Currently have 2 bikes in que being restored, but I came across this beauty for $100 bucks(also included a complete ‘89 KX80), so I couldn’t resist.
It pretty rough, but has a couple weird/cool bits on it. First thing that caught my eye was the pipe, it’s a near mint OG PC Pipe. I figured that alone was worth the $100.
Also the shock isn’t standard. It has a double clicker with HS and LS clickers. The clevis is also billet and it looks to have a 16mm shaft(don’t know if that was standard or not). Any one have an idea what it is?
And for some weird reason, a single ti bolt on the head stay. LOL
It’s complete other than the airbox assy which I’m sure will be a bare to locate, but I’m looking forward to it though as Wardy was one of my hero’s as a kid. I’m planning to make it look like Wardy’s ‘85 works bike. ive searched the web pretty thoroughly , and there’s no a lot of info out there on this bikes. I did find nightmare racing and it looks like they have plastics, which is a plus. If anyone has any insight, info, mags, articles etc., it would be much appreciated. ??

The shock looks like a factory KYB unit to me. I'm going with it was a support rider who got factory parts or maybe a "practice bike" from Ward, Eddie Warren or Billy Liles possible?
Does it have frame numbers?
The seat cover graphics look like the "85" bike, but the pipe says 86.
