Looking for kawa 550 parts!

Hi guys.

I just lost a flywheel on my 550 kawa, 440, 550 and 550 reed use the same thing.

Anyone know where I can find one, local?

PS @ Patches;
You said in a previous post "If you need parts or advice Racetech, WSM performance parts,
A great mechanic in Jhb is Mathew- Extreme Custom Design".
I cant find phone numbers for these guys, dunno why they're not listed. If possible forward the contact details please.

Thanks

Re: Looking for kawa 550 parts!

Are you still using a stock handlepole? There is only one way to go and that is an aluminium one either - UMI or RRP. to make your ski Strong it is gonna be heavy and I know for flat water the lighter the better. So you are kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place unless you get a carbon fibre hull $$$$$

You ignition should not misfire unless there is a short somewhere. Salt water seems to find the smallest mistake and turns it into an annoying misfiring ski. You need to go over every wire and connection and make sure everything is watertight. Probably find it is the plug leads o plug caps.

Jimmy, Andrew and Wayde bring there stuff to me so that says something!

Re: Looking for kawa 550 parts!

I have never heard of dustin snapping any pole. The UMI is the best value for money. Super strong and does not dent like the AC

Cool no worries. Upfront is better because the credit card companies charge 6%.

Yup I did the easter fetsival it was a blast! Waves were kind of lame but it was good to be back in the surf again
