Does this look a bit like the TZ 750 flattrack bikes ?
« on: July 21, 2018, 04:07:53 PM »
This is what I want to run on my streetracker..
 I want to a certain extent look like the fours that did run on the tracks before they banned them..
 Anyway here's a peek at what I have, I will have to make adaptors..

Frank, tz750 was a yamaha square four 2 stroke, and guessing it ran lectrons as usual for Kenny Roberts...

are you thinking of the cb750 that Bubba Probert (think that was his name?) ran?

The TZ was an inline 4. And most used Mikuni's.

Yeah it was a straight 4, they ran , I just want the row of big honking K&N  filters look as a nod to the fours that raced before the ban.

Dennis (OldScrambler) and I were among the first to lay eyes on the red bike when it was unveiled in 09 at the Bonneville GP show. I am hoping the K &N won't droop  like this..

Hi Sean,

Bubba Shobert rode an RS750 V-twin race bike, it was not a CB750
