come on dano sturr up some old memory's
andto 3 wheeler world!! glad you joined us!!
the first ones were sectional hand built. but we had them stamped soon after. the stamped one looked stock. i think the stamped pipe was better. and stronger. just not as trick looking. i will look for a close up pic , in the next week or so. ufo made everything that was plastic for the tri-z . not sure about the air box. why would u run an after market box?

it was a re- locator box to mount a filter down buy the carb.. I would think to use with the klem top mount tank... a member here has one

did that pipe have the heat sheild on it?
i never used ufo plastics, the stock plastics were better. (and free). i did run the srp fiber glass lowered rear fender. (short course). danny built a tank out of a 6" aluminum irrigation pipe. sometimes we didnt run an air box . just a k&n off the carb..
no heat shield.

Sorry Brett, didn't mean to hi-jack your thread. Danny was (and I am sure is still is) fast and fearless, had lots of fun both on and off the track.
Hi Danny, small world isn't it. TJSB1 is short for Tim Jordan (snow bike one). We raced Tri-Z's back in the day. Man it has been awhile. Last time we talked you were in McCall looking at sleds but that was like six years ago I think. Hows it going?
Moved recently to Portland from McCall. Got tired of snow for six months of the year, now I get rain for 8 months. Sold the rights to my snow bike patent and I am trying to trade snow for sand and go play in the dunes. What are you up to these days?
PM me some time and I will send you my contact info.

i was pinned wide open , when i went over the bars. then harry mcdermont (i think) ran over me . my helmet crushed his pipe. thanks for the pic. .. raffa srp (sundahl race products). made those for yam and hondas. they were bitchin
sundahl is about 50. i heard he just over-alled a atv desert race here near el centro.wow! it would have made me crazy if a 40-50 year old would have smoked me when i was in my 20s...

It sure sounds much better now doesn't it? You ought to get out somewhere and race something and get your licks in while you can. I race Vintage MX on old dirt bikes from the '70's (Hodaka's) and Post Vintage MX on bikes from the early '80's (Yamaha's with drum brakes) and I get to race against all ages. Whipping up on the young'ins is fun but getting beat by some of these older than me guys, some of them now 60 still sucksThats cool about Dean.
