1973 Speedway Spyder, just finished!

#4
The bike was restored with all original and NOS parts. The rims are 16 back 17 front, the engine is the original Sachs 125. This is the bike that won the Minibike Nationals in 1973.

I am just about done with my next Speedway restoration, a 1973 Seedway Moto-Cross. This bike had a Fuji 100 on it

When I got the bike it was in rough shape, but all there. The back bone was bent by the neck which caused the forks to be racked out like a chopper. The original exhaust pipe was cut up and re-routed through the frame.
 
#10
I am not sure why they went with a drop pipe in 1973, it definitely would be easy to damage with first big rock or rut. If you look at other bike from that error, it was the trend.
