Vintage Racing

Well, I can't stay away from the KZs it seems. I just bought this bad boy (pictured with the previous owner) and will be racing in the Vintage Road Racing Association (VRRA) next season. I asked for, and got, plate #519 to represent my area.



I also got my leathers back from repair (and a little more) :lol:
At least they'll know who I am when I pass them.....



Anybody else here race in the VRRA?

I got John Bickle at bickleracing.com/ to put the new front zipper in and sew the name on. He does great work, is well priced, and, used to race himself so he knows his stuff. I would highly recommend him. Great guy to deal with.

Bomb, Im pretty sorted with the stuff i need to finish the build, but leads to stuff like 31mm Keihin CR's, race cams, light 18" wheels, race calipers and the such are always welcome ;)

I have a basic Sebring 4 into 1 system, it's a bit rough, so ideallly would like to find a Kerker or Yoshi for it. Cosmetic condition doesnt really matter, must be usable though

Here in italy Kerker abd Yoshy just doesnt exist, so I might use at the end a local Marving, they are pretty nice too.
