| RACE KIT included the following
parts:
Meggas, Seat, Wiring Harness, Ex Pipes, Tacho, Starter cover, Alternator replacement, Cam chain adjuster, sprockets, pistons, carburettor, camshaft, coil, spark plugs, shocks, handlebars, brake vent, tyres, footrests, and wired nuts and bolts.
Red race kit seat were available
certainly in the US. The red seats were smooth and soft,
unlike the suede-like tops on the black ones, but still heat
pleated. There were at least two distinct varieties of racing
megaphones...maybe up to four, main differences were the
length. It is sometimes suggested that the Alloy cylinder was
available as a race kit part, this is not thought to be correct, and
from
what I can tell this part only became available in 1964. A 150cc
conversion was available (see advert elswhere) as was scrambles type sump
guard and handlebars. Not every race kit part was shown in the shop manual, or any
one catalogue. For example it is thought DID triangle Alloy rims
were also available but also not shown in the UK parts books.
Any information about race kit parts is always welcome |
