550 fanner

Alive?

Is it finished? Does it run? let us know. We have a 550 skandic at work that is going to the auction block because everything but the motor and clutches are wore out. I can get it for next to nothing. Give us an update.

hopefully goes as good as it sounds in the shop! will be at shreiber medows sunday tuning/ (hopefully flying!) not to float my boat, but it's SWEET! didn't have time to finish as many of the parts as I wanted to but o' well time to wrench less and ride more! see u all at hawkfest. maybe some of u guys can show me how these hawks are meant to be ridden, only been on mine twice!
like a kid in a candy store! (just a little stoked!)

if you ever here that phrase check with someone else! really went pretty smoothly, considering I havn't ever owned a snowanything before well......2moto kit. the only real hangups are the reed cages, not enough room!
but now the work is done. I would happily help out if anyone is interested in doing this conversion. need to cut down 503 or get 6 or 800 bulkhead and lower steering support. notch frame for cage clearance, this is the part which sucks. if you look at my previous pics I had to remove allot of material. I don't have a problem with that, some others might. backed it up with 1/4" plate.
will give feedback after my sunday maiden voyage!

great day on the mountain!

machine runs great, now need to learn how to ride it. motor runs really well, has more power and sounds really cool! I havn't spent very much time on 503 to give a good judgement on the difference so i'll leave it up to some veteren hawkers. after hawkfest there will be plenty that have taken it for a spin.
props to everyone that came up from seattle area today, nice ride you guys are great riders.
if you decide to make a bar mount like mine make it strong and gusset the stem really well, mine took good shot, (along with my head) bent it good.
SNOWHAWKS ARE COOL!
