Classic Trials

Avise needed please. Iam building a bsa bantam trials project , not for competition use . can any one advise the best way to go to replace the front forks for more modern replacements that would be suitable for trialing . I do not wish to spend a fortune and require replacements that do not require major engineering to fit . I also understand that the bantam swinging arm will not take a modern 400 x 18 tyre with out it rubbing on the edge of the tyre . Does any know how to widen the swinging arm ? Help and advise appreciated

We have been advised by his family that, sadly, former DOT factory rider, Wilf Couldwell passed away peacefully last Friday, 29th September at the age of 81. The funeral will be held on 14th Oct at 11am. St Teilos Church Llantilio Crossenny Abergavenny Monmouthshire Wales NP7 8TD

Hi Guy's Now Alan Whitton, is putting together a very special group of Works DOT and Greeves bikes, and riders, for a demonstration ride and photo session, at the Classic Trials Show. The Dot boy's coming along, reads like a part of the sixties trials history, but we could do with a couple more ex Greeves works riders to take part, and "Jonah" was one for a short while. So do you know where he is, he left a message on a trials web site twelve months ago. Regards Charlie.

Hi, Ive seen a few Bantams with small ally GasGas kickstarts lately. Is this a simple fitment and if so which model? any help appreciated. cheers Stu

Hi, I have just fitted a Mikuni 26mm carb to my Cota 349. I was originally jetted for a TY200. It will start, eventually, and tick over, initial revs are not good then clears in the mid range to full throttle. Does anyone know the jets and needles etc that should fitted? I did find an old thread but was settings for a 348. Would the same be ok for 349? Many thanks

A few months ago somebody posted a link to a video of the Swedish round of the 1975 world championship. I can't find it. Can anybody with better search skills than mine please repost it. Thanks.

Does anyone please know about what time the entry might arrive at Cheeks. I guess it will be included in the trial, it usually is.

Hi all, the Guy Fawkes trial is on the 2nd November, it's a road trial based in the Cotswolds. It's run by the Western Classic MCC entry forms are on the AMCA site, I've also attached a copy in this post. Should be a great trial, including some fantasic scenery and off road work between sections. Guy_Fawks_2014_regs.pdf

Anyone know what bearings or bushes Sammy Miller used in his Honda TL 125 Hi-boy frames, around 1979? I have yet to take it apart to find out what's there. Thanks

Does anyone know if there is a database or will records have been kept of either a bikes registration number or frame number of it's competition entry history? I have a 1958 Cub which I inherited from my dad, I believe it may have been ridden in the Travers and Scottish.

Does anyone have a blow up diagram of tiger cub ( external spring) heavy weight forks? I have just aquired some and have no details on them.........they are going onto a Bantam trials. Any advice would be muchly appreciated.! Mark
