Build details… There are some updated pics on here, but I can’t find them, Ted?
It has a pamco ignition, banshee magneto, srecently rebuilt top end, bored over, new clutch, valve job, etc… Rear seat was cut and shortened and rear fender/pass seat area built. Shaved forks lowered, 19s front and rear. Tracker bars, shaved triple trees, dirtbike controls, rebuilt/jetted carbs. There was a leather bag under the seat, but it rubbed on the rear wheel and burnt a huge hole in it…the same day I holed a piston earlier this summer! It’s back together and very strong(and for sale)!
Thanks.

Doug- get in touch with Jim Henry, (racingjim90n@yahooDOTcom) a flat track racer who makes my adapters. They are really nice adapters and he is very helpful and easy to work with.

By adapters, do you mean spacers, or adaptors to bolt on rotor and sprocket? I love this look and would love to know how you did it. Thanks.

I did use a front wheel in the rear, but I needed adapters for both the Brake and sprocket.

Hey, the bike looks great. Did you just use a front wheel and bolt up the rear rotor to adapt? And, did you stretch out the swingarm at all? Tha bike looks long, nice lines.

I LOVE THIS BIKE. I think a vintage # plate on each side would look cool.
