Anybody find any pics from the FMF team hondas? I am putting together a bike with similar color scheme as the 99' era bikes that were all white for a few outdoor rounds Sheak/Volland. This brought up in conversation with some of buddys and come to find out they had never seen any of the fmf team bikes. Any pics of the old elsinores with the red powdered expansion chambers? What about some of the other badass privateer teams with a branded look while you're at it!

I found that one, but it doesn't seem quite like the FMF team bikes I remember for some reason

I like the look of Jeff Gibsons FMF/TUF Racing arenacross Honda from a year or two ago. Different era and all but I'm surprised no one has done the yellow seat up til now.

This is one that just does it for me. Pics stolen from the Honda-elsinore.com site. I have most everything to build one of these plus a few extras for the correct FMF /Ottows Werks front suspension. Missing the correct shocks and reservoir brackets though.....

I think I remember seeing that for sale on Evil bay. Those Luft reseviors with the mounts made me shiver LOL. That hand made Moto Tek mount is also pretty sweet. That ride might rank up there with the top 3 bikes I've ever seen.

This is the only tuf Honda pic, I could find with the yellow seat. I think it’s a good catchy look for ax. I was going with a 80,s blue. I may yet, blue seat with yellow tuf. Or yellow seat with red or orange tuf. if I run yellow # plates , do you think yellow seat would be too much yellow. This is for ax racing, a bit of flash isn’t a bad thing.

It was actually a proper Satellite team with help from Honda themselves.

Ill dig out some old photos but sadly they will not be quality as all my pictures were shot with those disposable cameras back then.

Sadly the 909 project never really took off. Seat covers, grips, graphics sets and handle bars n pads were about as far as it went.

Donny down-scaled on everything, including folding the Team a couple years later.

Danny gave me a bike to R&D some products. Check them 909 bars out. The bars were pretty good for the day but the grips were shit in the begining, they'd fall apart. The quality improved over time.

Picture taking inside our kitchen...24665 Moom Ave, Lomita.

Danny is a Legend.

You look like a Naai there hahahaha. Great pics bud. I remember riding now of those bikes in 98 or 99. I was really surprised how good it was compared to stock. It was night and day.

Here's a interesting picture. I drove straight from Mammoth Mountain to bring Pastrana's suspension to the first ever XGames next to the Bay Bridge. I grabbed this picture as Travis was kicking the idea of jumping into the Bay....
