At the risk of starting another shite fight about forks Col, Dave Tanner has stated that as long as an evo has any OEM drum brake fork on it, it's good to go at the PC's

Looks ugly to me too. Maybe its the side covers? Why they didnt make the frame to take 80 CR plastic is a mystery to me

Its not all about the look of some bikes , some of the ugly ones may out perform ,out handle the pretty bikes out there .
I have seen some nice looking bikes out there , but they don't go or handle as good as they look.
The C&J Looks ok to me  ;) but would like a ride to see how it handles etc

I feel sorry for the armchair / keyboard experts, I have the ex Alan West / Bennett Honda C&J 500
They are one of the best late 70s early 80s Dirtbikes to ride,
Better than an Aberg / HL, miles better than TT600s
