Information: I am the second owner, even though I have followed her from the beginning. Bought this bike from an old racing buddy in 1991. Pulled the race motor in May, 2002 due to valvetrain problems. Stuck an ´85 "F-series" stock motor from Canada in it for the meantime.
Frame, plastic and wheels original (although I do have spares). Added Accel coils/wires, V&H Powerpak and braided steel lines back in 1995. Also have Ohlins Shock, Race Tech Cartridge emulators in the front, Original Yoshimura Race Pipe + heavy-duty side covers. I still have the original lower and all of the original parts that I pulled off years ago.
The old race motor has too much to list.
I love this bike, and it still looks killer! Repaint it? NO WAY! How often you see an original ´87?
UPDATE 2003: Well, looks like I might be racing this one in the AFM ´04 season since the rules have recently been amended. The Super Dinosaur class now is 1987 and earlier. SWEET!
The track photos were shot at Thunderhill Park in Willows, CA.
Bike now has an old set of Marvic Magnesium wheels w/some Brembo full-floating rotors. Ohlins shock, plus some other race bits. I also sourced some parts bikes. That is where the ratty plastic and tank are from.
Update 2008: Bike ismore back to stock form. Instead of racing the 750, I raced an 1100 in 2004. Still have that bike too. Reinstalled my original dash and other original parts. Still has the ''85 motor, and that thing is STILL working. LOL! Replaced the RS-carbs with CV stockers.
