Twinshock

Hi There, Has anyone got a Honda TLR 200 for sale? Thanks Ash

Any thoughts on what this might be ? ebay listing

Having found a rather sweet (read: immaculate) Sherpa 125 my major concern is tyres. They use a 17". Before I commit myself I need to know whether these are readilly available?

I apologize if anyone's copyright is breached but I had to share them with other appreciative people: '70's pics from the US

Have been asked for ignition timing for Cota 348 and can't find said info on the net, anyone know? Thanks!

Anybody know where I can get a kickstart lever and front fender for a GRM Trialsmaster?

Hi, Can anybody tell where I can get a swinging arm through bolt, space and bearings?

I picked up a nice clean Montesa Cota 172 this past summer. Spent a little time on the bike, but had problems with kick start.(I understand this is common problem) I was given one of the old kick start shafts along with the bike as an example of what happens as the shaft twists. Is there an after market shaft out there made of a better grade of steel? I have one shaft (unbroken but twisted) and another that is twisted off. Also looking for ideas on bike set up and mods to make a good rider for AHRMA. Keith

How tight should I do up the nut on my rim locks? Rear wheel

ebay listing When I saw this on the local Craigslist I thought it was a guy in the local club selling his bike. I mean, how many of these can there be? Turns out there were about three of them in the area. They were all bought at the same time back in the 70s, modified and competed with. I am trying to get the opportunity to photograph it for historical purposes. It was originally posted on Craigslist for $1500, but I think it will go a lot higher. As of this posting it's already at $1325 with 5 days left. He also has a M10 bitsa for sale, although it may not generate the same interest.

Get it while you can... i have finaly managed to put this old VHS tape onto DVD and upload it onto youtube, it only lasts about 5mins . Entitled "Two stroke Cowboys " it is aerial coverage of the Scott from the early/mid seventies i suppose it shouldnt be there , copyright and all that and if anyone objects i will remove it , but it`s a little gem

has any one tried any other carb on a 330? the amal carb on mine is well worn and although i know i can get a new replacement amal would somthing more up to date work any better ? eg mikuni or a dellorto, any one have any ideas or sugestions

Just bought two 1981 cota 200's which have been sitting idle in a barn for a couple years and I was wondering if anyone can tell me the volume and correct type of engine oil to use? Any help will be much appreciated.

Whats a ty 250 twinshock worth these days?? It's a friends bike, nice engine still running the autolube and has it's stand, but no lighting kit! Think it's a 78' or 79 model tank has the blue striping...

Can anyone tell me if there is an alternative solid state ignition system on the market that wil fit straight into a 1973 Mk1 Ossa MAR to replace the troublesome Motoplat system ? I am aware I can get my Stator and HT Coil repaired in Spain, however, I am interested to know where I can obtain Mk1 Ossa MAR ignition parts ?? Thanks Brian H

Hello. I am thinking of buying a twin shock and I appreciate these old things, even ones that look mint, can be a bit of an unknown quantity and take some sorting. What I want to avoid is buying something I can't get bits for, especially engine parts at realistic prices. At the minute I would like a Bultaco or an Ossa or maybe even a Fantic or Montesa. Something probably mid seventies very early eighties. What should I avoid? Any suggestions/guidance or help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Scragg

i am considering entering this event next year ( sort of a holiday away from the wife and kids!) and wondered if anybody could give me any info on the event. do people camp? or stay behind the grandstand? a couple of guys i have chatted to at local trials have done it on pre 65 bikes that cost a small fortune, but they both said it was very enjoyable. i was looking more to ride the easy course on a twin shock (ty175). the bike is rebuilt and rides nice but any pointers on the bike front would be helpfull as well. i dont want to win but to have a good few days with like minded people, so is this the right event? thanks for any info/advice. paul.

I have decided to get the Seeley out and it has still got the original tyres on so I need to change them. Just wondering what you Seeley riders are using and are happy with. I believe tubed tyres are getting harder to find in some makes and some t/ less dont work on tube rims. Thanks in advance.
