hey Flash-Ed Hoven,a former repairman/wrecker who had a business by Mcdonalds in Hamilton was the man for those 70s commuter bits-if you could somehow track him down he may well still be.....very recently heard he was now in raglan,a gd guy to deal with and knows his bikes

Ed Hoven, now there's a name from the past! Used to race in the Round the Founders races, and the lake race I guess, had a wreckers somewhere in Te Rapa I think. Mate of mine knew him thru Varsity, goo d bloke.

hey FF-Ive only ever came across one crappy motostar at a s/h shop and it was minus the peak and very rough,looked like it really belonged in the rubbish but now looking back it could've been resprayed for decoration purposes but thats not what im looking for..........Perhaps someone will hopefully remake them to orig spec's (shape wise) but update the interior.....moto2 was a major fail aye,I thought those orig motostar's were gona be like marmite n weetbix

your so right, the moto2 was gross. i got a motostar new for my 13th birhtday...i was so happy i slept in it! want another as it'd be the ideal lid to wear on xl500s .....or an xt550 for that matter

found this one on an aussie website $60 aud presumably plus freight, not too bad i guess

that's one awe inspiring mx helmet ff and exactly how they should look-nice bold plain colours complete with the fluted sun visor,nothing today matches the cool factor those helmets ooze............if it was an XL I think id have to have it!-its pretty tidy really

[fridayflash]

yes, i agree and the vented peak is double cool! size is a bugger so i wont bother with it either. i did look at their freight options and all up it would be $95 aud..too much for a wrong size helmet eh. there must be hundreds of these things hung on nails in garages throughout this fair land
