Twinshock

Does anyone know if you can just buy the mid box separately (I already have the tail pipe) or anyone selling one second hand?

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…

Hello all. I'm rebuiding a Mont 200 the one with the alloy tank under the F/glass tank and seat unit. I understand that there are two sorts of rear guard, LONG and SHORT, There seems to be a black plastic shield behind the air box does this mean I need a short guard? any help would be great as I've nothing to go by. Also would this model have the chain tubes as standard? Thanks in advance.

Am at present trying to source parts for my Cagiva DG350. Are there any dealers with spares in UK. Any tests on the bike available. Manuals available for this model. Any help would be appreciated.

Does anyone know the frame numbering sequence for the 340 Sherpas modified by Comerfords?. I saw a 340 recently that looked like and was claimed to be a Comerfords bike. It had the forward top mountings for the rear shocks and the larger s/a mounting plates to take the swinging arm forward to within a few mm of the engine casing but the swinging arm itself was of heavy oval tube and I thought they had rectangular ones made by Whitehawk. Or maybe that was an extra?. How many 340s were made in total?. Sorry, must have pushed the go button twice or something, maybe Andy can remove this post, please.

I’m going to be working on a friends 1985 Can Am (Armstrong) 240 (Rotax) trials bike. I have a couple of SWM 320s (280 Rotax) . So I know where to get any engine parts. The body and frame parts I’m not so sure about. We need the following: muffler... ...carb kit... ...seat... ...all cables... ...decals... ...intake tube from carb to engine...since it has the Amal carb the intake tube appears different(smaller id) SWM? ...air filter... ...rear sprocket... ...front and rear fenders ...what handlebars do you recommend?.. thanks

Hi fellas, Got a bit of a problem,after some advice. My 348 Montesa was running ok, then got very hot, then an almighty bang,(that put the wildlife up) after that no spark. Off with the fly wheel new key, points. Still no spark, so anyone know resistance for coils ect or any other ideas. Thanks. Billy

Hi there, Does anyone know if anybody makes a sump guard (bash plate) that fits the Cota 247. I know they didn't have them fitted in the factory but the bottom frame tubes of my Cota are getting quite chewed up and could do with a bit of protection. Thanks Simon

Can anybody tell me the free length of front fork springs an a 1976 Ossa Mar.

I have a line on one of these. Any comments on this model? 1977-78, I think.

Has there ever been a Hiro 125 engine in a trial motorcycle? I do know Ancillotti 125 motocross but how about trial?

Hello In a moment of nostalgia induced weakness i recently bought an old Montesa 348 for rebuilding. It came with a red frame and a hidious lime green/yellowish tank cover/seat unit. I assumed it would need respraying in the red that i've seen every other 348, but after scraping away some of the original paint can't find a trace of red. Does anyone know if Montesa had a bit of a 'seventies moment' ever painted 348's in anything like this? Cheers

Hello I am trying to find a source for bushings for my three Dalesmans. One 71 Mx Lynx and two Enduros.I have tried numerous places and have run out of ideas.Can provide piccs and dimensions. I am sure these were probably common to other bikes as well. Any ideas?

I'm just about to start restoring my recently purchased Montesa 330 and one of first jobs I was looking to do was get the wheels rebuilt with stainless spokes and whilst split get the hubs powdercoated. Obviously this has been before and I would appreciate those of you who have had wheels done to share your experience's with me and any recommendations would be welcome. Thanks

hi im looking into buying a twinshock trials bike as a project to restore for me and my dad and was wondering how much it would cost roughly to do one up to mint condition. also i would also like some guidance on the best places to look for bikes going cheap and how much could i pick up a runner for? cheers coxy

Hello all, Does anyone have any old copies of Kickstart, with Peter Purves? From what I remember from the TV, it was brilliant viewing, and should be a great watch for us saddo's. I always remember Eddy Lejeune was the man to beat on Honda. I've scanned google, but not turned up anything. Has anyone re-issued it yet? N.B. Adult version, of course!!!

I posted this in the montesa forum but i should have posted it here, Hi, can you change the kickstart shaft without splitting the engine? silly question as i split a 349 a few months ago and i just cannot remember!! I have been offered a 1977 one with the splines stripped. cheers Dave

Hello, simple where can i get a pair of white mudgaurds for my red/black beamish with a long rear one to aviod a join.
