Kip - on the Vintage Flat Track site, under For Sale, there is a 78 KTM 400 listed with a bunch of other bikes under one heading. Too much $, maybe too nice for what you are looking for, but wanted to mention it. Besides, the VFTR For Sale is a fun read with lots of old and new tech!

Thanks, will check it out. This bike will be for a display machine for KRW KTM in Ohio. They were looking for a "78" as this was when they 1st started their business. Thanks again for all the help:D. Sad to say, the older bikes look far better than the new ones! More character[:p]

There were no pictures, it was just listed with other bikes in the same ad (at Vintage Flat Track "For Sale" section).

Kip - I haven't been back to VTR to look for that 78, but you probably saw THIS tired boy, right? Rode hard, put away dry. :)

I only mention it because Dan has a thread saying that he is driving to the West coast.
