My collection

This is my third airhead. It is my best slash 5 and a work in progress. It is a 72 R75/5 (short wheelbase). These models are also known as "toasters" due to the chrome side panels. In the U.S. you will see these with chrome side panels on the tank as well. I hope to find a toaster tank here in Oz. Here is it in pretty much the same shape as when I bought it. The previous owner said he believes it is in original condition. I'm going through it as I have time and money and bringing various parts of it into as perfect as possible condition. I've just purchased new rims and stainless steel spokes and look forward to fitting them. The old wheels will be saved for the restoration project.



This is my second airead. It is my restoration project. It is a 74 R75/5 (long wheelbase). It currerntly in pretty much the same condition as you see in this picture but I'm making progress. As I work on my third airhead, bringing it into even better condition, I take parts from the restoration bike, restore them to the condition I can afford, and fit them on the best slash 5 and keep the unrestored part for the restoration project. Sounds a bit convoluted...



This was my first airhead. It is an 85 R80. The bike is dual plugged and always runs very smoothly. I don't know if the dual plugging is responsible for this, the conversion had already been done when I bought the bike. I sold this bike to a fellow enthusiast after owning it for about 8 glorious years. The only problem I ever had with it was the alternator rotor needed replacement.
