This is the Konig that Dieter Busch built for Rolf Steinhausen, Dieter used brakes of his own manufacture, the bike in the picture posted by Ian has disc brakes. Rolf won two World Championships on this bike.

I believe that Dick Greasley's Busch Yamaha was one of the very very few left handed outfits that Busch built ?? will dig a photo of it out

[Jim Sinnott]

Think Dick was the only Brit that Dieter Busch built an outfit for

Did'nt he build the BMW outfits used by Schiedegger

[Big Tim]

Dieter Busch built a couple of BMW outfits for Dick Hawes a good few years ago, one of which is now owned by Vince Biggs. Both of them have left handed sidecars.

[Jim Sinnott]

When would they have been built Tim, is Dieter still about

[lang]

Dieter is still around and still working, in fact he is rebuilding the Konig chassis for Rolf Steinhousen, who has recently reaquired it, after selling it in the late 70s. Rolf is hoping to have it ready for Spa later this year. Dieter built Dick Hawes first B M W chassis about fifteen years ago. He did not build Fritz Schideggers chassis.

[Jim Sinnott]

Well thats put me straight Howard. Thanks
