  3. Can someone identify these forks ?

    Posted · Edited by bsa4life

    Thanks @section swept @ourian @potto @2stroke4stroke @faussy

    you guys are spot on .. it seems like suzuki DR200 etc , i got them for some part exchange. i would like to use them if possible. i have another drum brake wheel as well 

    if i want to use it on bantam . i would like to lower them a bit. i think they still very high for trials bike. 

    thanks again for your quick help 

    Regards

     

     

  8. twinshock trials come back ?

    A Beta looks like a Gasgas looks like a TRS? To an unpractised eye, that's true. But going back to the old bikes, a Triumph twin looks like a BSA twin looks like a Norton twin. And a Francis-Barnett looks like a James looks like a BSA Bantam. If you're an enthusiast for a particular type of bike, the differences are obvious. If you're not, they're not.

    i might be more biased towards older bikes. but i still believe olders bikes were different from ground up ( frame, engine , sounds ) were distinctive  , FB and james shared Villiers engine

    i agree everyone have its own taste and liking , and i respect that.

    Come back in what form?? The old twin shock bikes still have a good turnout at events and even special series with just twin shock. But new twin shock production bikes will never be seen unless you build one. Or buy a Harley twin shock bikes are all the technology they can handle

    I mean to say if they will be production again. i agree the Twinshock have good turnout , but their prices are increasing rapidly and becoming collectible items.

    Hi 

    Will twinhocks bikes will come back ?. I love the older british bikes since childhood

    i can see lot of British manufactures are making the bikes again ( Triumph, Norton Brough Superior etc ) , 

    i like the newer models .. but they are missing the character , most of them look the same. Sorry my opinion only. 

    Regards
