a 1974 Sawakaki pig horn i needed another one

its very barn fresh been sitting since 84

Hey cxman, nice score! That one looks really complete. A lot nicer than the one I bought. ;D

The Big Horn is getting a little rare and are becoming highly sought after.

Where are you getting these????

eBay mang... just punch in Redkap lot. The jackets and shirts are blems but really are unused with patches removed and I found a small fabric defect on one of the jackets but you really have to look hard to find it.

About $100 bucks for all so average $10ea. Working on 4 pairs of grey fire resistant shop pants now and I'll be set

I always wanted one of these but I remember them being green and having a front fork that you could adjust the trail on, am I thinking of a different year or do I have the models confused.

I just found this, which explains it all and you might find interesting.

Yup, that was my plan. I got, um, ah... derailed. : I was building a street racer much like the road racer outlined in that article. It would make a sweet street machine.

Too many 'irons in the fire' caused me to bail on that one. I'm sticking to one project at a time now.

I think you otta get after that Big Horn tho C and C! 8)

I think I have a seat for one of those, in pretty good shape sitting in the rafters of my shop

I like the heads on those bolts. BMW uses a non-Ti version on their output shaft.

Got em for the KZ1R front end, really only double what a hardware would sell a steel cap bolt for and less than Suzuki wants for fresh new bolts @ 3.40ea.

That's sweet. Got a link to buy?

Nick, it was an eBay score. I just looked on there and didn't see it. I'm sure I have a link on the desktop at the house. I'll get it to ya when I get back in town Thursday.

This is the one I bought. Works great. Not quite as nice as the one posted here but it has hash marks etched into it for measuring.

Just purchased a Gunson Colortune. A site member just made me familar with this tool. Takes the guess work out of carb tuning. I've spent too long trying to tune my carbs perfectly. Check out the vid below.
