How easy is it to fit a C15 rear shinging arm to a Cub? Or another way to change the rear end to take a 400 tyre.. Thanks

last year I wrote an article about getting my SWM Jumbo road registered. I am currently getting another bike done and there have been some changes required by the DVLA. Specifically, organisations that provide dating letters, now require photographs of the engine and frame numbers. I have used Roy Bacon for my dating letters for the SWM's and he kindly contacted me regarding the change today. The updated article is now on my website.

Hi guys so far I used a lot of momentum and a CRF250 now I got myself a TLR200 Reflex '87 everything works not great, more redneck-mint, but the bike is ridable the engine seems healty, starts at 1st kick and puills strong but the stoppers sorry, I am used to some 'negative acceleration' when I pull the lever here I hear a 'clunk' but there is no real slowing down the rear end does not work much better I had both ends apart, the brake shoes looked to be in good condition, so I roughened the surface a little, cleaned the drums, lubed the pin, adjusted the cable/rod but did not achieve much improvement is there a trick to turn drum brakes into actual stoppers …

Does anyone know how much a 1982/3 Montesa 349 is worth?

I am trying to get my Montesa Cota 350 clutch to work perfectly...ha ha. The clutch drags when it is cold so the cable has to be tightened too much. When the bike is hot, the clutch works good and the cable can be loosened a little. Sadly, I have a bit of experience with the Montesa clutches but I

Have just acquired a rare aprilia 50 trials of 1981 vintage..... (similar to a fantic 50). It's got the obligatory minarelli motor but the carburations a bit, erm, fluffy! -runs all nice at tick over, ok on full throttle but not so good on the rest. Carb doesn't have a pilot jet, just a main and an emulsion tube. Anybody got a carb of japanese origin (approx 15mm) they would care to pass on for a good price......? Andy. ps. or 125 honda 4 stroke motor.......

seen a few real nice tlr 200s for sale. would appreciate your veiws on buying one thanks,

I have changed the carb on my Montesa 123 for a Mikuni with a main jet of 190. The exhaust is now leaking black oily gunge, is this because the jet is too big or is it something else. The plug is a NGK B6ES. Cheers John

Hi all, i tried to post pics of my Majesty after i finished rebuilding it, but now i have put it on ebay after only riding it once (and got second place at guisborough's glaisdale 2 day trial ).. it rode far better than expected and didnt lack in power, even though i weigh 16stone, it cost me

Hello all! After yet another stripdown, I had the chance to have a superb practice after work on Friday on my Italjet. Although it didn't break down, and always started well, I found that if I came down a hill with the throttle shut off, when I came to apply power, there was no response for a few seconds, then it picked up. I tried small throttle openings coming down the hill, but with the less than perfect brakes, that seemed a bit too scary!!! I wonder if anyone has experienced this sort of thing before? I have had awful trouble with air leaks, but this time I made new gaskets all round, and have fitted new crank oil seals etc. My money is on the carb (Dellorto PH…

Looking for a cheap pair of trials shocks. The cheapest I found are $115.00 from Speed and Sport. Any one found any cheaper? This is for a bike that will be for sale soon. For a keeper I'd get the Falcons.
