forget the frame,
What about the paddock in the photo background,
Looks like a great location for a grass track

[Tim754]

Yep that paddock be in Broadford Victoria, might be just the place to build a few various motorcycle race tracks....
Hey Geoff how are your flocks of Yowies, Bunyips and Drop Bears going?

[jerry]

Great place for a race as viewed by Google Earth eh Geoff? J

[GMC]

cant wait to see one of those frames up close how generous for some one to lend you the frame to copy 

Yes it was very generous considering I kept slipping it onto the back burner.

Awesome work Geoff 

Just one question .... will the frame be $795 as listed in the article?? 

Absolutely correct Simmo, that’s exactly how much they are*







*$ 795.00 plus average 3.95% CPI from 1980 to 2013 makes them $ 2970.00 today

Is that painted , plated or bare steel Geoff ? will the arm be the same as in the first photo ? you definetly have my attention 

[Slakewell]

I forgot to thank former Boolaroo Suzuki Dealer Alan Craig who donated a set of the Kayaba Air Shox to the project, they are as rare as the Hallman frame.

There was a guy who was selling them NOS on Ebay a while ago I bought a set and there bloody nice things.

Frames are sold in bare steel

Yes the swingarm will be the same style as the Profab arm that's in the above pictures.

According to reports the SP370 cases can have a problem that was rectified in the SP/DR 400,
That said I am still using SP 370 cases in my bike.

What as the problem, rode my 400T last night and really enjoyed it, will need rebuild at some point but hopefully do a meeting or two
