Never seen one like that before.  Would be a bit of engineering involved to do that.

The engine would almost certainly have been used for dirt track where a right side shift is an advantage. My imported DT1 flat tracker was set up for right foot shift.

OR roadracing tho not sure if the single cylinder 250 was ever used for tar. But as Firfo says-almost certainly dirt track.
That would stir them up at Napean.

Mate-if Joan toweled us up he's stretchin' the truth a bit. The onlt towelin' he did was to give us a nice rub down afterwards-as is becoming of a new passenger bitch. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

You must have failed the Naplan test EML.
It's Nepean ;D
Back then there were a lot of Japanese oil burners fitted to Slider frames, the reason being that most of the guy's who rode them also rode Jawa's, Jap's or the like and they all had brittish gearbox's.
I remember getting off my standard KX250 and onto my Hagon Jawa, going for the brake into the R/H at Nepean and finding top gear instead.
That was exciting. :o

No chance its a "works" engine? Didn't Honda build a right side shift model for Jim Pomeroy. If that were true it would be very collectable. J

 My first half dozen bikes were right hand change. Why did any body want it on the left? ???
 Like all these bloody cars with the wiper switch where the blinker should be.
 No wonder Volvo drivers are a problem  ::)  :)
cheers
