Yeah Baby.
My money is on that with Chris on board.
Check out the droop on the footrest, would it be legal if I put something similar ( not 1/2 as long ) on my DR500 Dirt Tracker for EVO & pre 85?
I can't get my body around Sliding a bike with my right leg tucked up.

Not sure about any video, but there's some stills around of Watto on it at Tamworth or Muswellbrook . I'll have a yarn to Fotohound and see what he can come up with.

Ola the v twin went into production  early to mid '80's i think?? In there somewhere any way matcho mick posted on vintage track pge. 11 mar. 2009 subject,.. longtrack some info on the big twin.and a couple of pics. S'pose Watto would be the one to ask about a comparison.   mark.

Without trying to hijack your topic Foss or get too techo.
That footrest obviosly swings up, but do they also have to fold back?
We've gone from Daves Beeza to Daves Godden to Vee Twin Godden to Harley Flatracker to Footrests without upsetting anyone.
Are us Dirt Trackers setting an example

Hey, Slides
Mate,  as long as it's about Dirt Track , Long Track , Speedway, two or three wheels, I don't care what subject we spin off to.
Ya footrest ,
On me Elstar I did make me swinging footrest fold as well as swing , cos I used to clout  the right hander at Griffith when it didnt fold !!
So, a little bit of shed engineering and away ya go !!

 Show some class Slides,.... are WE dirt trackers setting an example

[Curly3]

I've bin thinking about making up something for a while, my wife said I only need an extra 3" of droop  and funnily enough, I hardly use the back brake as it is, Speedway upbringing.
