As above , the rider is the entry , not the bike , although your skill level and bike will be placed against like counterparts ... Thats alot of the beauty of trials .
And I've watched a pro or two on my trusty old Fantic do things with ease and finesse , that I couldn't do with Bou's bike and minders !!!

So Did you dig something interesting out of the dark hinterlands of Dickson ... ???
Or just looking for something unique ?
Glenn

I've got them on the fat bars on my fantic , with a metal domino throttle tube (little bit of dremal work with the metal tube ) but after more than one or two good face plants it still works super smooth and light
Glenn

you can buy bolt on adapters for fat bars , The ones on my Fantic only raised the bars about a inch ...
Glenn
-
Yes , Fantastic photography ... Wish I was there
Glenn

Can't you use your existing hubs with new bearings and just lace up some shiny new rims ??
Glenn

Gentlemen ;
Good luck with the event , I hope you have a great time !
And Tony , are you going to break out the RE ? (I love that old bike ...)thump thump thump :banana:
Have fun and keep your feet up !
Glenn

I've used them , good quality plastic . In fact there is a spare white set out in my shop , along with another red rear for my son's TY80 that I made the exhaust cut out a bit to large ...on the first one !

How long have you been waiting to use that photo ?

NeilH ;
Nissan motor Co. (cars) parts departments sell a gold colored paste(PBC grease , I think is the name ,there's a bottle on my toolbox at work.!.!.) for application to all of the metal to metal contact points on disk brake pads , Similar to the lube you got years ago when you purchased factory toyota pads . Apply just a wee bit to the contact points on the back of the pad and where the ends of the pad slide in the bracket and your noise will go away . The squeek you hear is a harmonic vibration between the pad and its mounting points and the caliper , amplified by the rotor . the lube dampens the vibration and the noise won't be heard . And it also allows for better heat transfer so your brakes last longer and work better . Scuff your rotors with a coarse scotchbrite pad and brake cleaner , then install the new pads . I personally wouldn't even think of resurfacing a rotor on any motorcycle ... They wear out fast enough on their own ... (IMHO) And be sure not to get any of the lube on the friction surfaces !!!

Made the local news and all ...
Fantastic job , looked like a blast .
Glenn

Totally true ! IMHO
Just a waste of $$$ not to do it all at the same time.

Glenn

Lot's of smiling faces !!!
Glenn

Well at least you show some sense and use 'moto cinch' tie downs .....
Congrats and have a blast , KEEP YOUR FEET UP

I've never used a AB kit for a trials bike linkage , but I have used their kits for mx bikes and quads . Always complete and top quality parts.

( and you get cool "all balls " stickers !!!)
