Twinshock

Looking for some higher bars on my Majesty 175. Currently it has the 4.5" Domino's that I bought it with. They're too low for my 6'2" frame I want at least some new bars with 6" lift. Is it only Renthal that make 6" bars or does anybody else? Were bars higher than 6" in the 70/80's or is it my imagination? Can you get 'Vintage Bend'???

Anyone had any experence decoking/repacking the exhaust on an Ossa mar 1976? mine appears to have had some work at some stage as both boxes have been cut all the way around and then welded back up. Is this the best way to do it? will the perforated tubes come out attached to one end only?

I know that because of my vast lack of knowledge I might get beat up on this one.It seems to me that the best and most reliable twin shock to grow old with would be a finely modded TY175 bored to a 200.It has to be one of the cheapest to keep up to snuff and easiest to handle as age creeps in to the bones. The weather is rotten here,I,m waiting on parts and bored so I thought I,d try to stir up a topic.

Does anybody have a contact for Betor Shock Servicing and/or supply of heavier rated springs?

does anybody know when entries are available for 2009

Hi there! I've got the above mentioned bike in what I believe to be classic Ossa green, it's still running, just needs a bit of a clean-up; I've got the original handbook, MOT certificates from the 70s and, obviously, the registration document - I'm only its second owner. I've decided it's time for the old girl and I to part ways but don't have much idea of how much to charge for her; I've tried to have a look around to see how much they're going for but she must be rarer than I thought as I can't find one for sale! Can anyone give me a ballpark figure at all? Thanks guys!

Better put the Kettle back on or Open another Bottle. Trolling the net. Regardez ici..! Motosinge83

My 'new to me' SWM TL320 came with a 'fast action' Domina throttle assembly going by the receipt, is there really a noticeable riding difference between fast and slow actions or marketing hype? cheers guys PS I think I need a slow action...I'm white section std

What inner tube is recommended for rear fitment with a radial tire? I used to get a Michelin tube marked as Special Trials 4.00R18, but I can't find them anymore.

Yesterday I managed to road register my Majesty 175 Yamaha Twinshock. It's a 1982 model and when I bought it last year, it was unregistered. This year I decided to embark on getting it done on an 'age related' UK 'X' plate. It has been pretty simple really............ Firstly I spoke to John Shirt jnr @ Gas Gas UK, whose father created the Godden framed Majesty (which my model is) and he arranged for his father to send me a 'dating certificate' for the bike from their records,confirming the year of manufacture as Jan 1982. This was a great help. Next .........I did a bit of work to get it to MOT standard on the brakes(bearings were ok and so were forks/shocks) and f…

My KT250 needs to have the under-engine frame rails pounded back away from touching the engine. Again. I'm very tempted to just cut them out and go with an aluminum plate shield instead. What's the usual thickness and material used for this application? 3/16"/4-5mm and 6061-T6? Is there a bit of air space left between the plate and engine or do you run a sheet of conveyor belting or something similar in there to add some additional cushion? cheers, Michael

. Yes, this Montesa really is out to get me and trying my patience big-time! The cases required some gentle tapping to separate the crank and bearings (as expected) but a lump of rust on the bearing has left a nice gauge as can be seen, and there

How easy is it to fit a C15 rear shinging arm to a Cub? Or another way to change the rear end to take a 400 tyre.. Thanks

Thought my trials riding friends across the pond and elsewhere would like to take a look at the new Hodaka Type 2 Trials machine. Just finished 'er up this past weekend. Pictures courtesy of Ed Chesnut. Jay L.

Take a look at this! item number 180069194718 laugh or cry! the rear end on my gripper never looked like that!

I have an 82 Ossa TR80 350 and I need to know what the original jet sizes are for the Amal Mk2 carb. Does anyone have that info. I have spent a lot of time on the net looking and I am surprised that info is not out there somewhere. DonD

Finally think Ive found all the parts required for the little 200 but what oil and how much in the gearbox/clutch? The oil in there is green and just looks like Duckhams multigtade engine oil. Many thanks
