    yip, and it will have needed three big ends since then, and countless re shims, still got the scars on my hands from shimming my bevel nearly thirty years ago

    Nice original example here. I always find it odd - the seller lists a couple of cheap easy fix issues (fuel tap, tyres) - just fix them before selling!

    The main petcock gasket is readily available for about 20 bucks, all seals can be sourced too. The repair kit as a complete unit is no longer available from normal sources though I know a couple of people who have mountains of NOS triple bits incl these

    I never said partzilla had them available, read my post. I do know where to get them from, apart from ebay. Plus I probably have more Kawa triples and NOS parts than anyone else in NZ, I was merely trying to help and encourage as I never sell my triple stuff (occasionally give it away but never sell)

    It's funny - the old sporty bikes of that era all had a hunched down in the back look about them - now days it's reversed completely.

    There was no traction then, and frames flexed a lot. Straight lines were the easiest way to shorten lap times.

    the front wheel was usually a couple of inches bigger then so was always going to look that way

    Nothing wrong with the price. But if those stickers were postage stamps, bet you could ship it around the globe... twice!

    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.
