Sad news, Graham Dyson sadly passed away last night after a short illness those who don't know Graham will no doubt have heard of Nova Engineering or even be using his products, Graham was the engineering hands on that created things like silver dream racer bike, spartons, barton phoenix and a host of tuned two stroke engines, the list is endless.

Was he the brother of Ian Dyson who made Kawasaki body kits in the UK?

RIP

Sorry to hear that Sam.
Any connection to Nova gears in the UK?

Cheers,

Very sad news Sam - Graham was a proper engineer with proper old school skills. He helped me out a lot in well, every race bike I ever built but especially with the CR750 and it's mirror image shift drum. He'll be sadly missed by many a classic racer, thoughts go out to his family. RIP Graham.
