BlackBird, T-Rex's 680cc 741 Scout Road Racer 

Owner/Builder 'T-Rex' Hosking  
Check out another T-Rex special "Running Bird" here

By Greg Cooney, Webmaster

This is the latest Rex Hosking Road version of a racer built for the 2006 IORNZ rally Feb 2006 and is his 24th custom restoration aptly name BlackBird which is the result of a collaboration of design styles and parts use Honda forks, unknown japper rear and front hubs and brakes.

It has sports scout 45" flywheels creating 680cc without sacrificing the important barrel wall integrity. The cylinders and heads are painted with caprathane black. The frame and tanks are clearly all indian tho and the Fiat distributor and japanese alternator both look right at home too.

Hopefully Rex will enlighten us more when he gets better on the keyboard!
