I know this is a long-shot but I can only ask.
Does anybody have emails or know how I may contact former Kaw riders Jim Cooke & John Desoto & mechanics Steve Johnson & Roy Turner?
(TIA)
-
JC, pretty sure I can get John DeSoto's email addy or contact number through a US contact. I know he is back on Hawaii and this contact is supposedly close friends with John. I've just emailed him asking the question so will let you know when I get the reply.
-
ask Scott at www.vintagefactory.com. if he can help, he will.
-
would that be Scott Andersen of Texas Leith? If so this was the guy I was going to ask, met him through the TM group and same guy who built the beautiful RH68 replica from a TS250 ;)
mmm..Scott Steger, different guy..no worries I'll hound the other Scott :P
-
no Scott Steger
-
Doc,
That'd be great if you can get an email & Ph # for Desoto.
Thanks
-
still awaiting a reply John. Scott may not be online as much as I haven't seen sight of him since his '69 TS pictures were posted. I'll try again ;)
-
John, had absolutely no reply to my emails so it looks like I've come to a dead end trying to find J D's contact :-\ in the meantime did you happen to spot the 238cc F21M engine on US eBay. $150 starting bid or $500 buy it now. Pretty sure someone will swoop on it ;)
-
Thanks Doc.
Dont ya wish somebody would throw in an F21M engine w an F7 here!! Better still, an F11M engine!
BTW how do I tell if the RM100 engine is B/C model? apart from it looking like a 125B/C engine?
-
yeah, an F11M would set the cat amongst pidgeons eh ;D
as for the B/C RM100's engine number is best I guess. The B start around RM100 - 16022 and the C finishes at about RM100 - 28312. Obvious indication between B/C and N/T/X is the rear most cylinder stud size on the B and C is 8mm and on the N, T and X they be the smaller 6mm studs. Aslo the B and C model uses a bolt on inlet manifold and the N, T and X use a push-on spigot type ;)
