YARD SALE FIND!!

I was told by the guy I bought these from that the rider who wore these used to race Ascot in the 80's on an ATK with a 604cc Rotax mill in the 500cc class. Rotax made engines for everything, snowmobiles, airplanes, and the Rotax engine was a favorite of many flat track racers. U.S. made ATK's were a very popular site at race tracks back in the day. House of Handlebars was a small Mom and Pop shop that got its start in Paramount and eventually moved to Signall Hill. The shop is no longer, I'd imagine the recent economy didn't help.
