Hello ,

It is not an original JP .
It has been constructed in 1976 with a JPS kit and some racing engine equipment in order to run on track .
No battery , no electrical starter , some engine improvment ( that I have to check ).

I will completely change the look and spec , we will work in order to be able to come back to origin if we want .
But at this step I would like to construct a cafe racer based on it with a lyta sprint style tank .
I will post some other pictures end of the week :)
 
Looks like an ideal basis to do whatever you want with. And you may recoup some cash buy selling the bits you don't want and thereby help others too!

Make it whatever you want I say!
 
I have a friend who also lives in the north of France.
If you want I can send your link to him? I am a bit to far away to be of anything but moral support.

Your bike does look good. Welcome to the forum.

It sounds like an interesting bike. Perhaps it has an endurance racing history ?
 
Very nice custom, I don't think anything on it is from a JPN originally.

It's possible the fairing was from a JPN, or an original factory JPN part, but it's been repainted.
