Are these the same bearings that fit the Fantic 201 headstock? Mine have rusted and collapsed and there is nothing readable on any part of them apart from what looks like portugal. I have found some that say they fit the 301 and a fiat 500 front inner wheel

http://www.billetpar...up-c-41_52.html while looking for new fork top nuts and engine breather i found these. the fork top nuts are about £8 cheaper than any others i have found.

Does anyone know where i can get a pair of spring or circlips to fit the inside of my 35mm marzocchi forks? I have all the components together now but dont want to start putting them together till i have the circlips. Would a pair of 47mm circlips from ebay do the trick? I would just like to find the plain spring type if possible. Thanks

sorted. a few gentle taps from underneath with a pair of open pliers and they came loose,flew across the shed actually but job done

yes thats more or less it. i have stripped the forks and took out the circlip and removed the rod assembly but the new forks came with the alloy bushes that are in the middle of your pic. i just want to dis assemble my rod/bush assembly to use my rods with the new bushes and circlips that came with the forks. maybe i need to get my hammer out!

I will do my best to describe my problem. I have some new fork tubes and they came with a bush and circlip fitted but no damper rod. by looking at my old damper rod i can only guess that it comes apart from the bottom (the bit that takes the bolt through the bottom of the fork leg)If i hold the rod with grips and the bottom bit as mentioned above with another pair,i can get them to move around freely but they will not come apart. Please can somebody point me in the right direction as i am proper stumped

its a 201 i think,the engine and the frame both say FM350 on them. it is a mono shock rear with a disc up front and a drum at the back. the engine is 156cc and forward kick. i emailed ABE about fork tubes and they said a re chrome for one stanchion would be

i have just finished stripping the forks and had a surprise the left leg had 2 fork seals in it and the right one had 3 one stanchion is in good condition but the other has some pitting. i will degrease and paint and fit new seals but i think i will have to fill the pits with chemical metal or something. what quantity of oil should i put in? one had no oil in and the other had about a teaspoon of brown water. the engine is back together so when i have the forks sorted i will start on the frame. am considering blasting and powder coating if i can get away with a cheap repair to the forks. fingers crossed it should be getting dirty again by july

i was just wondering if fantic 35mm fork tubes are used in any other bikes? they are rare or very expensive or rubbish when they arrive from ebay re-chroming is too expensive so i am looking at fitting anything that will fit i am that desperate to get the job finished any help or advice would be much appreciated,ta very much

hello guys n gals,does anybody know where i can get the rubber joint that joins the silencer to the main body of the exhaust. mine is rotten,would any thick piece of rubber do?

as with all fantics it will be the splines on the shaft that are ruined. a quick fix is to weld a kickstart on there but it really needs an engine strip and new shaft (about

oh yes,the 2 cms of movement are due to the fact the spring is snapped about 2" down

well i managed to get one fork seal out (completely destroyed in the process)and there is another one underneath! i think i will just leave it there as it is doing no harm.

update.i have separated the fork with 2 cms of play in it and it looks like it has 2 seals in it. is this correct? i am going to give them a good soak and clean before i remove the old seals but all seems to be going pretty well at the moment

I have just bought a pair from ebay and am confused! they are both a bit leaky so i will be fitting new seals and oil but one of them has about 2cms of up down movement before any spring resistance is felt! surely this is wrong. is there a diagram of the fork internals anywhere i could ave a look at? also,ebay fork seals are 35x47x7 but motohaus leak proof seals for the same thing are 35x47x10. i would like to get the seals before i start pulling them apart so i don't have them lying about in bits for ages. another also! any info on weight and amount of oil per leg would be appreciated. ta very much guys n gals.

Visit My Website if this works i will be amazed,no idea how to put pics on so am trying to use photobucket.

Hello for the first time I am rebuilding a Fantic 301 (it says in the side panel anyway) but the piston looks small for a 250. I measured it across the top and it is roughly 62mm across with one ring very close to the top. It has the wrong forks on at the minute they have the thumb up sign on the side so i guess they are from a bultaco. I will be pulling it apart and stripping painting and replacing broken bits. The kickstart had been welded on and it was the wrong one anyway! After grinding it off the splines don't look too bad on the shaft (fingers crossed) After cleaning all the muck off the engine case i found the engine number and Fantic 350. It has a red frame and monoshock rear end with a conical hub,the front has a drum brake but i suspect this will be from the buktaco along with the forks. Does anybody know what size puller i will need to get the rotor off if i need to split it to fit a new shaft? I bought one from ebay which was way too big M32X1.25,there is a 17mm nut holding it on but i have not disturbed it yet. Will this be anti clockwise to undo? This is a new thing to me as i normally stick to road bikes so am learning as i go. It's pretty rough at the minute but it's all there so that's a good start,oh yes the piston has a B on it at the rear so that might mean something to somebody. Any help much apprecieated
