He even missed second heat at a GP, waiting for Nicoll to get his riding shirt.
Only Nicoll gave it to some one else :|, so he got that CAMEL jersey they used.

and now you are hakan carlquist-fan, like your profile-foto??  :-)

 the decals are on my long parts list...  :wink:  if the time comes, i have to find out, who is able to make me the mxa-team kawasaki - seatcover with name ...  but first the mechanical things. i plan to use it as racebike, not only for show
. i was also thinking of making a thorpe , malin, or billy liles replica, but i´m no big friend of the 90/91 frames with the brackets on rear shock  ...  8-)

I'm just a big Fan of al OLDSCHOOL 500cc riders. When I rode the MONTE NAMUR in 04. Geboers told us about The Beer stop in 1988. That he was in his last year and everybody gave up he could win. Since than I'm a fan of Carla.

Good luck with yout build MOTOPUNK

thanks dutchie.. i try to come as close as possible to the kurt nicoll full factory look...

motopunk:
little bit progress:

fitted some honda-pegs to the frame, the subframe had a meeting with the aluminium-welder and assembled some brakes from my spares ..


now i have to build another adapter to bring the 89 caliper to the 88 forkleg  8-)

after 2 years of thoughts on this in my head, i am now on the starting line. picked up this 87 roller without tank seat and brakes at last weekend and the wrenching fun starts now to my 3. individual project:


after a little walk into my spares-room : voila looks like a bike again ..  8-)
the seat is from a 86 kx125 still with oem-cover, tank and plastics were a cheap ebay-find 2 years ago


the motor i have since last year: 88 kx500 , rode it last year in my 87 kx250 frame for testing and jetting.. 





any help you need,  just email me.....i can take detailed pictures of my bike ......   cascr500@hotmail.co.uk
