Just curious hi have a friend thinking of buying a 83 240 Are any parts available in u>S. also is it legal for twin shock at natc nationals where does it fit in other vintage events?

In the US, you can contact Mike Komer at the Tryals shop who still has lots of Fantic parts even for the 240s. There must be someone in California who has most of what Bob Miller used to have.......not sure. Maybe someone can steer you in the right direction. Also, in Canada, Neil Carter is the man who still has lots of goodies too. He is the Eastern Canada Sherco importer, and his business is called Carter Cycles. He used to be the importer for Fantic in Canada.

Failing that, there are plenty of contacts in the UK listed on this site who can help you..... I am sure any of the UK guys would be more than glad to help out if you cant find it in North America. parts are fairly plentiful for these bikes!

Totaly legal for NATC , Can't ride one in Ahrma , And most clubs will let you use it whether they have a twinshock class or not . And I hate to say it but parts are where you find them ...
