MOTOCROSS FENDER BRACE
Webco, Inc., offers this new polished aluminum motocross fender brace for 125-, 175-, and 250-cc Yamahas. The unit is said to be made of a super-strong alloy, and it features lightening holes and a profiled finish. It is also adaptable to most other machines of 250 cc and up, and can be used with either flat or radiused fenders. The high-style brace (part No. 2000) is ideal for motocross, enduros, desert and trail riding. Available through motorcycle dealers, it can also be obtained directly from Webco, Inc., Dept. CW-9, 218 Main St., Venice, CA 90293. Price is $13.95 (California residents add 5 percent sales tax).
NEW DUNSTALL CAFE RACER
Paul Dunstall, English high-perfor mance entrepreneur, has incorporated several design improvements in the lat est Dunstall 750 Triumph export model. A hot street-race camshaft is now fitted to the engine, along with a set of higher capacity main bearings, to augment power and reliability. For better han dling, the swinging arm has been strengthened and is also chrome plated. The improved fiberglass dual seat now has a toolbox and the fairing has been stiffened to minimize vibration of the instrument panel. Other modifications include a polished disc brake hub rather than the previous rough cast unit, chrome engine mounting plates, and a five-gallon fuel tank for long distance cruising. The machine's price remains unaltered at $1400. Because factory literature supplies no part number for that most attractive improvement of all, we must assume research and develop ment(!) are not yet completed. Those interested in the cafe racer (the one with wheels) contact Paul Dunstall Mo torcycles, Dept. CW-9, 156 Well Hall Road, London, S.E. 9 England.
TIE-DOWN STRAPS
Not only can a poorly secured motor cycle be damaged by banging around in your truck or trailer, it may cause an accident. And rather than entangle yourself in a maze of rope and twine, it's easiest and quickest to invest in several strong tie-down straps. Motad straps feature 2000 lb. tensile strength nylon webbing and a positive locking, quick release stainless steel buckle. The lightweight tie-downs are a bright or ange color and are available in 1.5-, 3and 5-yard lengths from Webco, Inc., Dept. CW-9, Box 429, Venice, CA 90291.
CYCLING SUIT
From Raven Industries, of Sioux Falls, S.D., comes a new jump suit expressly for motorcycling. Made of two-ply nylon, the Rogue cycle suit is said to be thoroughly wind and water proof while it "breathes" with the body. The Rogue allows protection from the weather but still provides for comfort and ventilation during physical exertion-just the thing for enduros, trialing and off-road stints on mountain trails. The Rogue nylon is claimed to give maximum comfort because it lets body moisture out, rather than trapping it against the skin. Designed for sport cycling in any weather, the Rogue is available in three colors, high-visibility orange, brilliant blue, and raven black. The suit also has an adjustable waist band and half-belt, three zippered pock ets, a hood, and zipper legs to accom modate boots. The Rogue is available at many cycle dealers and sporting goods dealers in five sizes from small to extra-large.
