Rocketman.  ::)I see your photos about the Sr100, looks to me a big project, but those bikes are really getting hard to find, In the photo with the engine on the floor, that are the brackets that are bolted onto top engine mounts?

There are a few guys on the board who have SR's

Hi Sam! The brackets on top the motor are not to the bike. Right before I stopped riding it due to lack of replacement parts,we put the engine in a Tora 60 frame. Hillclimbing is a"different" sport. It has changed somewhat from days gone by in that the hills are more rugged motocross type terrain now and not the well groomed smooth speed hills of the past. The low slung lightweight Tora frame seemed a good fit at first. Upon testing we discovered the SR engine was just way too much for the small frame. It twisted around like a pretzel. The mounts are for the Tora.

I wish the quality of this one was better. If I can pry the original from my father,I will re-post it. There should be others,I'm on him! Mark.
