Nice work Robert!! We ended up doing a couple mods to it and used the original front fitting to add a temperature gauge, then moved the coolant input to the front side of the head. Its probably over-kill but didn't want to risk overheating the engine.

Such a beautiful bike ! the late 70's was a great era for mx...and all the change's from all the manufacturer's was a battle to be the top dog. Makes me want a Suzuki just so I can put on Moto X Fox retro graphics, lol. Again, very nice bike.

Wow how cool! I was there trackside at Hangtown 1977 the day the bike debuted. Pat lead the first moto for almost the whole race, then a radiator hose came loose and his bike slowed enough in the closing laps for [I think] Danny LaPorte to take first. Pat was so smooth. I was there to race in the amateur 250A class the day before. First-turn pile up. Got up last... worked my way up to 6th, then crashed on a jump landing... ended up 12th if I recall. Or was it worked my way up to 12th and ended up 24th? I honestly don't remember. But what a weekend, and I had no idea at the time just how cool that whole era was. Sure would love to re-live it all...
