Here are 2 photos from Dirttrack bikes.
Very special for me the Hagon (#90) with Jawa engine.
Just note the 2 high mounted shocks directly under the seat.
This type of Hagon was never used in European grass- and longtracks and Mr Hagon informed me that this type was made specialy for the Australians.
Is there maybe some information about these bikes or maybe a good photo.

I don't know much about the Hagon cantilever but the owner's Greg Clarke who was one of the early era vintage racers with a couple of nice CZ's and a swag of dirt track sliders, nearly all Jawa powered. He moved from Sydney to Port Macquarie back in the 90's to be near a good school that specialises in care for his little girl with Downs Syndrome. Greg's a good bloke and I'll bet he's still got much of his tackle. I know a bloke who's still in contact with Greg so I'll see if I can find out about the Hagon Cantilever.

So it is, Greg Clarke, great bloke and he certainly had a good collection of Jawa stuff and it was always well looked after.
I haven't seen him for years so if you get in touch with him Mark say g'day for me.
