The 1956 Maico KLP Special

Tony Devino had Karl Landrus build this marvelous machine. He had seen a similar machine Karl had built for another customer, and commissioned a ground up race ready Special. The motor is KLP build ported and tuned to secret sauce specs. The KLP pipe & silencer are hand built. Motor mounts are all custom made to fit the frame. Husqvarna hubs work great on this, said Karl- and I found out I could use the same brake assembly on both front and rear. The swing arm is a slightly modified BSA A-10 item and a BSA C-15 frame.

It was concieved by Karl Landrus as a multi-Nation Bike: German Engine, English Frame, Japanese Rims, but American Tank / Pipe / Silencer / Levers / Chain Guard / Mounts.

Superstar Sally is our Model - and the shoot was in mid-October, Everett Shoreline in Washington.
