whichever way you look at it, thats one clean Horny bike 8)

Boring as bat shit, what it needs are Simons forks, nice swingarm, Fox Shox etc. I would like to rat it for the original Suzuki bolts.

Marc Marc Marc ::) while your special will be a lovley bike when finished , that is a beautifull example of a true classic 8)
How is the special coming on ;) will you be lining it up at easter ???

I had a look at this one - thinking the 370 maybe the weapon of choice for pre 78 - then saw the price - and it hasn't made reserve. Nice bike all the same. Is there much difference between the A and B?

The B has a box section swingarm and remote reservoir shocks and the A has a round section swingarm and no reservoirs. The B also has different porting to the A and the fuel tanks are different at the filler with the A having the filler hole in the centre of the tank and the B offset to the right.

Nice, doing a great job, but it looks like a combination pre75 pre 78 works bike is that what you are trying to acheive.

With that (very nice) pipe and front guard combo, this is going to be Marc's flat-track weapon...left-hand circuits only of course... ;D

Your dead right Bill, 370 is true classic, 300-350 I think is the optimum size for a 2 stroke. The RM370 ruled in NZ and if you wanted to win that was what you were on.
To answer the other question asked, B and A have different forks, tank and some detail stuff. with the 370 what Roger rode on Sunday you could buy on Monday. ;D

You on the saki again marc?

Obviously... the A & B forks are the same, it's the swingarms that are different.
Too many saki's and the front looks like the back :)
-
Yor touching a bike with the ugly stick again marc......we've had this conversation before.....
-
Are A & B forks the same? I reckon there are a couple of subtle differences, I have 3 sets here, and one is different to the other two.

thanks for asking Ross, yeah my back and elbow are little bruised together with my pride/
as for the German, sent him packing as well, he may think he is a god but like most Aussies and Kiwis I take don't lie down to get kicked.
-
just do what i do when my german sister in law arcs up -who won the last 2 times ;D
-
I'll have a decent look and let you know the differences, I'm sure it something to do with the axles and or axle mounts.

According to the parts book the LH fork on A & B is the same but the RH lower is different because the axle screws into the fork on the A and the B has an external axle nut. Visually they look the same otherwise.
-
That's it Johnny O, I knew there was something different. Subtle, but definately model specific.
Cheers,

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LIKE-NEW-Have-Title-Owner-One-Manual-/110633412288?pt=US_motorcycles&hash=item19c243e6c0
Purchased from fifty something year old gentlemen who raced as a youngster and had informed me that his father owned a SUZUKI SHOP growing up. He also mentioned that he had bought the bike from his best friend and provided me with the California Title that still bears the original owners name along with the original owners manual in a very matter of fact way after I paid him...This one is as nice of a vintage MX Bike that I have ever seen...and I just came back from the Vintage Motorcycle Auction at the South Point Hotel & Casio that is going on right now in Las Vegas. In short, this bike appears to be right out of the wrapper, the engine is tight and everything works and runs like new. I was told that it had a plastic desert tank on it during the years that it was used...so the original tank that is pictured on it still bears the original paint, has no "ZERO" dents...just a couple little, tiny, tiny barely noticeable surface scratches and one minuscule scratch in one of the vinyl letter,notice that it still has the factory fuel mixture sticker on it. All plastic fenders, number plate and side cover are original too and show minor degradation or discoloring that speaks to its' originality. This thing is cherry pie sweet and ready to go to the race track or wherever you decide to point and shoot it. I'll let the pictures tell the story, so please don't bother me with a bunch of silly questions....Note: the frame number matches title and engine case number is different but should not matter on this one, as I have more that 20 Vintage Motocross Bikes and this is by far one of the nicest original and unrestored and unmolested examples that I have ever come across.
