Classic Trials

Do any of you boffins know what is the best exhaust system for a 32A Villiers trials engine and where to get one? Is a true silencer better than an expansion box? What sort of packing is best? Does length matter!!!?? Thanks in anticipation.

Looking at the todo trial classic site, and also in the video on zona trial, i notice one of the top twinshock riders is using an aprilia TXR mono converted to twinshock. I know its a mono because theres a few subtle differences from the t-shock frame and i have owned both models. Are the spanish now allowing converted mono's or is he pulling a cheeky one?

The event is organised under the auspices of the Dales Classic MCC www.dalesclassic.wordpress.com and that if you wish to take part then it is

Hi I've just bought a "barn find" 350cc Bullet in pretty bad condition that I found in a snake and poisonous spider infested old barn in New South Wales. I've only restored Fantics and a couple of Cubs previously so I could do with a bit of help to identify age etc etc. with this "oldie" in the form of literature, websites, parts specialists and anything else you can suggest. The only thing I have to identify it, after failing to work out how to insert a picture on this website, is the engine number, V571391P. Alternatively, if anyone can put me right on how to get the pics in the topic I would appreciate that as well. Cheers Twinshock (AKA Roger Galpin)

hi im just building a trials tiger cub ( dont really know what im doing but hey ho) i realize that the standard cub forks are not going to be good enough so has anyone got any ideas about what to put on it, dont want to speand a fortune and there only for light ttrial use, please any suggestions welcome.

My reason for posting this is because i am confused as to the differences on rules for Trials between the ACU and the AMCA. Now every year the ACU publish a handbook which is sort of clear, actually some of it is very badly unthought out but at least it's something, with regards to the rules of the sport and the construction of the bikes especially the Classic Pre65 and Twinshocks. However after trawling the AMCA website, because i have never seen an AMCA handbook and neither has anybody else i have asked, i cant find any "rules". Now i know the ACU clubs use the front wheel spindle as the "marker" for being in or out of the section whereas the AMCA seem to use front whe…

I recently bought a 1987 Honda Reflex. It is in decent shape with a box containing all the lights and parts. One of the reasons I got it is so my short wife can have a dual sport. All of the current dual sports are too tall for her. This hides the fact that I bought myself a new bike. I am registering it in TN and will bring it back to street legal status while leaving its focus on trials practice (I do not plan to compete any time soon). One of the POs removed the battery so it is running straight off the coil. The headlight does not work (I have not dived very deep into it but a multimeter at the leads does not register anything) and I think it shocked me a couple times…

Anybody got directions or map reference for the Peak Classic trial at Edensfield Farm, Chesterfield on Sunday? No clues on the website. Ta! Roger

Does anyone out there know how to paint a sherpa plastic tank?? Most info i`ve seen seems to be based around bumpers but not sure it`s the same plastic? and of course it`s mostly American so not sure if the materials are available in the UK. Any ideas??

Hi Guy's, Steve Saunders, has mailed me to say that he will be able to ride at the Classic Trials Show, riding his Triumph on Sunday. So all you fans of Steve better come along to see how he fairs against a very tough opposition. Regards Charlie.

Hi Guys, After being badgered for a couple of months to incorporate Twin-Shocks into the Classic Trials Show by a guy, after discussion with the team we decided to give him a chance, He then turned the idea down. This is what we said. OK, we have a one hour slot in our busy schedule, that we may be able to fit in a one lap, ten section, trials class. So if you can find seven or eight, "Honda riders" to make up this class, to ride both days. (They can be different riders on both days if you wish), I will try and organize the class, the bikes must be twinshocks, and the fee will be the same as the open class,

I think Big John
