motoswm Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Decided to do an air cooled mono, after spotting a frame, tank and seat for an Armstrong at this years Telford Show. With only 80 ever made, it hasn't been the most straight forward renovation, but its getting close to completion. Everything mechanical has been done and its all running and riding.....however 2 parts have eluded the search. Its missing the airbox and sump shield. I have resigned myself to the fact that both will need to be made from scratch, unless anyone out there has anything they want to sell ? If there was anyone with a complete Armstrong/Can Am mono that would be kind enough to take their bash plate off and draw round it for a pattern, I would of course be eternally grateful. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b40rt Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Martin, have you tried an TX TXR air box for size ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamferret Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 The sump shield from an Aprilia climber is a close match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motoswm Posted December 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Good idea Ross, I will ask around to see if anyone has one. I have tried SWM sumpshields, where the Armstrong is different is the front mounting point which is a lot higher up than other Rotax powered bikes. So I think fabrication is the only answer. Thanks for the suggestion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan williams Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 I had one of those badged as a CanAm. I put a front end off a Beta TR33 on it for the disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motoswm Posted February 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Project Armstrong mono update...everything complete and now ready for the final strip down and some new paint. The final part of the jigsaw was a new sump guard. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
