Twinshock

Does anyone have a Cota 25 tail light lense they can part with? It's small, about 1-1/4" round, dome shaped and screws onto the light base. It's the only thing I need for my 25 and so, of course, will pay WAY more than it's worth to get one.

hi, im new here so....... does anyone own a ossa 350 gripper, or know where i can find piston rings for one?

Saw this at the show Gaff, thought you may be interested. I can email you the images in larger res if you like, send me your address again. Sorry but I didn't get a picture of the other side and that 'beutifull' exhaust!!!!

OK, how do I place an add? I'd like to just put a link to my site so I don't waste my time and Andy's space. Like this http://metalmarkers.tripod.com/hondatrials/id13.html

Just a reminder that the "Classic Off Road Show" is 10am this Saturday (12th March) at the Three Counties Showground at Malvern. If its anything like the show at Coventry last year there should be plenty of interesting twinshocks & pre 65's on display. Anyone else going? Martin

Can or has anyone used tubeless tire with a tube in it on a tube style rim.I was told that it will work fine,and that they hold on to rim better!!!!

Hi lads hope you will be able to help me out. I have a Montesa cota 200 and have a bit of a problem with the gearbox on it. When riding up hill it has a tendency to jump out of gear, has anyone had similar problems on this bike and if so what was it. I had an Ossa that had a similar fault and it was the spring for the detent plunger had snapped, is there a one of these fitted to this bike or is it a different system. Any help would be gratefully received. Cheers Glenn

Seen on e-bay What bike is it?

Can anybody advise me on somebody to strip my forks, re-chrome and plastic coat the sliders as well as do a spot of welding, (where the tension bar bolts to the slider, this has been snapped at some point in the bikes past and bodged). Gaff.

Just bought myself a new (old) toy, a 1983 Armstrong 320 (what i packed up on when i was but a kid) with the Hiro engine. And wanted to know what fuel i should use (i use Shell Optimax in my 315R), what ratio of fuel/oil mix and what oil to use in the engine ? Any tip's and advice (excluding "sell it !"), and help with spares would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Gaff.

I was given a Montesa Cota 200 for my birthday about 6 years ago by my Uncle. The bike was in 'ok' condition but was abit hard for me to ride when i was only ten so it went back into the shed. It was there until summer this year when i decided to try and ride it - bad idea. It went very well for a while, but then the engine suddenly started rattling alot. The bike therefore pobably needs an engine rebuild to find the problem. Gearbox is fine and so is everything else exept wheel and swingarm bearings etc, t just needs tidying up. I got a new Beta at christmas and the bike is cluttering up the workshop so I want to get rid of it. Unforturnately this is all I know ab…

Who was looking for the aluminum inner tank for a 348/349 (UK model)? e-bay

I own a 76 OSSA 250 MAR with the AMAL 627 Carb and have not been able to find any information on this Carb as most of the machines imported to Canada came with the IRZ unit. I am attempting to obtain the original stock configuration Jet sizes(Pilot, Needle Jet, Main Jet) and part numbers for various items(Needle Jet Holder, Float Needle, Float Needle Seat, Carb Gasket and O-Ring Kit)), along with the settings for the Pilot Air Screw, Throttle Stop Screw and the appropriate Clip setting on the Needle. I would if possible like to find any servicing/overhaul/parts information pertaining to this Carb in print(or digital) if available. Can anyone provide any assistance or dire…

seems cool, but the engine looks overgrown in the small frame. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...5&category=6719 not that I am into these, the Mont 23 look more to scale. k

Bit of help needed.....!! Friend of mine got a 200 mont, ran brill yesterday, today started "four-stroking", running hot & spitting back thro carb. Any idea's? also what grade plug does it take? (didn't have a spare plug to try today) Cheers, Andy

Hi, does anybody know where i would be able to buy or get made for me some fuel tank manufacturer brand decals for the "Armstrong 320" (this is the big White flash down the length of the tank-seat unit with Red and Yellow detailing and 320 TRIAL and ARMSTRONG written in Black) and "CCM" (Just those letters in Red). Thanks in advance. Gaff.

anybody got or know of a spare one? Andy

Buying a pair of rear shocks for my TY175, I don't want to spend the earth on a pair but in the same breath I want a decent pair. NJB Expert Shocks seem to fit the bill

Can anyone give me any suggestions what bike uses a simple 'bung' type petrol top of roughly 41mm diameter. The top I got with the bike is of a hard rubber/artificial rubber material with a plastic top, this has Chinese or Japanese style writing on it but no-one seems to know what it comes from. I am pretty sure its from an obscure bike oil tank or petrol tank. Unfortunately this is too worn to seal, hence the car cap I am using. Alternatively has anyone any suggestions what I could use - or modify to use as a top. I have just machined the original top for 2 O rings but am still not happy with the seal on this. I have been using one of those emergency car petrol ta…
