looking at 96-99 gsx models and have questions

[Spimothy Leary]

yea I have the '99 :willy_nilly:

some of those after market seat covers are nice. a red/black or even a red/grey or all grey could be good

sad thing is that I can get grey for like $15 and do it myself, I already have the fabric.

or get a custom seat (no more blacktip, the last one let me down) for $100ish

I have black sheet goods turf,
i wonder if the handlebar covers from SBT fit on this model... hmmmmm (apparantly not)

hood and handlebar covers can be gotton for $90, or for $14 worth of Krylon.... hmmmm

$15 sounds like a good deal to me.

ya, but honestly, i hate doing seats with a sheet of vinyl, its a pain in the azz to get it to look right vs a precut seat cover and the multi color seats look pretty nice..., same deal with precut mats vs making your own, its just sooooo much easier.

but I bought a few yards of various colors off a canvas/vinyl shop , bought basically all their remnants for $5 a pop, and picked up about mabye 15 yards of various colors, and grey is the one color that I have a bunch left of.

that's why I just bought a WHOLE seat for mine

$75 for precut + stainless staples + a crap load of work.. OR $100 for the WHOLE seat from another 99....

tada!

You could go that route and find a red one or black or grey OEM if they made them.

Well I found another one today, will have to see if i can get it for a lot cheaper than that and without the trailer. I like The colors a lot but I also like the red and black of the 99. Well here it is: http://stcatharines.kijiji.ca/c-car...atercraft-1996-Sea-doo-GSX-W0QQAdIdZ410317269

The counter balance is lubed with motor oil. It can be serviced on the newer 787s and all the 951s. Good to do if your engine has been swamped with water. See here for more info: http://www.seadooforum.com/showthread.php?36426-Changing-Crankcase-Oil-947-951-engine

Thanks for the info :cheers:

Thats a great Idea except I wouldn't be able to stand driving that long lol! I'm sure the deals are MUCH better down there...as you can see the prices up here are nuts! I see people here on the forum getting late 90's ski's with trailers running for under 1000 thats crazy....unheard of here!

Two years ago I bought a 1995 spi with trailer for $500, last year a non running gs for $550 with a trailer. The deals are around just harder to find and when you do find them you must act fast.

I totally agree! I have seen some deals around here but not often, but when they do come around they usually go in a few hours so you better be there quick and have the cash ready! usually people who are moving out of town or something sell cheap!
