Mugen 125 cylinder

[RED ALERT]

Just a quick eligibility question. Is an early mugen 125 reed cylinder legal for pre 75 racing or were there made too late (75-78) to qualify?

Rod - you would have to check on the particular cylinder but there is evidence that Mugen started early enough for it to comply?

The earliest Mugen reed valve cylinder i've seen was for a '76 CR125 same as Steve Wise used in '77 AMA 125 Nationals.

JO - the 72 RC125 had a reed diidn't it - was Mugen involved with Honda then - I thought 72 was about when they were starting out?

No JO is right , before 76 only "G.P" kits were available from Honda for CR125's .They weren't Mugen and they weren't reedvalved.

but Mugen started earlier than 76?

nup MM and JO are correctomundo!

According to what i've read the Mugen motorcycle division started in '76.
Noguchi was around in early the 70's..

If you can find a kit buy it anyway - for an investment!
