Stumbled across this article on the Motorcycle Hall of Fame's website, it's really interesting! The article is written by Arthur Kowitz who describes his bike as "the leading edge of yesterday's technology." I'm not sure if he's a member on here, but if anyone knows him, please encourage him to join if he hasn't already!

Welcome Arthur! Glad you joined the dark side.

Feel free to write an extremely detailed build thread covering the last 35 years when you get the chance [I kid!]. :P

not bad i'd say :)

who was doing the riding?

I think Edwin races mostly in NoCal, thunderhill and inifineon, maybe he did ahrma rounds when they were held there.

when I was building my GPZ750 racer for the italian vintage championship i managed to get in contact with Mike Wymer who worked with Muzzy on the lawson/rainey bikes. He gave me quite interesting tips, who knows, he might have interesting info for you too (even if it looks like you know what you are doing ;) )

He tunes now modern stuff so no interest conflicts.....
