Twinshock

Can you get progresive springs to fit older Falcon shocks? I have tried ringing Falcon but never any answer? will Betors new progresive spring fit ok?

Hi all, have added a Merlin/ Cagiva DG3 to my to do list, does anybody know who the UK importer was or any likely source of spares? So far I am looking for a front brake plate and a front sprocket cover but no doubt the list will grow. Thanks Giles

In responce to the "fuel tank" repair thread, does anybody know of a company in the UK that can repair the lower side panels (Armstrong 320) on my Tank-and-seat unit as they have been worn away and now splitting apart, and respray/paint the whole thing back to it's original colour ? Thanks in advance. Gaff.

A short Youtube film showing a brief history of trials and George Silk explaining his new gearbox-probably from the 70's?-a 4 speed with high and low ratios.Does anyone know of these Silk machines today?Engine seems similar to the Alta Gaunt Suzuki in the previous thread,the bike like a Montesa.

Missed the show today due to work. How was it? Any photos?

anybody know where to get a speedo kit from, the ones that were fitted to the twinshocks, i need one that works off the front wheel , (not a digital one) sammy miller no longer sells them,

hi everyone. does anyone know the paint code for a 1976 kawasaki kt250 a2. thanks

im lookin for a pair of crank seals for a ty250 im building anyone got any new ones they want to sell

I picked up a nice clean Montesa Cota 172 this past summer. Spent a little time on the bike, but had problems with kick start.(I understand this is common problem) I was given one of the old kick start shafts along with the bike as an example of what happens as the shaft twists. Is there an after market shaft out there made of a better grade of steel? I have one shaft (unbroken but twisted) and another that is twisted off. Also looking for ideas on bike set up and mods to make a good rider for AHRMA. Keith

I have just been lucky enough to get a very tidy KT250-A2 in my possession. It is missing a seat and its sidecovers though. Thanks to David (Feetupfun) I will shortly have seat on its way, but I am still missing sidecovers. I tried Fred and Deb's KT page, but he is out of sidecovers for a few months. Does anyone else have any leads on where to get a set of sidecovers for my bike. I am not fussed if they are the wrong colour or not painted at all, as I have someone local who can paint them for me. Cheers, Ben

ebay listing When I saw this on the local Craigslist I thought it was a guy in the local club selling his bike. I mean, how many of these can there be? Turns out there were about three of them in the area. They were all bought at the same time back in the 70s, modified and competed with. I am trying to get the opportunity to photograph it for historical purposes. It was originally posted on Craigslist for $1500, but I think it will go a lot higher. As of this posting it's already at $1325 with 5 days left. He also has a M10 bitsa for sale, although it may not generate the same interest.

Hi Hopefully someone can help ! I have a Montesa 172 which the restoration is about complete, however I have a problem with gear selection (goes into first but nothing else), and what appears a very heavy clutch. What I am after is if anyone knows of a good engine/gearbox rebuild shop (or individual !) in the North of England where I could take the bike to (I need to take the complete bike so it can be checked running). Ive googled and there a few specialist twinshock shops, but a long way away from me ! cheers and thanks for looking John

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.

Is there anyone out there who has an Elstar Trials or knows someone who has, pictures, sales info etc, info on these are hard to find, Don Morleys book and the "Otter" web site are the only source's i have found, any help would be greatfully received

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!!!

Just about complete now, although you can always find more to do. Time to get on with my Ossa TR77 now.

Can any one tell me about the Mini Majesty frames. Are they all the same or are there differing types, eg early and late like the 250s. I know there are still some available from C Mawlem. I have a TY175 that I may convert. I liked the look of the one in Classic Dirtbike mag, and a nice one was for sale at Malvern last week. Any info appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Is anybody out there interested in 4 stroke kawasaki trials bikes e.g. Gollner bike & has anybody got pictures or advice on how to build one. Thanks

Hi folks, There will be another ahrma Trials at Unadilla's MX Rewind this year. June 5th. I am in need of checkers. If you are available, or have friends who can help, please let me know with a PM. The Trials is right after the CC race. Several people I know do both the CC race and the Trials, so there's time between events to make your way over. There will also be at least 1st place trophies for novice, intermediate and expert classes, for post 1979 air-cooled Trials bikes with drum brakes and twin shocks, even though this is a non points ahrma class. Feel free to ask me any questions about the event. And please help out if you can.
