? Pic of bikes with ski's and tracks??

Did someone here just recently post some pictures of 70's bikes that had a ski on the front end and a track system on the rear, like a snowmobile?

If not posted here but you know what I'm talking about let me know. I remember some company in the 70's came out with these kits.

Thanks

I have an old "Cycle" magazine with an article about those. The artical has a '74 or '75 Z1, a CB750K and a H2, I think.

I'll try to scan it when I get home.

When I was a kid my aunt and uncle had one in the garage. My cousin called it a snow cat (obviously not like the big ones we know of now). I recall it looking relatively small (a bit bigger than a moped) with a narrow track on back. I want to say to say it was orange. I only saw it once or twice and never saw it out of the garage but I want to say it was a factory job and not a modified bike.

OK, I found the magazine. Turned out to be the February 1974 issue of "Cycle Guide." I'm trying to upload them into my photobucket album. I'll try to figure out how to link to it because the files are too big to post here and still be legible.

Later, Doug

The link should work. Sorry that some of the images are upside down. I haven't figured out how to save edits in Photobucket and it took forever to uplaod the images so I didn't want to do it all over again.

Later, Doug
