Pre-65 Bikes

I`m after some simple white BSA stickers for my petrol tank, many recommendations anyone?

Hi All, Have a rickman hub to build up for the rear of my James. Anyone know where I can get a flangless rim for it? Some cheap Mitchelin X11's would be good too!!! Cheers Steve.

B40 on t' bay, how much did it go for ? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BSA-B40-TRIALS-GB-WD...%3A1|240%3A1318

Has anyone got any pictures of a widened swing arm that I can use to plan my alteration. I already have the original (wider) arm, but still have minimal clearance and hence want to make the alteration. Any advice gladly received.

Does anyone know when John Catchpole built his Scott-based trials outfit as shown in this photo? http://www.eurospares.com/graphics/sidecar...eSpecial001.jpg Via Google I found an image of JC in action on his first special in 1952 but the one in the photo above appears to be a later version. It seems like every time I go thumbing through my collection of Off Road Review I spot some interesting bike that I'd not noticed before. cheers, Michael

Hi Guys, Is the Talmag trial still on this sunday at Hungry Hill, Aldershot. Last year it was cancelled, if so its a good day out, especially the sidcars bouncing valves up the climbs!! triton

Seasons greetings to you all and thanks for the assistance/advice over the last year. Rgds Nigel

Can you help me with fitting a cub hub in a set of b50 front forks? Do you have to make a new spindle or are there other ways around it? Is it a good idea too cut my c15 frame to raise the engine for more ground clearance? do I live with it or go for a faber frame? Any help much appreciated.

I have just had my Tiger cub engine rebuilt and its popping back when I close the trottle, I have a keihen carburetor is it just a question off jetting main jet as tick over etc seems to be OK?

Here is a photo of a villiers 6e with an Ajax conversion (fitted in a 1951 James rigid). Other than this was made by B&C Pearson, Knowle, Birmingham in the 50s and 60s and is, along with the Vale Onslow conversion the only conversions allowed for pre60 villers engined scramblers, I can't find out much about it. Anyone have any more info? Tim

Hi, Fuel cap Have seen several pics of beautiful slim ally fuel tanks on P65 bikes, they all seems to have "KTM-like" fuel caps; does anyone of you know if "ready to weld on" ally tubes with threads are available? Or if machining threads by lathe is the only way? Cut loose a plastic cap tube from an MX fuel tank, and fastend/seal it from the inside before the ally parts are welded together, might be possible? Airbox Are any of you using 4-s airbox from Sammy Miller, eg for Cub or B15? If yes, whats your opinion about performance verses KN-like filters, that offering a hard time jetting because of non defined air volume... Regards, Pat

anyone out there know where to buy steel tubing on line ect.. trying to source some to make a rear sub frame for a triumph twin and cant seem to find anyone who sells the stuff!!drawn a complete blank..HELP

looking for Greeves Scottish hubs. will pay cash.

Hi, Calling all BSA experts, thinking about building another pre 65 trials bike, would the C15C make a good starting point? Seems to have been designed as a scrambler,(looks like a stronger frame than the road bikes) so i guess had higher compression and a bigger cam ?

hi. i have been looking at ignitions for my villiers engine but dont know which one is the best. there is the PVL ignition or the nametab ignition or is there other ones. which is the best. thanks charlie My dad has got the nametab ignition on his and uses it for trials and thats fine at the moment so should i get the nametab ignition. i have heard that the nametab ignition is simple to fit is that true

Hi Folk's Looking to get a couple of air boxes made for the trials bikes, greeves and james, to help with the breathing etc. Anyone got any contacts for people who do this provide kits etc. Cheers Steve.

Always a hot potato this one. Just wondered what the panel thought. I was over at a friends the other day droping some parts off and noticed he was rebuilding / refurbishing one of the local guys bikes. Now the rider in question usually already wins all the local events he enters but i did notice the ignition that was going to be fitted to the rebuilt engine. I was particularly interested as i am rebuilding a spare engine to put into my James. So what in perticular interested me? Well i am currently running a PVL system on the James and was going to fit a similar system to the new engine but the one that was to be fitted to the James my friend was preparing had a switch…

hi. this seems like a silly question but do you need a fast or slow action throttle for trials thanks charlie
