Basically found stored in a Texas barn after ~30 years. Never registered, never tagged. I have the original MSO's.

:bigeyes: That's cool. :bigeyes:

I always wanted to find an old motorcycle or car in a barn but these would do.
Would make a cool display.

Have they ever had gas in them? I bet they would fire right up. Gotta be worth something:biggthumpup: Good find !

dont fire them the seals/gaskets/line/hoses are all probably shot/brittle

whats the point of riding them anyways? u can go buy one tomorrow for 100 bux to play on ......... why ruin what u have? if your lookin to keep them then cover them up and put them back in storage. if your looking to sell them id say contacting kawasaki directly might be a good start they maybe interested in them or may know a dealership that may wanna display them....... im not sure if there is any kind of powerboating museum or nostalgia racing museum that would want them and i cant imagine there is much of a collectors market but i could be wrong

Absolutely awesome.

It funny how much stayed the same over the years for the JS body and how much changed. There are no rear side sponsons, no matting on the sides of the tray or the on tray where you put your elbows. There is no bow eye hole. And where is the start and stop switch?

 

[EvanB85]

Exactly what year would those be?

 

[yamaslut]

that's like every kids dream.... awesome

 

[oxnard111]

They look like 1973's to me.

 

[oxnard111]

The that is in front looks like it has been started up, it has exhuast crap down the side. I could be wrong though

 

[Sanford]

Niiice.

IIRC, weren't these supposed to have a rivited pole? (not nut/bolt like the 74-up models)

 

[Shonuff]

I like the twenty-five degree freestyle handlebars.

...freakin' awesome. 73's the year I was born, too, but I don't look that good. I guess I should have spent my life in a barn. Nice find!

And where is the start and stop switch?

If I remember correctly, the start/stop switch was a red and green button mounted in the front of the tray.

Cool find!!!:biggrin:
