Serious question. Can anyone point me at a hub centre steer outfit raced prior to Dec '82 either initally in NZ, or anywhere at all.

So Scrivy gets Pate's outfit, Gordy gets mine, Kornhole gets Gordy's & everyone is happy? except Pate.

edit: One of the Uk guys said the first hub centre steer bike he saw racing was 1964

Renwick Konig in 1972 http://www.koniggrandprixracers.com/renwick-konig/

There's actually quite a heap of them prior to 1982

So close.. Mo said mine was finished in 1984.. he prob started building it a bit earlier..

But yes - 1976 the first LCR was built..

I thought it wouldnt be hard to find.
So Kai is only a decent air cooled engine away from a genuine pre '82 outfit?

and i'm only a burnout away from a blown radiator hose judging by the state of them..

fuel lines are also weathered and cracking. I was hoping to replace fuel lines with stainless braided shit? same with oil lines. and radiator hoses if possible (never seen em for radiator hoses tho) where do u buy that jazz from..and required fittings n so on

Peter Campbell late malboro series, Wanganui's Dicky Goodwin swung for him that year from memory. Was hoping to talk to Peter about coming over for the Cemetery circuit this year, but as things have changed guess I won't

Why? To make it even heavier? It is a race bike at the end if the day and all those grams add up.
