Post by: tooclose racing on March 08, 2015, 01:36:31 PM

Hello Poggers - Obe Wan Ellis is building me a 76/77 MC5 175 that I'm gonna use for Post-Vint XC (Historic when I can...). He's got a nice Bing that we can use, but we also talked about a 34mm Lectron as maybe THE woods set-up with this motor. We DON'T have one of those sitting on the shelf.

Not everyone at once please...thanks for responding.

(that's gonna get me in trouble one day...)

@ James - uh yea they do and they want an arm AND a leg for new Lectrons as near as I can tell. PS - have we got a lot of racing in the NE this year or WHAT? Holy Cow.

@ Mike - thanks.

Actually - God works in mysterious ways. Could this be just what the Doctor ordered?

Why you haven't pulled the trigger on that listing yet, I don't know. I doubt if a better deal will come along, and that won't be available long if anyone else is looking for one. $100 is cheap! Mike

Thank you, ALB. I will follow up on Monday by phone, but G Ellis thinks the right needle is a 4.1 or 5.1. We will also need the air box boot for the Lectron that you have.

Let the MC5 175 special build begin! Goal is to be ready for Unadilla. :D
