  1. Hi Guys

  2. Recently i have moved honda xl and enfield bullet in friends small van. . Moved the bike in van from back wheel first .. keep the front wheel hanging in the air .. while i was holding the bike from back wheel

    Remove the front wheel push the bike back .. put the front wheel on ground adjust it to van wall and bike .so bike wont move .. you can put strap for better hold ..

    We havet notice any damage to forks so far ☺☺☺

    I hope this helps regards

    Thanks for your feedback. i know what im looking is best of both worlds. i just want to use bike at its max. when i feel like going off road go for it and then back on road. I dont have any trailer and my 1999 yaris hardly pull itself.  having Van is not affordable. :)

     

    @Japes1275

    Thanks for your feedback. Pirelli MT43 seems to be good option. 

    by the way i am planning to put two sets of footrest on the bike , one for road use. and other one bit back for trials use.  sorry these are my own ideas . :) .

     

    Regards

     

     

  4. Hi Guys 

     

    I will be converting slowly royal enfield bullet road model to trials bike . 

     

    I know in trials bike world 18 inch rear wheel is almost standard. I am thinking of putting 4.0 x 19 Trials tyre on my Royal enfield bullet. as they are availble from vintagetyres.

     


     

    advantage i see i dont need to change RIM/spokes and tyre price is reasonable as well. 

    currently i dont have plans for any completetion.

     

    what are the drawbacks of using 4.0 x 19 tyre . 

    > any problem in riding if using 19 Inch type

    > do i need to make any changes to swinging arm

    > any restriction from clubs to not allow 19 rear wheel 

    > any other ideas 

     

    Please advise

     

     

    Regards

  5. Hi Guys 

     

    I would like to know . how to convert Triumph T20 Road Frame to TR20 specification

    I believe swing arm will be wider/length .. Is there any changes required in the frame. 

    if someone have some measurements that will be great.  any info will be helpful.

     

    Regards

    Quite true . We need plenty and afordable british bikes unfortunately which are not available anymore .. i wish we can re-manu facture complete engines again .. or may be get parts made cheap from india/china on same pattern..

    Sorry this my view only. Just want to see them for next century i passionate about them since childhood regards

  7. Hi Guys 

     

    Picked up the 1957 Royal Enfield Clipper frame & Bullet incomplete engine for long term Trials project from auto jumble.

    I know guys are using crusader frame and bullet engine .. not sure about clipper . surely it is lighter frame. 

     

    Question .. does the frame need lot of modification. does it worth doing it. 

     

    Regards

  8. Another reason to look for different engine. i think i was out of track after seeing feather weight frames & ultra tuned engines.electric ignitions  ,

    all the bits i have seems out dated. ( big old tanks/distributor type engine. no electric ignition. heavy duty frame no roller coaster bearings )  

    with no big money backing  :). and family responsibilities . i will try to build with what ever i have   :chairfall: . & do things 1970-80 style
