Should be two types of head gear, nice flat cap for the summer and a wooly hat for the winter. IMHO and some sensible sections to suit....... 😉

The Showa bearings won't fit the other shock.16v are larger OD and wider, hence bushes are different.

If it has a Olle shock it will need the correct bushes. The spherical bearings are different from the ones fitted to the Showa shocks.

If you want it to last, suggest you grease the tensioner pivot,dogbone bearings (inc ones in swinging arm)and the wheel bearings. Others have found the steering head bearings to be a bit lacking of grease as well. Hope this helps.

Wrong way up/upside down...............

Spot on................

Dennis_Cambodia https://www.jauce.com/auction/o1076309551 This would help you (in Japan with other stuff as well) may be easier than sourcing from UK......

Not in the slightest.............

Couldn't agree more, used them loads of times and are standard fit on some applications that I can think of. M7 kits are quite cheap but would stick with either Re-Coil or V-Coil for quality.... e.g.https://www.lawson-his.co.uk/recoil-35078-replaces-35070-pro-xl-m7-x-1-0-metric-coarse-thread-repair-kit p.s shouldn't need loctiting either. IMHO

I don't regard education as a hassle really. I agree with a certain N.Mandela who said "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." 🙂

e.g. Rear reflectors are not needed on motorcycles that: do not have front and rear position lamps fitted.

I understand where you're coming from and I guess as a trials rider your bike will be in tip-top mechanical condition so why not arm yourself with the relevant information to challenge/educate any tester that doesn't follow the testers manual correctly. All the info is easily downloaded from the government website and clear for all to see what is or is not required to pass. Most of which has been discussed on this forum in the past.

Why a "friendly" test station? If the bike meets the requirements of the test it should pass anywhere..........

6004-2RS (in the parts list)

TYOFFROAD pistons are Japanese not chinese I beleive. Why don't you speak to Colin. He is THE man with TLRs IMHO

Talk to Colin at TYOFFROAD - I think he has oversize ones. https://www.tyoffroad.co.uk/store/c19/ENGINE_TLR200.html

eBay item number: 304021044269 China though..................

The swing arm bearings seldom need attention but the ones you really DO need to check (and the ones I was referring to) are the ones that attach the arm to the dogbone linkage. If neglected will cause damage to the arm. Plenty of info/pics on line showing what can happen......................

These are not full compliment and are NOT the same as OEM............... Agree about the grease though.

Dogbone and components are the same. Unless dogbone is u/s just change bearings and seals, from bearing supplier and if collars are needed (probably will be) availible from Honda. I note that the H&D one doesn't use the same bearings as OEM - should be full compliment needle rollers really. IMHO Attached 4RT parts list (same No's as 315) Hope this helps. PS don't forget the ones in the swinging arm! DOGBONE.pdf

Suggest you try and get dating proof elsewhere - VJMC maybe...............

They are not stamped, only the riveted plate - same as TLM260.............. DVLA need to be told that they were never stamped I guess.

Hamm. Have sent you a message.

It is not the colour of the body that denotes fast or slow (bodies on all dominos that I have seen are black) it is the colour of the tube that denotes fast/slow. White fast - black slow. Hope this helps.

As above, but there is a level plug to ensure correct amount of oil..................
