Yeah that's the plan with this one firko, already got the 34mm forks and conical hub wheel fitted. Getting new tank, pipe & guards sent with it. Micheal McCook been racing this one in states for couple of yrs, so should go not too bad, more my speed these days  ::) . Found a couple of pics of a really trick looking black one getting around in US, looks wicked!

What a nice coincidence Hillsy....I spoke to McCook just before Christmas, he's a good friend who stayed at my house and rode my Maico and Kathleen Atkins TS250 at the Nepean Charity meet when he dropped in a couple of years ago. Unfortunately business pressures have forced him out of the sport, he's still got some bikes but he's slowly selling up. He's sent me the YZ250A tank I've been needing for my Hindall RT2MX build, hopefully it'll be here soon. McCooks one of the more unique people I've met in this sport ;D.
