Very cool! I had a 'Cuda that used to fly in damp weather. I mean it was fast all the time for a car(340 w/six pack carbs) but the weather did affect it. So....I guess I can believe the Salt Air theory. I couldn't find any supporting evidence on the net though.

 

is the black one a klx FM? i love them in black but have only seen them for the motard ones.

 

Yes Sir, that is my street legal sand scooter

She ain't stock thou

 

plastics arent stock? looks nice bro.

 

I will say this, I did not let it completely wind all the way out in 6th and I was right on 90, I really think it had more to go but am not that familiar with this area and the Police tend to hide in places and give more tickes for speeding than I have ever seen, mostly on the main highways. I was behing the Port and it was a long stretch but I did not let it go it had more in it was very stable since there was little wind. I do believe Finger Mullet, something is making this baby want to fly in Florida. I know if I had the stock rear sprocket on it and do not remember what size that was it would surely push 100? I said I was running a 47 rear but it may be a 48. I did notice when I removed the rear tire that nothing larger would fit because of the chain guide.

 

You are right finger, I was pulled over in KY after tricking mine out and the Police were just scratching their heads. Asked me if I had gotten it licensed there and I told them that sure I did and it was a street legal bike and if they did not mind the next time they see me, please just leave me alone and not a one ever bothered me again. Once tricked they are not truely street legal but as long as you have a tag on it and the papers, unless they know the law to a T, you can get by with just about anything.

 

Nah, not stock. When I bought her new she was a standard green 06 klx with the big dorky blinkers, tail light and 10lb headlight/instrument setup. After two years of flogging by me and a beating by the florida sun.....the plastics were shot. Replacement stock kawi plastic is big $$$ so I searched for alternatives.....because I will have to replace the plastic again.

Here's what I decided upon.
klx300 black plastic tank (3/4 gal bigger than stock and much lighter)
Maier klx300 rad shrouds
Maier klx300 side panels & rear fender (left side panel needed a little heat gun action, no biggie)
Baja Designs Hid ready headlight and led tail light
Guts racing high seat with black cover (best mod)
Vapor instrument thing (way lighter)

Now I got cheap plastic to replace when I need to.

Edit Opps I forgot....Arcebis kx250 front fender.

 

Salt Air theory. Reminds me of the thread about "Drop Bears"

 

roflmao ... about time

 

Finger, I'm sure it's on here somewhere, but does all that 300 stuff fit up nicely on the 250? And, roughly, what do the after market klx300 pcs cost, esp the rad guards?
Thanks.
