The above beauty is Klub Kevlars NZ based social director, Mike Jolleys 'Maicosport' that he's raced on an off for a couple of decades in NZ and in it's one Aussie appearance at the '95 Barrabool Nats.
It's a cool bike but he built it out of leftovers, chopping a perfectly good Maico up to achieve the same would be a crying shame in my humble opinion Ross. Complete old Maicos will always be a better long term investment than a hot rod, no matter how competitive or well put together it may be. If you're still keen on a hot rod Honda it may be a better idea to sell the Maico to finance the components to build a good 4 stroke weapon.

Should have probably said the 73 is a complete basketcase that has been little butched

It was worth a shot Rossco! If you do decide to go the Honda 4 stroke route, would you sell the engine?

Probably not at this time, dont know as it will be sitting a fair bit longer yet but will let you know if I go that way, I havent got a pre 75 250 running at the but the way Pre 70s are heading, might have to get it going sooner rather than later
