Vintage Gene Berg linkage in original blue paint. Notice the original decal, showing their earlier address on Lemon Street (versus Lime Street, where they are now located).
You can also see my Speedwell linkage (see photo below on my 2110), which clearly inspired Berg in his design. Notice the crude triangular side plates, supporting the main throttle cable arm.
My linkage came with a cool story: apparently, it was bought off of Gene Berg in the late ’60s/early 70s and used on an off road race car, having run in several Baja 1000 races. It was eventually sold to me by the nephew of the original owner.
