nope.... keep guessing :lol:

In all fairness, it is going to be VERY difficult to see it/figure it out without ridiculous inspection of stock H2b and CR90 photos.

That said, you can see this "feature" in a couple of the photos above.

18 Inch front rim???
Tony's bike looks like it doesn't have a shifter "pedal" on the left side maybe just set up for racing or was his right hand shift ???

I see the shifter, it's shorter than stock and is set up for reverse pattern, you can see the linkage rod is running from top to top. ;)

On a related note, I thought it interesting that Denco's PN's for their 74 H2 CR kits were CR-80-1 and CR-90-1 (did CR mean Competition Race?).

And their Street Racer kits were numbered:
SR50 (S2-350)
SR60 (S3-400)
SR75 (H1-500)
SR94 (H2-750)

How about a similarly looking H1 or S-series replica, but with an SR decal in place of the CR for mildly modded bikes with just chambers, maybe larger carbs, and little or no porting?

What are the exhaust tuners on the cr80 kit? Smaller diameter inserts for a little more back pressure?

There is another goofy detail that I'll point out later. ONLY found on the CR90. And it's not the lack of a grabrail either.



Piece of cake Cody, I am hesitant about lettin da cat outta da bag here though......

I believe you are correct.
