There was no tank.These are rarer then hens teeth.When this tank was found it was almost flat.The seam had to be cut out of the bottom & the tank pounded back into shape along with some extra mods to fit the additional frame mods. Brad   |

Sadly no but I am still on the hunt.It takes some serious talent to weld the tank back together as it was very thin & poor quality metal.Not my talent (I wish)but here she is.   |

That is some serious work Brad, but well worth it !! I am looking for the same drum also. So far $2000 plus for a decent repop.
Does your bike have any history?

It's kind of a bitza.Like all race bikes,the older ones got upgrades every year with newer parts & ideas. This one was raced at Daytona by Hughes Racing.With frame mods,TD2 front,& Td2 carbs. Here is the front end.If you look close at the last pic you will see the swing arm is a spondon with tapered roller bearings.I have the original swing arm also.  |

I think I have the old Suzuki style hub and drum here at the house if that will work for you...

Left is the proper rear wheel and I will be using this front (right)until I find the original front.  |

Chuck Huneycutt was building this TD1 at the Barber restoration shop when we were there in 2014.   |

Sweet bike for sure Jim.Mines just a bitza so not really worth restoring.Therefore she will be returned to track duty.
