    would you have the Electrex  part no. for that please ?

    my own Beamish has its original ignition components, but they are all looking a bit frail ,

    and I expect its only a matter of time before the ignition plays up

    Try the owners club, they have a good total setup for sale.

    I believe my 74 TY still has the original reeds...is it advisable to change them for the reason stated? and is it usage or simply the passage of time that would necessitate their replacement?  thanks always, i learn so much here :)

    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.

    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.

    In need of a new Coil. the old one as broke were the HT lead goes in and being a captive lead its new coil time.

    I have found these more modern type where I can replace the HT lead if needed, but not sure on where the wires go on them?

    anyone know 

    cheers

    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

    She is a 1980 250cc 

    Has a lovely strong motor. 

    Had her just over 2 years and its been 100% reliable till last trial were I noticed the right side swingarm Bush was failing, that's what prompted me to upgrade.

     Thought I would treat myself seeing as my Swingarm are needs new bushes and a re-chrome.

    so I asked AJG twinshock Specials in the Netherlands to build me one.

    It arrived Monday, really well packaged and came with everything you need.

    weighs in at just 1.6kg, stock is over 4.6kg, also about an inch longer.

    Really pleased with it, should be on the bike sometime this week when I get time.

    Still a few 175s & 250s being ridden in my local classic trials. 

    One totally unrestored and still the original owner. 

    It's good to see them getting used and haven't become trailer queens like so many old bikes.
