Classic Trials

anyone know of source or substitution for 16210-kj2-000 carb insulator (intake) for my 86 TLR 200? also, is it just me or are the bars too low for my 5'11" 31" inseam body? i have 6" Renthals & feel too bent over - have i just been away from trials too long? my last ride was a 301 FANTIC over ten years ago. i seemed so much more erect - no pun intended : ) dean in tennessee, usa

Who's going to the Talmag on Sunday? I really looking forward to it :-)

Does anyone have any personal contact with Bill Beveridge? as he doesn't seem to enjoy communicating via phone calls and emails and I'm getting a bit frustrated to say the least trying to get hold of him. I know that he has a reputation for being slow to deal with stuff. Hopefully someone may be able to help.

Does anyone know where I could source a pair of Cheetah fuel tank decals?

I've got a ty175 1979 after my dad passed away I brought some new levers as old ones are a bit of a finger trap ,put new one on clutch and after putting new lever on clutch does not disengage, so I put original lever back on and still clutch will not disengage would any of you have any idea what I have managed to mess up

The crank seals in my villiers 32a don.t seem to last long before they need replacing I wonder if ethanol fuel could be to blame any one got any views

I'm Looking forward to Suday, has anyone seen an entry list?

Hi, my rear hub brake needs relining, the new pads do not engage with the hub enough to work. Can anyone recommend someone that can remove and replace the existing liner. Its a Bultaco Sherpa T, 1966 ish. Local to Oxfordshire / South of the UK would be a bonus, but Im happy to travel to get working rear brake. Thanks

all, haven't posted in ages, but something that maybe of interest to those of you that may be considering road registering your classic bike. Now is the time to do it, prior to the DVLA regional offices shutting and whilst it seems the need for inspections isn't so great.

Just acquired a Dalesman, does anyone know how the swinging arm releases? I have removed the near side but with threaded spindle but the other side won’t budge. Not sure if it’s threaded or just needs a drift to get it out. also does anyone knywhere the frame number is? does anyone have a manual or handbook? thanks Dow

Hi anyone know where I can get some of those heavy canvas "plain" black trials jeans?

That time of year again, many people going to the Twinshock Dirtbike show at the weekend?

I have just been trawling the net and found a really interesting new site! www.armac-design.com There are some superb cub parts shown.

I'm trying to find out the point gap for my old Montesa Cota 348? Has anyone got a Workshop book?

Today the new rules for 2013 have been published in the RFME web page. A small "revolution". Handicaps, and more strict ruels for the classic trials, although modified bikes are admitted, they will have the highest handicap of 1,3. New rules as the sliders must have the original stands for the mudguards, modern stands will take the bike to a handicap of 1,3; and much much more.

Can anyone ID this (Villiers) cylinder that came in the box of bits with my Cheetah. There are a few pictures of the same cylinder on this link. There's a 5/16" thick phenolic spacer below the cylinder and it has a chrome bore. Regards David

Hi All Putting together a 8E trialer. Have obtained a two hole head however one of the holes is oversized. I always thought the decompressor was same size as standard plug. Anyone know if this is any use for my build, or simply use the standard head. Thanks in advance

Just back from Inverness, where I have beeen riding the Highlands Pre-65 & Twinshock 2 Days Trial. I would like to thank the Club for the trial that was so good, I will return next year most probably on a Pre-65, or maybe a Bultaco????? Got one year to decide..... I would like to thank so many people that for shure I will forget somebody; Jock, Malcolm, Nigel, Mel...... but specially to BJ

To help with a machine eligiblity issue can anyone state, with confidence, when the Amal Concentric MK1 and MK2 carburettors were first introduced.
