Good luck on your search. I already have an 82' 495 and persistance paid off...I now after today also have an 81'495 in the stable. I will be doing a refurbish on the 81 in the future but it should be an easy one, this bike seems very tight....it shouldn't take much work to here it run I'm thinking. ...

I just went through the motor top and bottom, Im starting on the chassis now so it will start break in a couple weeks from now. I really dont see it flaking... call a couple places....ease your mind. Alot of vintage racers are going this route.

I know this is a REALLY old post but what a great collection of of photos and words on Brian Swink. He was such a talented rider and a pleasure to watch on a bike. I happen to have these pants that look very simular to those in some of these photos....I'll ever part with them! I really hope Brian...
