  1. There is a lot more modern bits in the pre 65 Scottish than 4 speed Bantams , we better not get started on that one.
  2. I have a 3 speed D7 bantam , is it possable to put a 4 speed cluster into it or is not worth it.
  3. How far down and back is the best place for footrests on a 240 fantic. I have the engine out so now is as good a time to move them .

    Wheel Building

    Its a 198. The long spokes are to long and have to much of a bend to do a 2 cross patern. The original spoke patern is as above.

    Swm ?

    He has the engine well hidden that casing looks plastic.The other side looks very slim. Gear lever shaft well forward. Could be anything [Gasgas pro with air cooled barrel].
  11. Used to use Ipone chain spray with red lid , great stuff went on like milk then set like wax. Cant seem to get it any more. Has the chain people bought the rights to make the stuff and stopped making it because chain sales were down.
  12. Rear is 40mm from brake side.
  13. Going though some old photos and came across some from Ssdt. Mick Andrews on a Majesty yam 182. Bernie Schreiber on bultaco 176. Also some one on a Matchless number 193. who is this person and did he finish .The photo was taken on the Wedensday at Achallader.
  14. It has 250 stickers on side panels. Maybe converted!
  15. Was at a new friends house and he told me he had a 250 bultaco in his garage but did not know much about it. After checking frame engine numbers it turn out it is a 1979 125 bultaco. Does anyone know how many of them are out there.
  16. Google. trials trumph 500 twin. [as if you need to be told] Triumph must have changed them every two weeks and not just every year like now.
  17. So if spending £1000s on moding makes no diff why do people do it. Had a go on a Cub felt nothing like pre 65.
  18. True but a good rider on a standard pre 65 is not going to win the pre 65 scottish.
  19. How long will it be before twinshocks are as modified as a pre 65 where the person with the deepest pockets wins. Some people are almost there
