Twinshock

Just wondering how much it cost to rebuild some of the bikes on this forum, there has been some very nice bikes recently on here. I would imagine that you can spend up to

Have heard from some old timers That they took the swing arm from the 348 and switch it with a 349 swing arm suppose to make bike handle better by making wheel base from 51.5 to 53.2.Has anyone tryed this or think it would be worth it.Have heard that the 348 had a light front end and this was suppose to help????

What was the stock gearing on a 1977 348 Front & rear Right now I have a 37 tooth in rear,have not check front yet Thanks

Yesterday I found this 10M survivor in Vancouver, BC. The little rascall is 99.5% complete and all original. The only thing I can find missing is the tail light lense. I couldn't wait to fiddle (fettle) with it today, so I drained the old gas, put new gas in, took the carb off and apart, cleaned it, and guess what? It runs! The lights and horn work too! All the chrome needs to be redone, but miraculously the fenders and all the rubber is excellent including the original Pirellis.

Need information on 38 mm dia forks. The diagramatic assembly of the damper. Have stripped mine and want to check everything is ok. Need to remove old fork seals without damaging the legs. Can anyone help with copies out of manual etc.

OK---it's been a while, so bear with me... I've noticed that the brake stays on this Montesa are solidly fastened to the bike on one end, and to the backing plate on the other. I assume that precautions should be taken to be sure that the backing plate is aligned with the drum, but would it help to allow the backing plate to float a little so the shoes will be able to square themselves to the drum? I have also noticed that the front stay is made of particularly soft stuff; maybe it has enough flex to allow the shoes to center.

Does anyone have any good advice on fitting a tubeless 4.00x18 rim to a Sherpa rear hub, 36 hole?. eg where to get a suitable rim, could a Montesa type rim be fitted as the Sherco system doesn't seem to hold air for any length of time when used hard, any pitfalls to be aware of?. Thanks. PS I've just found an earlier post on this subject with good info from Nigel Dabster. What type of Yamaha hub do you mean Nigel, it must presumably be a 32 hole setup for the Sherco rim?.

A bit of advice or your views needed I have a 1982 Godden framed Majesty 175, which I fancy riding in a Twinshock classes at club Trials and maybe progressing further if I like it or my results are good enough. The bike is mechanically very sound and everything works fine,with all maintenance up to date with everything replaced as necessary. I've never trialled it, just ridden a few times at a practice ground. Cosmetically it's pretty good also with all the correct Majesty modifications and parts,the wheels were already respoked and fitted with new rims,plus IRC tubed tyres. It has a SM chromed front pipe (which some say produces more torque.......does it?) and new F…

My swingarm looks bent in where the axle goes through, and the axle was showing quite a few threads outside of the nut after it's tightened down. The right side plate where the axle goes through is definitle at an angle to the tubular part. I'm wondering if I have the correct spacers. Could anybody out there give me some measurements? Axle length? Swingarm width (at axle)? Spacer width?

Have tried all suppliers as suggested by TC people. No luck. Has anyone got a Cagiva SX350 Alu Blu engine lying around. the piston and barrel are the same I believe.

UCDQ (Uncle Charlie Dumb Question) #26. This is what happens when I start treading new turf... My project Cota has an incorrect, modern-looking fork brace. Judging by the pictures I've seen, there was no fork brace on this model. Is there any benefit to having one? One of the reasons I ask is because it takes the place of fender stays, so the fender only attaches in the middle. I'm considering alloy fenders (for their superior price, durability and ease of installation, of course) and I'm curious if it's OK to just support them in the middle like this.

What should the center to center distance be for rear shocks on 348.and what was rear travel

Any good mods you folks know of for this bike? Engine (porting)? Carburetion (use the Amal for a papreweight?) Swingarm length? Neck angle? BRAKES? Fork valving? Footpeg position?

Could anyone give me some info on Italajets. I am concidering a 83 350 right now for my vintage class ride for no other reason than to have something different. Im sure parts are difficult to get and no one around my way seems to know much about them. This alone should deter me but it has not. If anyone has some info or opinions I would love to hear them. Thanks Aaron

Rode a few of the ACU classic rounds last year on my old TY Pinkie, loved the trials, so much so I'm thinking of getting a twinshock bike just for doing these type of trials. I've always like the look of the TY175, having never ridden one I was wondering what they are like? They seem's to be loads about (see cheap

If anybody has one, I sure would appreciate it if you sent me some detailed photos of your bike so I can put mine back together properly. Thanks! c

I was wondering if any one knows what the differents of these amal carbs are . These carbs are on a 348 and a 349 Montesa. 2626/402-27 2627/402-27 2627/406-27

Found a Cota. Serial # 21M14025 Anybody know what year it is? Also...it appears to be a 'trail' model with a giant seat. Is this the same at the trials model except for the bodywork? Is the trials bodywork available? Here is the link to Ebay. I can't believe it's less than an hour from me. Please don't outbid me! Ebay

Just wondering if there are any good Ossa websites out there. Thanks in advance. Gaff.

What is point gap and timing for 349,also do they use the same points and condenser as a 348!
