      Very cool. The paint job looks familiar, reminds me of my old AHRMA days at the track.

          the paint was coppied from a Harry Molenaar WR that my buddy sold to Dale Walksler years ago, So thats why it looks famillar.

                    This is the original Molenaar bike that I was sent pics of to go from.


                    I'm shure someone here will recognize the bike and who owned it 20250718_203727.jpg 20250718_203721.jpg

                          I always love seeing your display cabinets, Robbie. It would be a nice thread to see everyone's cabinets of displayed treasures. Beautiful WR, jruff.

                            BTW the tanks came from Mike Wolfe American Pickers, rear fender is a repop and not a very good one, I made the front fender. No I don't Mike.
