Built by Steve. Shop in 1975-1977. Maico 400. 1974 125 CR125 Elsinore. Fork work, suspension, portwork, chamber and other mods by Steve.  At this time most suspension mods on the rear had the bottom mount for the shock on the swingarm moved up towards midpoint on the swingarm.  The results were broken swingarms, broken shocks or severely built up swingarms.   Steve had a better idea.  He called Charlie Curnett up and told him he wanted a long pair of shocks with additional travel.  He moved the upper mounts and gave Charlie the ratio of swingarm/shock travel.  The results was 7.8" travel, which at this time was a lot!  Charlie Curnett was spot on with this shock. He told me I should have a lot of sag to get the most out of it.  At this time sag was a no-no.  The results was a great working bike for this time period. Charlie was ahead of his time with this thinking! 16th Birthday. Tires, boots, hammer and money! What else could I ask for? 1971 SL125, first race bike I built in 1971.
