Preventing Your Trials Bike Getting Stolen?
I always lock my bike to the trailer and have a bolt through the hole in the towing arm so you can't get the trailer off the car. A friend years ago didn't and while he went in to his house to open the gates his bike was nicked off the trailer. He was gone about 30s and someone had it.

Boyesen Reeds, Worthwhile?
I would and did with my 38 year old Beamish Suzuki. I went for hytech reeds in mine and at just £14 it was a no brainer. In fact they are for a ty250 as no one makes them for the Beamish and as the Beamish Reed block is almost a direct copy of the TY Reed block they are bolt straight in.

Boyesen Reeds, Worthwhile?
How old were the stock reeds. If there old as in from back in the day. Then it's wise to get rid of them anyway. If they fail because of age they will take the piston n barrel with them. At least if the fibre reeds fail they will do no damage.

Novice question about adjusting preload
You want about 10mm sag without you on the bike. If you have it set with no sag the shocks top out and it will feel horrible.

New swingarm
I weighed the old setup and its even heavier that Berry the guy that made it said, maybe because i had the one out of the silver engine bike in mine(with 2 alloy spaces to make it fit) my setup is 4.6kg so a big saving
