    Sad story

    Were you able to identify your source for the bike? Are you facing possible charges for possessing stolen property?
  2. You might need to certify financial responsibility for that one unless you can find an insurance company that will cover it. I had to do that for a Scorpa.
  3. https://ircmoto.com/products/trial-winner-tr-011-tourist
  4. I had one. If you have some questions that you cant find answers for on the internet I'll try to answer them, and yes you need to post your location if you want to know about availibility.
  5. Back in the day the local Bultaco dealer turned and relined the drums without removing the rim. I think he even did it with a tire in place.

    TRS e-start

    If you're still wondering, yes it's true. When I got my 2020 250 I rode with a friend that had the previous year 250. We swapped bikes and both noticed the difference in flywheel effect. It was a small difference and neither of us thought it was a big deal, it just required a small adjustment by the rider.
  7. As long as they work for you that's all that matters. Personally I'm not a fan of putting non period correct parts on vintage bikes so i wouldn't do it either.
  8. You can buy high strength 428 racing chain that probably exceeds the strength of low grade 520. Look up manufacturers specs online. And TY mono forks are an ENORMOUS improvement over TY175 forks.
  9. That engine case is from a Sherpa Scrambler 125, 68-69 vintage.
  10. I remember sometimes putting my thumb over the overflow hole on the side of the tickler to raise the fuel level even higher in the carb, don't recall which bike(s) I used that trick on.
  11. Where are you located?
  12. I see it now. It was the old style clutch rod adjuster that was fooling me, I'd forgotten about those.
  13. Bear in mind that e bikes are different and require e bike skills. Not to argue your point, but to expect a gas bike rider to jump off his bike onto an e bike and ride up to his gas bike level is unrealistic. In the near future we will see e bike specialists who can ride at very high levels. Kuroyama may be one, he was a top level bicycle and gas bike rider and I believe will be Yamaha's top e bike rider.
  14. You're right, that looks like a bottom pivot kick lever on the original. I've never seen anything like that.
  15. Lokks like a later style rear rim, passenger pegs are a nice touch.
  16. You can certainly learn to negotiate such obstacles but the technique will be somewhat different/modified, so I would say rather than getting hung up on conventional techniques learn to adapt them to your equipment. It can certainly be done. A seat is generally more of a hindrance for turns and descents than climbs.

    Foot pegs

    Those don't look like they'ii fit any Bultaco peg mount I ever saw.
  18. I think 7 years is a lifetime in e bike years. I would'nt consider it unless it's real cheap and/or I was a tinkerer wanting to buy a bike to update/modify.
  19. You could look at it two ways. You could get the clutch model and ride it more likeyour KTM, or you could go clutchless and rideit more like your MTB.
  20. Are you saying the tank was originally porous and lined with another product?
  21. Forget about an MSO. You'll need to follow your states rules.
  22. Assuming you're working on a Sherpa T, I think modern pegs in the original high mounts would look hideous. Pursang/Frontera pegs will fit and look original. I just looked at your earlier posts. Modern, thicker, gaskets in stead of the original paper type, will help with weld clearance on your cases, you may still need to do some grinding though.
  23. When inspecting gears focus on the dogs on the sides of the gear and the surfaces they engage on adjacent gears.
  24. There are numerous versions of this tool available. https://www.motionpro.com/product/08-0472
