Really dig the looks of these rims so cool. Took me forever get a black set with the husqvarna spoke pattern for my FBF build !! Really dig your build I know what your going through with hunting for parts it’s like pulling teeth and searching every minute of the day for the parts . But so cool see another factory race team bike build and not another Honda nothing against the Honda builds just cool see other race bike builds. And see the other types of parts other teams used.

Wow it’s looking really good! Does the box van has an history or you bought it bare and wrapped it?

I would love to hear that bike in person!

Buying a van to go with the bike... This is a level of dedication/passion few would duplicate. Unbelievable.

I could only picture the display of both. Insane.

You are pretty low key about your efforts here. At least you shared an image of it even if its orientated incorrectly. A tip of the hat to you good sir.

It's been a long road to get the bike done 7yrs , almost sold it all off 3 times ......and toward the end the van popped up so i had to have it 😄 🤣

Pete, I believe you are the very first to acquire a period correct original factory transporter to go with your vintage factory display bike! That is just so totally cool!  It will look nice in your living room next to the bike 🤣 hahahahahaha!

So cool! The paint looks to be in perfect condition for being over 20 years old!

Do you ever take them to the track?
