Hey Guys! Thanks for reviving this thread! I have been fascinated with this bike ever since I heard about it and had the chance to see one in person. This is a piece of history here!

I, for one, would be thrilled to see any pics that were saved if you have them. I'll try to recover the ones I have of Lang Hindle's bike.

Cheers!

Egli had a very similar design, but without the bend in the main tube.

Check out this cool detail I found on an Egli. Remote alternator to make the engine narrower.

Egli-Kawasaki bikes were the dominant team in World Endurance Championship back in the 70's and I think into the early 80's. They won the Bol d' Or (?) 24 hour motorcycle endurance race numerous times!!! That is the motorcycle equivalent to the 24 Hours Of LeMans for cars. Both are run on the very same circuit!!! Good old Fritz Egli and his famous frames!!!
