Hi, does anyone on here know if anyone has ever made Seeley tank cover seat units in recent years. Also I have a Wes system on my Seeley, but I was wondering if any other after mkt system fits. Thanks

Cost of machine and ease of getting hold of spares, ride quality etc etc.......TLR's need not apply due to the high cost of the bike on the s/h market.....am i right in thinking along the lines of TY twinshock (250?) of Bultaco 250 / 350.....any comments gents?

Hi guys , just wanted an opinion on whats the best bike out of a 250 beamish or a yam 250 majesty (i own both) to use for some green laning (twisty tight stuff) and in between minimal roadwork! i'd guess the suzuki as its quiter and smoother,less vibey? but havent tried both on the road so dont know? can only insure one of them so which one? (i know these bikes are not road bikes but a friend has just bought a 250 beamish and suggested doing the above!) thanks in advance.

I`m told someone has had some cast,does anybody have any info about this?

Couldn't make as I was away in France, but has anyone got any photos? My Ossa MAR MKII was on Dave Renham's stand.

Have any of you out there in the world ever used Sebac shocks on a trials bike ?!?

I'm planning a C15 trials bike and thinking of ditching the alternator and just using a battery. This will also allow me to re-work the LHS cover and reduce width and a bit of weight. - What type of battery do people use ? - Is anything else needed beside standard coil, condenser, and points ? - Has anybody tried this with Boyer-Bransden ? - What amp/hour rating is best? - 6v or 12v. - How many hours trialling do you get before a recharge is needed ?

Hi im interested in adding a 1979 montesa cota 250 to my collection i remember my cousin having one back in 81 and it seemed a stonking bike , really zippy revved well? would this be badged as a 247 cota or a 249??? were they any good i remember it being superier to my 76 ossa at the time though i suppose it was a much newer model better tech, etc!!! only real problem i suppose is actually finding a good one only ever see 248 /349's and earlier 70's cotas but never late seventies 250's cotas WHY? imho the above bike looked stunning! but this was 26 yrs ago!!!

A little tanned man left this on my door step today............ Can you guess what it is yet. Yes.......... i know its a bit of a nail at the mo , but you just wait and see . Exact answers only please.

Saw a pair of rock shox for the first time at a trial today and they look just what i need for the James. Asked the guy whose bike they were on where he bought them "from the bloke who makes em". Hmmmm not much help. I seem to remember reading somewhere that Pete Edmundsen is doing them but cant find a number anywhere. Can anybody help with a number or website?

I know of at least 3 short stroke works Honda still around (Mick Grants included), but does anybody know if any long stroke works Honda are still in existance?

Hi guy's i thought i'd start a thread on hot tip's for restoration! as i know a lot of you out there are doing up pre-65 and twinshocks! This would be to everyones benefit helping along a restoration , so heres the first tip, when youve got that old trials bike back home and its looks like its been dragged through a hedge backwards a few times, get a handfull of wire wool and squirt baby oil (yes dont laugh) all over the grimy stuff and rub it well in , you'll find that this will clean up the bike a treat and wiped down with a rag with the same stuff will protect it! ive just done this to a pair (wire wool) akronts and they've come up a treat! everything else i tried …

Hi all, this is my fantic that i built specificly to compete at a harder level than just the clubman route, although i did ride it in a few twinshock / pre65 trials this year, you will do well to spot all the mods, and it is 100% fantic, i now ride a TYZ as my main bike so this one is redundant :-( I would be interested in any oppinions Alan http://img87.imageshack.us/my.php?image=24102006171yg2.jpg http://img133.imageshack.us/my.php?image=24102006172mr1.jpg http://img83.imageshack.us/my.php?image=24102006173mi4.jpg http://img133.imageshack.us/my.php?image=24102006174qc0.jpg

I had a problem with my 200 Fantic running 'rough' missing or 4 stroking is the only way to describe it. I found a partialy blocked pilot jet, could this cause the problem described?

Anyone got any colour pics of an original Gollner kt.I am about to rebuild one but there seems to be very little info about them. All info / photo`s would be greatly appreciated. Paul

Can anyone help me to date my TY 250 and any other info as to its Origin, Is the White frame original. I have included a couple of photos if this helps. The Frame number is 498-801910 Cheers, Vaughan.

I am trying to rebuild a pair of betor dampers which I think came from a late Bultaco 340. Does anyone know the amount of oil and viscosity, and if there is any chance of getting new seals?

Look what I found in my garage. Looks like my two yellows had a baby!
