Well DOT whatever it was Bryan but I meant glycol based rather than mineral like Citroen were using. Or some other fluid.

By the way the fastest colour 400 (well 460) was a white one ... Mocheck Harrier  :) :)

Very true, very nice bikes as well. I followed one on eBay a couple of years ago. It had CR carbs fitted as well. The owner was honest enough to tell me the motor had some problems though, namely smoking really badly. Considering these were 460’s an oversized piston kit wasn't an option so it would have been a case of finding another barrel to bore out and assuming the pistons were still ok (and probably a new set of rings if they could be found). I think it was sold in the end after appearing on eBay a couple of times but stripped of a few things , the CR carbs being one of them.

AshimotoK0:
Anyone remember 'Project Dole Racer' .. a magazine build around 1986 of a 400 on a budget in the style based loosely on the Mocheck Harrier?
It must have been broken for spares as I saw bits of it being sold on eBay a few years back.

I don't remember that bike Ash but I like the exhaust arrangement. That would be a good basis of a special today had it survived.
