This page will be potos and information on the type 968 250 twinport. The following photos were taken during the rebuild. The ones below that were taken today. I bought this bike in rough condition and spent many hours and expense to bring this bike into condion. The motor was rebuild by Bertus. A new crank was needed along with a clutch and main shaft and many gears were replaced. The crank has the upgraded top end with roller bearings to fit later model pistons. It is fitted with a fourth over piston. It has a folding shifter. The frame was stripped and repainted. A new swingarm axle and bushings were installed. New wheels were built with Excel rims, CZ hubs and Buchanan SS spokes. A replica fiberglass tank is used with a custom leather hold down strap, although the original fiberglass tank goes with. I installed a electronic ignition and new side cover. It has a GP style seat with a correct looking custom cover. The handle bars are steel vintage style with Magura levers and custom Terry cables for all controls. The fenders are repo plastic but the airbox is original fiberglass. The carb is a Mikuni 32mm. The pegs are sidepipe style folding footpegs. The forks and dampers are all original as are the fork protectors. The springs are updated.The hubs are later model but I have the originals in fair condition. The headers are original, the chambers are "Pro-Form" pipes that have been ceramic coated. The shocks on the bike now are "Ohlins".
I have won many National and Regional events and Regional titles on this bike.
