Here's a slightly different treatment on a '76 YZ250C owned my my friend in Pennsylvania Michael McCook.

very neat, like a modern factory bike version.... I like the fact that he hasn't gone over the top with modern rims etc.

This bike should look like a dog's breakfast - but doesn't... its a mish-mash of bits that somehow work together.
The leading axle forks don't look so flash on it, but they make sense for a race bike.

It's got a bit of a late 70s CCM vibe about it, that I can't quantify.

Looks like an MX-B with an earlier tank in different colours, later forks, unusually polished engine bits, different front guard and a plate exhaust pipe.
Its no stocker!
