Are you going to keep it complete or modify it? It'd be a shame to change it, keeping it original would be the way to go in my opinion. Your bike though, up to you of course.

BAD A$$!!! A friend of mine just sold a TZ750 4 cly 2 stroke roadracer for $25,000. And a custom Spondon English aluminum frame for $5000. All on E Bay. He is currently putting the other one back on the stock frame because it's worth more. Do your research!!!

There aren't many of these out there. I've seen another one though. Here in Southern Ontario we have one back in the hands of a man who raced one!

This one belongs to Lang Hindle. He raced one at Bol D'or and all over America "back in the day"! He refers to it as a Tri-Mill as I believe that was the sponsor. I'm not sure where the name "BEHN" comes from.

Here's the finished bike at the 2012 Supershow in Mississauga, ON last January.

Drooz, do you have that guy's contact information? Might you PM me his email address? I have a few questions about the front brakes!

Thanks,

It was built at Tri-Mil Ind in Compton California for Bob Behn, My dad worked on the frame fixture and some on the motor cases , it was a full team effort to get them built and ready to send to France, and I did some small things on it also as I used to work on the weekends at TriMil
Bob Behn was ( as still is ) a very cool and smart guy , I always looked up to him
