    That sounds like the go, it would be good to see some photos of the first w/c 125 LEJ made and what ever else he has.
    Thanks Bryll.

    This bike looks pretty much like the one Lars-Erik got in his workshop.
    Some minor differences is it between the bikes.
    Do you know if this is a replica or if it is an early photo of his bike ?

    I think it is an early photo of the bike, not a replica !
    Was it for sale ?
    Radiator is in Honda 81 or Mugen style !

    We talked a lot about the bike and it will be one of the last things he will sell.
    Some items will newer be for sale.

    But I will post pictures of the bike and all the special parts from the days of glory when I've been there again.

    Bryll,

    Next time you speak to Lars-Erik, would you ask him if he developed the air cooled 125 engine that Roger Harvey rode in the GP's in 1977. It was special as it had a twin reed block. One into the barrel and one straight into the crank case. I'd love to know more about that bike as I borrowed it when Roger broke his leg....It went like a 250...!!!

    I just got off the phone with Lars-Erik.
    He was not involved in that one.

    This 125 is Roger Harvey's.
    I've been heard ( in that forum I think) that the LC head was a kit used in US desert races.

    Francis,
    Lars-Erik showed me the pictures you sent to him, and I had to show him this thread about his kits and the bikes built from them.
