Classic Trials

bought a fantic 3 years ago for my boys, had good fun teaching them to ride there first bike. now its stored in our shed, but i want to know what kind of fantic it is. it says fm350 on most of the plastics and engin.?

I recently purchased a mostly complete KT250 which I intend to restore to ride vintage events. I am have collected most of the missing bits, along with a donor bike. There are few parts I need to replace with new, sprockets, cables, swing arm bushings and shocks. Anyone have a source for these parts. I plan to run premix and remove the oil pump, where can I obtain a single throttle cable which would work with a Domino slow throttle assembly?

Hi this is my first post, i am building a pre 65 bike out of a 1960 B40 star i have almost finished the engine (C15t gears, Alpha roller bearing big end & timing side main, PVL ignition and Amal 626 carb) i could do with some advice on frame mods ie swinging arm ,steering head angle etc I have built the wheels with bantum hubs 18" rear wm3 R18/4, front 21" wm1 R21/2.75. the rear shocks are Betor 13.5" units and the forks are B25

I am in the process of restoring a basket case kawasaki KT 250. Can anyone tell me how to bypass the ignition switch and just set it up with a kill switch?

I'm new the Pre 65 trial scene, and keep reading conflicting reports on who and were to get a engine cc converstion done on my Tiger Cub, SERCO is a name that keeps cropping up but i understand that it has changed hands, new owners etc, and the web site and contact details i have seen on this site dont seem to be working out. so if any of you better inlightened people out there could help, that would be great. I live out here in Dubai, so the pre 65 scene consist of me and my mate Martin !!! 1. who and were are the best people to get a 230, or 250 cc converstion kit for my cub? 2. And best people for Trials parts for the same bike? thanks in advance !!

I've uploaded a few video clips to youtube, see here:

Results of the Manx 2 Day Classic have been posted on the Manx Trials Club Web site. As You'll see, in a reversal of last year's results, Dave Thorpe beat John Maxfield on most cleans - both having lost 25 marks. Joint third only one point behind were Chris Gascoigne and Dave Wood with Chris taking third again on most cleans. Click this for the results. How does Dave do it? Amazing for his age.

hi. is it possible to convert a 3 speed bantam engine to a four speed. thanks charlie

Has anyone managed to fit a belt drive primary to an AJS M16? I'm looking at trying to fit a Bob Newby product but not sure that the width of the cover is large enough to take the belt. Does anyone know where I might get a slightly wider cover? Are there any other products out there for this conversion to the M16? Thanks

So the boat ticket is booked, I know roughly where it is, i know whos running it (Bill Pye) and the 340 fantic should be serviced in time. I know Bilco is going and a few other yorkshire boys too. What else do i need to know? I will be tenting it on site, which I am told is ok. Is it primative or are there any loos? I understand, that the pub sells beer and no food. Good for some but what about eating over 3 days? Any recommendations? Can I use throw away bar-b-q to grill some steaks? If it is wet, am i gonna get stuck on the parking? what about the sections? who has ridden it? hard/easy? I know its all the same route scored over 3 days. any pictures out there? Le…

Hello, does anyone know where I can get my hands on a new HT5 replica frame? I want to build a project over the summer months as I'm fed up sat in front of a computer at work. Ideally I'm after an oil in the frame version. Also interested in any complete bike ot projects that are for sale. Thanks in advance.......

hi. is there anywhere that you can get greeves hawkstone brake assembly as i can not find one any where. thanks

Hello all, just wondering if anyone knows of a supplier of high comp pistons for b40s , also is there a cam and carb upgrade for the same , the engine i've got is an early one but its in good shape, i'd like to squeeze as much as poss from the old girl , thanks

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

I know with petrol prices being as they are that the travel budget is strained but if you ride pre65 or a twin shocker here are two dates which may be off interest. The first weekend of August (2nd/3rd) sees the German Championships move to Engelsberg, which is close to Munich. Free camping etc etc. One week later, there are two trials which count to the Eurocup in Salzstiegl in Austria. I iknow George Greenland and Joe Howells have ridden both in the past and really liked it. Contact me via a pm for the regs of either lee

The way the acu rules are for the classic championship in my opinion could do with revising. At the moment there are 5 classes. Pre 65

I haven't riden a trial for nearly 10 years now so I'm a little out of touch with it all. Which championship would be the best for me to ride on my Montesa Cota 330 (1985). According to the acu web site there appears to be 2 which I could enter. Sammy Miller and Acu Traditional?? Do any these Trials involve road work? Which would be the best for me and the 330? I presume I still need to join a local club (will join Nene Valley anyway) but do I need an ACU licenece - when I started in 1988 you needed one, they then abolished it. Is that still the case? Other than the national champs are there any good events in the Midlands for Twinshock? Thanks, Steve
