    The bike I just sold to a good home just took third in the evolution series. She’s barn fresh with a little work. I knew the old gal was fast. Congrats Marc

    I figured it was in the barn for 30 years. He pulled off the top and it looked like new.

    I think I have one more in a basket case (250/wr) and it’s twin in cr.

    Btw, when he removed the cylinder she has the two extra exhaust ports we talked about here.

    I apologize for the sideways image. No idea why. This is as raced last wk in RI. One more race next wk in Fanklin CT. I have tried another pair of rear springs as the stk ones are waaay tooo stiff. The one in pic are from works shocks and were too soft. Yes top end is on std piston so I bought standard ring from Vintage Husky. Main exh port and two small transfers. Both transfers were plugged up. Stk brakes,tire and tube up frt. Bike had new brakes and tire in rear,Boyesen reeds. I installed new UNI filter. Forks had fresh oil but I changed seals and modified dampening tube to slow rebound with 20w. I was bounced allover in the rocks on Sat. The engine is magic and very very fast.

    nice..what did you do to the damper rod? im interested to do something like that. did you shift the spring clip on the stock rear springs? 2 clip positions has a big effect

    I epoxied the top most hole in the rod and trimmed the plastic washers at the split so they would be round again. 20w oil. I know the rebound is slower sitting in shop but will let you know after sunday's race how they are overall.
