I didn't realize this until I found some Yoshimura literature recently but Moriwaki was Pops Yoshimura's son-in-law. Imagine my surprise....:blink:
KZ650C2 Stock/mint. Goes by "Ace".
H2A Built from a genuine basket case. Yes,it's a hot rod.
GT550A Stock/mint. Pleasant stroker.
2006 Bandit 1200S for easy LD rapid transit
Various H2 projects in the wings.

Eddie Lawson rode a Moriwaki built rocket with a hot rod MKll motor in a road race frame in the Daytona 200. I think it was the first year they allowed 4 strokes back into the 200 .
Didn't finish but it sure sounded sweet until it broke, I remember he just propped it up against a wall with a few other dead soldiers, to be picked up at the end of the race. I think Cooley and Graeme Crosby also rode Moriwaki bikes, always nice stuff.
