The Shell OW72 shown below is in FNQ I believe. I sent the owner a couple of emails but didn't get a reply.
WANTED ENGINE PARTS for SHELL Yamaha 750. I have a Shell Yamaha 750 flat tracker here in Australia and I need engine parts including pistons, piston rings, gaskets, head gasket (85mm), cam, exhausts, Shell "slipper" piston kits. I am interested in any Shell items particularly NOS.
Please email [email protected] with what you have for sale, or know of where or who I can contact to source these itemsI remember a decade or so ago that there used to be a decent community of big twin flat trackers based around Mildura. I can recall a half dozen of them turning up to a vintage meeting there in the 90's. I met a bloke who had jigged up and was building Redline and Champion replica big frames in the area and they were quality, TIG welded items. One of the blokes regularly attends the Bonanza with his Shell / Redline Yamaha 750 so he'll have the scoop on 'who and where' of that region.
