Twinshock

I bought this 1983 Jumbo last weekend. I plan on using it for twinshock competition next year. The fellow I bought it from has two other Jumbos, which I believe, are the only other ones in Australia. One is in bits and is missing the frame. Everything else is there, including plastics, swingarm and bolts, just no frame. Apparently it became a backyard monoshock project and then vanished into the never never. Does anyone have one they can spare - I would love to buy it from you. I would like to fit wider footpegs, but the kickstarter will not clear them. I believe that an Aprilia Climber kickstarter will fit and will clear my wider pegs. Any one know if this is true? I …

this is on e-bay at the moment,starting bid

Hi All, I've got two basket case OSSA TR80 350 Grippers. I am planning a full restoration of one of them and will be using the other for parts. But I know one part that is going to give me a real problem. That's the primary exhaust system, part number 134.920 M. Both are dented. Can these dents be repaired and if so how? Or does anyone know where I can get one in a decent condition? Thanks in advance. Spud Plark

i`ve been riding a 250 majesty on and off for the last couple of years,and thought it was great untill i rode another one !! it turns out that my bike does not have the additional flywheel weight fitted,does anyone know where i can get one? the difference it makes is huge!! much softer and not so revvy.

Any results yet for sundays classic trial at Sheffield?

Hi, can anyone help me out with the size of the socket reqd to remove gearbox drain plug? Thanks in advance

What do you guys recon on this twinshock 350cc?. It's a Merlin built in Spain in 1985 with a cagiva 350cc engine . All of their adult bikes came with the same Cagiva engines. Your comments please.

Hello out there Im in the process of restoring my Majesty. I have had the frame stripped to bare metal, but cant make up my mind about having it repainted. A couple of years ago I restored a ty175 and had the frame powder coated. This was great until I tried to rebuild it as the bolt holes and threads were all full of powder coat, also when it chips I cant touch it up. Im thinking of paintin the Majesty frame but would like some advise on what paint use, and whether this is practical as the bike will be used in trials and not just to look at. Hope somebody can help, cheers Mark

Am i right that Beta made a t/shock bike as one of their first trials bikes? if so does anyone know anything about them.

Just a thought, anyone off to the 'old mine' tomorrow? Should be tricky after the rain to day!

Here are some photos by Ron Walsh of this fall's Classic Trial at Ioco, near Vancouver. Guess which bike is mine http://www.ronwalsh.ca/2005ClassicTrial/20...assicTrial.html

Does anybody know of a manufacturer who would make me a one-off base gasket. Or better still supply me with a base gasket for a Hiro 350T engine as used in the Armstrong/CanAm 320 Trial. I totally ruined mine whilst removing the barrell to inspect the piston and bore (proved to be a waste of time as they are both in good condition). The gasket itself is like a thick plastic with a fine wire mesh within, so therefore, i am not really interested in cutting a Cornflakes box to match Thanks in advance. Gaff.

Anybody have a piston-to-wall clearance and a ring end-gap for a 350 Alpina? Thanks.

Is anyone else on the Trials Central site riding tomorrow at the Hyland trial.

Have just brought home a 1974 alpina 350 (i am fairly sure , as it has a head that looks too small for the barrell) , what niche would this bike have filled ? got it started (BLOODY HELL !! the man said it hadn,t done much work he wasn,t lying , it,s got as much compression as my ty350) but haven,t ridden it yet so am not knowing what gearing is like , would it have been like a long distance trials bike perhaps? and i need one fork slider , one is perfect , one is cactus , thanks steve batkines bundaberg

Greetings, I am looking for a stock carb for a '74 TY250A. If anyone has one they want to part with or know who I might contact to find one ( I know that BJRacing has a nice set up, but that is my last resort) please let me know. Thanks! Bill

Anyone on here heard of a lion rapide rigid trials before. i found this gem on ebay Lion rapide

Looking through an Italian bike mag from 1974 that someone had given me, found an advert for CZ. Looks as though they actually produced a trials bike!!!! Never even knew one existed......anyone ever seen one?????? Martin

Convinced myself that i needed a twin shock "project" and picked up a 1984 Montesa 242 in reasonable shape. It seems to be nearly all original but the airbox to carb rubber is split and the silencer (tail pipe) is missing. From what i've seen these seem to be a very narrow "pea shooter" type. Does anyone know if they are available or what a suitable replacement might be please? New, used, broken, i'm not fussy. I've yet to start it up but have had a nosey in the gearbox side (which was oilless!) and the selector shaft seems to have been repaired at some point. Is this a Monty weakness? Any other tips, hints, opinions and disparaging remarks are invited. Roy.

high all any one know how mutch oil the gear box and clutch need ? (the dutch site info does'nt seem right but I could be wrong) cheers
