Rogerroger, I'm not one for 'Ondas, but your bike could change my mind! That is absolutely peachy and I can't imagine what is left to do in stage 2!

Hi Graham

Forks re-plated, kevlar klutch plates, new cam chain, OKO carb(?), better mudguards, alloy airbox, titanium spindles...

Hi Gary

Either the green route at ESTC or the Peak Classic trial the following weekend. Nor sure which yet - the rocks at the Yennards scare me and that petrol tank!

Good luck Roger; If I wasn't collecting a daughter from university I'd be at Yennards to see it roll!

Thanks, schweizmeister. It will be better than me (not hard!). Engine is stroked to 230cc (I think) and plonks nicely!

Zarkoff,
Forks are standard RS200 and similar (same?) as TL - they are not fantastic, but are on my list of things to sort for Phase 2. Seeley forks are Marzocchi, same as a 200 Fantic (and never look right on a Honda, IMHO).

HondaPants,
You are shameless! Exhaust sounds great, and the RSC stickers make all the difference, I think. Many thanks for your help.

Seat pad was cut out of some thick foam with a modified jig-saw (ground the teeth off a blade - works a treat). I will see what I can do. OKO carb is on the phase 2 list, too.

You can buy blades from screwfix with no teeth to cut similar materials. (its a sharp wavy blade)

Roger, I would think about the carb , My RS runs a treat on the standard carb and i dont think you would gain much from a new one.
We held our Trial last Sunday and we had SEVEN Seeleys and TWO RS's not bad eh, and in fact a Seeley rider won the trial on TWO marks lost!!!!!!!!!!
