Yetman frame for a CB 77

I am searching for a Yetman frame for a racing CB 72/77 Any information would be greatly appreciated Thanks PJ pjj@lobo.net

Now that is a great question. I know that Tim Mings has raced a Yetman framed CB77 in AHRMA events, I saw him last year at Willow Springs here in California. But, I'm not sure it it is his bike. Regardless, Tim would atleast have to be a good place to start (I don't have his e-mail but he might be listed on AHRMA's website). He is very knowledgeable on the old Honda's too...Good luck, I've often entertained the thought of building a Yetman myself. I was going to build a replica, they are primarily designed using straight tube...shouldn't be too hard.....

Thanks Gabe for the reply.

I am aware of Tim and the frame he has or had. (rumor has it that he sold it) Like you, I don't have a contact for him but I think I might have soon. It is not listed in the AHRMA email list. He didn't show up here in NM for the Sandia Classic nor did Tom Marquardt this year. (Tom also has one that Roper rode for a time.)

The Honda is not my primary focus so I probably won't go to the trouble to make a jig to replicate a Yetman, but my rider is heart broken the bike was totaled while he was the rider. He feels responsible...(he's not tho...these things happen) It would be a lot of soothing salve for him to know that the bike may live again someday...and who knows, be even more competitive.

If you hear of one I'd sure appreciate it
Best
