Put this Super Rat together a few years ago. Husky tank, XR200 seat and Elsie front fender and a reversed Elsie front on the rear. Chopped rear frame loop and a longer 03 Wombat swing arm. MT250 forks and an XL(?) front wheel. Snail pipe and handmade chain guide. And the speed secrets.... A Dirt Squirt cylinder (small ports let my engine guy do mondo porting). I'm sworn to secrecy about the carb info.

Super nice! And would clearly function somewhat better than standard.

Originally sold in 1973 in Burnie Tasmania!
Hope to get it looking like this one.
Anyone know if they can be registered?

Pretty much anything pre-July 1976 can be registered without too much hassle.
