VHR photos, Z1 pro stock....wanted

That first Z1 Pro stock RC Engineering cycle that was campaigned by Vance and Hines duo in the mid 70's is owned by Mark Skehan and nowadays resides in an office as an ornament in Australia. I have pics of it when Mark purchased it and brought it over to Heathcote Park Raceway in Victoria for its maiden runs this side of the pond, plus pics of the clone of it he built with a redish/orange and black paint scheme and will post as soon as i can get access to my account on photobucket as it does'nt seem to want to recognise my password no more.

Another thing that comes to mind is that recent times he thought that Vance/Hines would maybe want to purchase it back for historical reasons only to be told [No Thanks]

bring on the pictures,must have pictures!:laugh:

Their Kaw pro Stock had titanium rods in it. Don't know if it did when they sold it. Miles would know.

Cant say about what rods it had in it but can verify that the clone run the same numbers as the original cycle plus i recall tha mark used to reel off runs identical to what Terry did on your side,apparently 3-4 of them were waiting for it at the end of the strip then Terry finished his last run and got off and they took delivery from there.

i've got one bike with some of the bells and whistles and one bike with basicly nothing special i really like the horsepower but i really get a kick out of beating guy's on my old junk as well my little bike is getting an 1197 kit this week up from the 1015 that is in it now and by the way i'm still foot shifting this one as the only modern convenince that this bike has is a two-step. i'm hoping for nines with the old girl,33 mikunis as well.

:laugh: Well finally got into my account on photobucket. this is Mark on the clone and you'll have to wait a spell as the pics of the RC Pro/Stocker are either on discs or on one of my nine puters or in between book pages of magazines so will take a day or so to locate.

Yes, it did and the dual-plug as cast heads. It was all the factory developed Lawson roadrace (J) bike parts in that bike including the frame.

I hope you are able to find them for us to see. Thank you!

I fould the one magazine with a excellent write-up on that z1. Now if I can figure how to scan & get my stupid email fixed here! :S

This thread reminded me that I have a big V&H poster somewhere of the GS. I don't remember the year, but it was after his 13th championship (if I remember correctly).

V&H started on a Kaw, didn't they?
