Thanks Perce, I have those tanks on my watcher list already Can't help being a bit suspicious as to why a company called "Scottish Trial" should be undeniably Spanish and not anything to do with Scotland at all. Have you used them before?

I've seen the links to the Italian site but can't find any info on where to get the big tank and seat. I'd like to try green laning before Fun Gestapo ban everything. Muchos Gracias Z.

You could ask these people of they have a seal to fit. http://www.billet.co.uk/index2.html What caliper make is it? http://www.mctechnics.co.uk can rebuild your shock for you, they're very good.

I'd now like to recommend Lead Mine Racing, not only did he phone up to double check what bearings I was runnning in the wheels before sending them, the service was fast and very helpful. Postage from NI to here was superfast. Thumbs up from me, very happy.

Thanks, I'll try that over the weekend. It don't have a fork brace BTW, USD forks generally speaking, don't have them.

Cool, car. 318? What's a Ribena? Hope it's not some kind of insect. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's a 383, the little sister of the 440 (a common engine swap)

The forks on my Climber are a bit "Donky", by that I mean then need a bit of weight over the front befre they go "donk" and a little more, then they go "Donk" again. When bouncing them furiously they seem ok but they're not too smooth on the low speed stuff. So far I have: 1) Slackened off the yoke pinch bolts and bounced the forks hoping they'd line up. 2) Used a ratchet strap to wind the forks right down, then slackened off the pinch bolts a bit, this helped a bit. 3) Loosened off the axle clamps and shifted them round a bit to see if it would fall into position. 4) All of the above in unison. Any ideas? They are USD forks that were smooth as silk apparently before I pulled the bike to bits to put in the boot of my car after buying it.

Superb! Just called them on 028 9044 9181, they had the filter AND wheel bearings so it's in for a treat Thanks for that, much appreciated.

Oooh, how much? Is the filter in good nick?

Seeing as no one on the planet seems to sell Aprilia Climber spares, I decided to bodge my holed air filter. I just removed the soft sealing lip from the filter, chopped up a Vertemati filter so it was roughly the right size, stuffed it into the airbox so it took up approximately the same area as the old one inside, tucked what was left outside the box under the subframe spars, positioned the soft lip taken off the old filter on top and clamped it all down with the airbox lid. The hole in the original was made by those stupid spreader things in the airbox lid, the carb had fine grit round it, compression seems to be ok so I'm hoping the bore has escaped unharmed.

Nah, Dodge 880 Custom, 1965, here. http://www.zanx.net/mopar

Thought I'd better introduce myself. Just got home with an Aprilia Climber in the boot of my Dodge and am planning a trip to Berkhamstead at some point to see what's going on. Ribenas are on me Oh, anyone know who sells Aprilia spares? Ta.
