This was always my favorite looking air cooled 80. Have to thank HasletJoe for the swingarm and Jemco for the pipe.

Wow. This might be my new fave build.
Way cool. Is that a CRF swingarm?

Had one, my first real MX bike. Cal-Fab swingarm maybe?

Murphy's Law - get him some clapped out junk bits and he builds a master piece out of it. Then rides the wheel's off it.

I assume you will race this in the King of the Fire Ant Hill extravaganza....

Still have mine from racing in 81. Blew a oil seal, from the last race of year. Smoked everybody so they could not see the track. Parked it in the barn since. Great bike. Won many races on stock bike. I don't recall that swing arm?

Nice, real nice Clark!
Actually the mini's on the web are the coolest restored bikes of all!
Most were beat to death, traded for 12 packs, or bags of weed and left for dead!

Again great job! Your right, the best air cooled mini racer of all time!
