME composite bedplate is required. This ski will use all stock parts with the exception of the waterbox (I am running the old school X-metal box), gas tank (I am using a Kaw 550 tank), factory pipe (w/ sj mod chamber), skat-trak trim, and Kaw 142 mag pump.
You can run all stock SXR parts minus the gas tank and waterbox.
Here is a rough idea of $ spent to do this conversion (this is NOT my actual for this build…I want to show how inexpensive an EME/SXR backflip ski could cost compared to a NEW SXR):
USED SXR…………..…$2500 …..(I bought my SXR NEW)
EME Q8 hull.………...$6000
Waterbox………………$150
550 Gas Tank………..$40
Used -minus 5 pole.$400
SXR hull, sold………(-$1000)
Factory Pipe B mod.$600
Turf………………………...$150
EME Q8 + SXR conversion TOTAL: $8840
COMPARED TO:
New SXR: $6699……….Out The Door Price : $7600
...and yes, we have 2! :Banane35:
