Is this a picture thread or a for sale thread?

87 650, shiny paint, 38mm carb, Skat SS 8/16, short cone, moved the exhaust back, other little stuff - it's a fun ski



#2 is in the works.....

Did you notest any difference when you put the freestyle pump cone in? I am doing a 750 x2 and cant deside if I should buy one or not.

89 650sx. 44mm Mikuni SBN, Solas 14-19, Factory Pipe. Under going winter rebuild now, will have a lot cooler and better mods by March :naughty:

Sorry, I wouldn't know - I didn't ride this one before I bought it and tore it apart (it needed some hull work). Comparing to my friend's stock 89 650 does me no good either with the carb/impeller/stock-exhaust-mod changes I did. It has more low end power and can catch and pull away pretty quickly at top speed but that is probably a combination of all of it.

I'll put the stock one back on next time out and see if I can tell a difference. It's still rideable here in TX...

I am building another 650 and I am going to experiment a little more with these little changes (carbs,manifolds,pipes (and drying them out), short cone, intake grates).

Thanks - it was a fun project. I rode an 87 a lot when they first came out and it was cool riding one 14 years later - "like riding a bike" - it was instantly familiar. Here is the original condition:



I also just picked up an 89 that I am starting on as a winter project.

Let me know if you test it out. I know its only 40 bucks but Budget is tight with buying a 750 and a factory pipe.

my Gf's SJ, My buddies 650, and my blue/white naked 650

on fire.....

WOW!! That needs to go on a wall, not in the water. That paint and finish is impressive.

 

[dbattersby20]

How much did that paint job cost you? Black pad on the pole would look nice though

 

[Riding The Right Way]

My first ski...

 

[Flatdeckfool]

wow another flat deck. looks good man. i like the paint and the chin pad. i did my chin pad like that on my old ski, turned out like hahaha.

 

[Flatdeckfool]

heres my theft device and a motor shot.

 

[ilovemyjetski]

Whats it like riding with a flat deck is freestyle easier? it seems like it would be hard to ride normal... maybe something i would consider doing as a winter project!

I road a 550 with a flat deck and it felt weird the first few rides but once you get the hang of it I think it feels pretty good. It was a stock 550 so didn't realy have a chance to do freestyle.
