  1. I didn't realise you are a new member! Thank you anyway for all the information and I will be tuned on to your build Take care! Miguel
  2. thank you Suzuki 250! Are you running a 4" tyre? I've red that using 4" tyres is not a big difference from using 3.5" tyres, but here 3.5" tyres are not as easy to find as 4". I haven't found a complete description of all the modifications need to do to run a 4". I mean cleareance and offset issues.
  3. Great Suzuki250! It does make sense now! I was wondering how did you manage to get those parts aligned during the weld. Another way of adding strenght could have been making a few little holes on the swingarm tube to make a few spot welds to the bushing. As you know I am worried about the strenght of the swingarm. I am big and the litlle cub will have to suffer my weight!!!! Can you give me the width of the gap between tubes? You told you had a bantam swingarm which I think is wider than a street cub. Do you know the width recommended to run a 4" trial tyre? Forgive me for all my questions but I am very exited with this project! Take care Miguel
  4. Hi there! I am converting a street tiger cub into a trials bike. The bike was sittig arround the house for a decade, and never have time to start the project. After seeing a couple of tiger cub trials bike I decided to convert my street cub into a trials. First of all I want to do a quick mock up and start the engine as it is now (with the street gearbox) After that I will change the gearbox for more low end power and better climbing caracteristics. I alredy bought a mid 70's front fork from a kawasaki ke 125 and now I want to lace new rims to the existing hubs. I have a couple of questions for the more experienced here In first place I want to know if I can use a wm3 rim with the original street swing arm Second question would like to ask is the better options for front and rear rims and tyres. Will post pics of what I've got now tonight! I live in Argentina. Here is very difficult to find parts for vintage bikes, but I plan to order the more important parts (e.g electronic ignition, exhaust and carb) from europe or usa Take care! Miguel
  5. Want to say hi! I have a 61 triumph tiger cub I am converting to trials. Will post pics of the progress I made!!! Fantastic site!
