I joined the forum for info and help for a project bike I recently purchased.
It's bike #171 in this photo.
I bought it from Kevin Brennan, it was raced by Kevin in Victoria in the mid 70's then fitted with a DT charge kit, lights and street registered and ridden on the road in Qld for a few months in 1979 then in 1980 it was covered with a tarp and not touched until I bought it 4 weeks ago. The pipe was removed and the cylinder and rings looked clean so we put fuel in it, gave it a few kicks and away it went after 36 years.
I have already started restoring it and need only a stock silencer and sprocket cover to complete it.
