Thanks for your post ツ

The tank is made of aluminium and was previously mounted on a Honda 125 street racing bike of the early 70's.
I found it in a bike workshop during my vacation in Italy 1978. The seat comes from a Yamaha TZ350 street racer.
Some modification were necessary to fit on my 500 (see picture).
... more details will follow

Welcome,
that's a real cool looking 500 Four. Would be great to see more pics from all the changes done over the years. Nice details like the rear sets (from Eckert I assume). PVM wheels? This bike is just so authentic. Any mods done to the engine?

Wilkommen.. Would in Bayern?

WildJack · « **Reply #17 on:** December 03, 2012, 09:11:53 AM »

@ 70CB750 - Thanks for the wellcome ... Prague is arround 450 miles from my town

@ andy750 - hello Andy, thx for your kind words. Yes, we have nice roads over here, but I prefer to ride in Toscana / Italy (less stress with the police).

@ MFHP - Many thanks for your compliment of my bike. More pics and technical details will be uploaded very soon ... I have to see on what forum I should post it. The seat is from a Yamaha TZ350 GP racer and the wheels are from Ronal (german brand). Engine mod with 750Four pistons (with domed piston crown) and a hot camshaft, electronic ignition system, reinforced clutch springs . . . .

@ red parmesano - Thx, it's even cold over here and already snowing

@ Picasoo -

@ 754 -

take my pardon ... what did you mean?

@754 - looool ... what a cool comment. If you have a look on my profile you might see the little town at the edge of Bayern. Now I don't know whether I have to write you in english or german $:-\$

viele Grüße

English is fine, it's my wife that lived in Munchen.. German is my Mutterzunge..
Any new bikes in the Deutsches Museum, have not been there in 15 years.
Do you know any vintage Harley racers? Harry Hacker from near you was Racing a 27 Harley, that he got from me..
