Eric,

Thanks for posting that pic of #9 on the masthead.

I was just looking at it and noticed what looks like an air intake on the front lower that I don't recall seeing on a TR before. Any ideas what that was about? It also looks like that bike has mags instead of spoked wheels. I'll need to see it I have any pictures of that bike. Was that the year he won the F750 world title and was "robbed" of it?

Scorch actually put it up for me when I pmd him. I do believe it was the year he was robbed of the title. Would have been sweet for Suzuki. The air intake was to cool the dry clutch. And I believe they were Morris Mags.
