Just wanted to show some photos of the TY 175 I got in 1979 which was one of the originally converted to Majesty 200 by John Shirt in Derbyshire, as part of the conversion the frames were nylon/plastic coated, the bottom of the frame was chopped and replaced with an aluminium bash plate, rear shockers were laid forward and the original shock absorber was replaced by gas girlings and engine bored out to 200cc I believe they used a TY 250 piston and base plate. Last year I decided to give it a spruce up, I am hoping to show the bike however not sure where to do this, has anyone got any suggestions?

Hi, I have a majesty 200 I got it originally as the TY175 and took it to John Shirt for the modifications into a Majesty 200. A number of people have shown me bikes as majestys which are not actually majestys I think there is some confusion surrounding the modified majesty bikes. The genuine frame for 200 Majesty (also 250 and 320 I believe) were all plastic/nylon coated and this coating can not be sand blasted off or nitromorsed, the only way to remove it is to cut it off or burn it off.If you drop on a frame with this coating you know it is an original.
