As far as I know no one has ever done this... Starting out with Brad's old F7...  Here we go...got a mock-up started.  Machining the front hub.  The front end is coming off a Honda enduro. The only change was to remove the F7 stem and weld it into the Honda lower triple.  The swap meet in Barber yielded some goodies *************************************************** Progress on the front wheel.  |

Gee... I don't know Rick. Honda parts on a Kawasaki??  Looks like fun! You'll be able to pin the throttle most of the way around a lot of tracks!!  You'll want that baby jetted just right!  |

That looks like Derek Mitchel's old F7....
Is there a class to race a 175 in, or will he pass it off as a 125?

That's going to be a blast to ride Rick. What are you going to do for a pipe?

Thanks Ian, I've bought 3 and made a deal for a 4th parts bike. The fibre rotary valves don't hold up to racing speeds, so I'm hoping the later steel ones will be adaptable.. Rick |
