Gus who, Firko?

Gus Priem, you probably met him at the show'n'shine, he had the Royal Enfield trials bike next to your ugly Beeza.

H i people, Sorry to point out but that is not a genuine DOHC JAP it is a conversion buy a gentleman from Victoria Don Stafford who with the help of Niel Street built a couple, one of which Kevin rode a few times, if you look at cam boxes you can see the street conversion similarity, DOHC JAPS were totally different as I have one myself.  Off the topic does anyone have a phone for Ray Dole.  By the way Japs are no more expensive to run than a Jawa

Don't tell lies Mr Burkett you're not sorry at all but quietly enjoying being able to put us ignorant's in our place.
Where have you been mate I hope all is well?
By the way the Elstar project, along with a couple of others has been neglected due to work commitments and several health issues of late.
You would remember as well as anyone, did Kevin ride a 4V JAP, factory or conversion?

With respect Ian, its most certainly a genuine 4V JAP as the swapcard shown below will attest.

[Curly3]

Who's sorry now?

[firko]

Maybe this will convince you then Ian...Revs article from the time it the 4v was released. photo from Jim.

Great topic, now who is gunna pull a pic of the other conversion, I'm sure I saw it at Griffith one year-pushrod operated and rockers lubed with a grease nipple at the time (apparently to be oiled delivered later). Hoony if you want to see the 4-valver win another Aussie title let Norris put it in his Godden for the Griffith meeting in Sept. He may even help you put it together, Hoony-if he does it will stay that way ie in one piece. Let me know an I'll start workin on him, we love to see him have another ride.

Hey Pete , Now wouldn't that be a blast, # 79 on a JAP 4 Valve at the Nats !! as far as the other conversion , you're not thinking of Jim Crowhursts Kyokuto are you ?? Got a pic of that in the pits at Griffith , mid '70s.

I don't think Hoony's your man Pete...K2OOOX is the fella with the 4v JAP.

Thanks Mark not Hoony, K2000x I'm just trying to gee-up Norris, his last ride was '98 title's @ Griffith. Alan's right it would be a blast. Alan that Stafford thing you mentioned rings a bell, be nice to see a pic of it. The Kyokuto brand sounds like the dodgy generator I bought last year.

Peter I was talking to Jonesy earlier today and as well as a few other classes, he's a definite starter for the twins flat tracker class, my bike too but I don't think it's in the league of Jonesys Nourish 850 or your Yamaha. It'll be there though. Are the twins going to be pre '75 or Pre 85 regs? Sorry to hijack the JAP thread. It'd be good to see Lenny on board again. Is it a possibility?

Correct-a-mondo, i don't have a JAP engine. i just have a love for old Speedway Iron like DT500 Douglas, Rudge Jap, ESO, Jawa, Weslake, Godden, GM etc.
