In an interview with a motor cross publication, Village Factory Chris Heisser says the following :
"(Tin Can) was nicknamed the tin can because of the hand built aluminum gas tank.
The bike was all hand built.
We modified a stock Honda frame by cutting and welding increasing rake, decreasing trail, lowering the motor, extending swing arm, adjusting shock mount position e.t.c. once we got it where we wanted it we built a entirely new chromoly frame with the geometry we refined on the stock Honda frame.
We used much larger diameter tubing and thinner wall material for less flex and less weight.
We used disc brakes before any works bike had them.
Entirely hand built, should have worked in theory, but did not.
No flex in the frame made it feel rigid as hell.
Needed another year for R&D but also needed results now.
Ended up scraping the project getting Suzukis and I think I got fourth or fifth in the nationals that year with all the past heroes in my class.”
