Air cooled mono class should mean the 245 sells better and has more options to compete. The key-roo is beyond reasonable expenditure to restore, plus they were never very good to begin with.

I want the forks for a twinshock project and dont need the Keyroo. Also the keyroo suspension is genuinely better between these two bikes.

I have a Fantic 245 (monoshock with conventional forks) and a rough key-roo (1993 model with purple tank and red side scoops, although it has a later alloy middle box fitted). I wonder if it is possible to take the entire USD fork from the key roo and fit to the 245, does anyone know if they are a straight swop I am most concerned about the steering head length and bearing equivalence. The same question goes for the rear suspension unit. Are they the same length and fitment? I know I could strip both bikes to find out but think it is too much effort to find the answer is no and have to rebuild them again. The reason I want to do this is the key-roo suspension feels much better than the very soft on both ends 245 units. Any help most appreciated as fantics are not really my thing and specification data seems hard to come by.

Many thanks for the image, I will now do mine in the same way. The colour of my tank is a little darker but in light of what you wrote above I will just add the stripe.

I have an early 1975 325 Sherpa fitted with a UK spec Homerlite alloy tank seat unit. It is the same as fitted to the bike on the Haynes manual cover. It needs a respray so have two questions: What are the colour codes or description for the silver and blue paints. Does anyone have a period photo on how the silver stripe is painted on the top of the tank around the fuel filler cap. All the photos I have seen only show the side of the tank or the handlebar on full lock masks the view. I have seen one repainted tank that ends in a point behind the fuel cap but I wondered if the original design looped around the cap and if it did how close was it to the cap. Many thanks

Including bonus, indoor start money, I wold guess Bou 300k, Crabby 150k Pure speculation on my part

Thanks, I was thinking of EBC,will try to find some.

It is actually a twinshock, there is an identical unit right next to the one you can see.

Saw it at Soultz trial,goes well but is certainly weird.

The colour scheme does it no favours. A bit of mish mash in my view.

I need to replace the clutch plates in a 305 engine. I am looking for a direct take up, modern style, so sharp rather than soft. What would you recommend? thanks

I hope the translation of 37 billion euro was an error or was it run by a Greek accountant

Any reason he was not in the results Presume he did not start.

Quickest way to get a new brand on the podium, hire Raga

Heaven forbid a long liquid lunch on expenses, who would think of such a thing.

Top bloke! When he gets totally used to the bike he should be even better

Back garden?

Tuition is a good start, a small bore engine such as a 200 or up to a 250, I would buy a 3 to 5 year old low hours bike to start with. Above all have fun!

I was really happy when my 349 was stolen, got a TY mono as a replacement. I remember it was long so very long!

What bikes are you riding? Modern or classic?

Usually yes he is a great rider

I rode Bens bike for a short time a couple of weeks ago. The brakes felt totally normal for a drum, powerful and progressive. Although I did not try filled with water and mud, which were prevelant during the actual trial. Ben won the expert class so I guess they must have been OK!

Or an indication of the true value of an item and the markup at point of sale

They are worth more in the region of £1500 to £2000. I hope the seller is aware of what a rare machine he has. Yes parts are really difficult to get hold of!

Why not put on the correct ones?
