  1. 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
  2. Some pictures from the trial, Suspension felt better, just moved smoother (needle rollers doing their job).
  3. Just about ready for a 2 day trial this weekend.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. there is a link in my Beamish facebook group. sadly i cant post links here as they get deleted. so just do a search of beamish Suzuki enthusiasts Group
  8. Some lovely countryside to ride a trials bike in Yorkshire UK. Hope you enjoy the Pictures, I usually add a few pics of the surrounding countryside so you get an idea of where its located.
  9. Brilliant day riding with a trials legend, learnt a few things, hopefully, i can remember them all lol.
  10. thanks, yes i like the colour also. she runs really nice, i have that iridium plug,hy-tech reeds(they are TY250 reeds but there a straight swap) and a ramair high flow air filter . it pulls like a train and has been 100% reliable the 2 years i have owned it, its used in trials every month so getting a lot of use. the 360mm will probably make the chain rub on the swingarm, so get a protector for the owners club if you intend to keep them on.
  11. The plug I use in mine is an NGK BR7EIX Iridium. Bike runs great on them, been using them the last 2 years with no problems. The Shocks are 340mm(34cm) The OZO expert trials shocks work really well on my Beamish, they are a good price also from Inmotion trials shop

  13. Thanks for the kind words. I really like going to these trials and have no real interest in taking pictures & vids of more modern bikes. These are from my era of growing up in the 70s, I also ride in Classic trials events run by Peak Classic Trials Club on my trusty Beamish Suzuki.
  14. Midland Classic Trials 29/4/18 Rhodesia Worksop
