I cant see there being any bad side affects , its a simple mod that just lets the fork leg drop down an extra 16mm

My towbar cost me £69 off ebay, German made. Luckily on my 24 year old Polo it has some unused sockets on the back of the lighting block. I just added some spade connections to the wiring on the towbar power socket and that was it. Had to drill all the holes to fit it, but again luckily VW mark it all out for you on the body, took me about 2 hours tops to fit.

you have a pic with the bike in the back of the Berlingo ?

Yeah the TY should already have Alloy rims I think the only one that my have had steel rims was the TY50

This 100% a lot of the trials venues where I ride(peak district) have no postcode and can be very hard to find, unless you have been a few times. so getting someone as a spotter out on the nearby roads wouldn't be a bad thing, to stop the emergency services just driving by.

Thanks that's nice of you to say

Yes its a steep learning curve, when you have never done any form of competition or even ridden a trials bike properly (Having only had goes on friends trials bikes back in the 70s) . I have surprised myself how quick I have picked it up, I just clicked with the bike after the first time I rode it.

These do 3 Mikuni carb kits for the OSSA, maybe have a word with them. http://www.allensperformance.co.uk/carb-kit/carb-kit-listings/

Looks like I have work to do after wasting 20pts by forgetting to take the club membership money with me. Learnt the hard way, check you have everything before you leave lol. It makes for an interesting rest of the year though.

Yeah doesn't look like the sites been updated for 7-8 years

Yes, I enjoyed it

Bikes on the trailer and ready. just having some breakfast and I'm on my way. cold but sunny day so far and no rain forecast

Yes I noticed that it wasn't in tmx. It reflects bad on them to be honest and riders will miss out by not knowing. I emailed them and they didn't reply to that also

I only remember them being Silver

It was one of the first things I got told when I went practicing on my Beamish Suzuki. oh you need to change the top yoke for the old Suzuki type and you need to move the pegs. so far I have entered 3 trials and won my class in 2 with the bikes stock setup. so yes are these mods really needed after all lol

rules from my local club. "Helmets, suitable calf length boots and gloves, along with appropriate clothing must be worn at all times whilst riding a machine at our events" the thin modern gloves seem fine to me and wearing no gloves just doesn't feel right after years of riding on the road.

Have always like the KT's Still a few being used at my local trials, one by a friend

If you cant find something you like , use someone like vistaprint to make your own design up, they do short and long sleeved shirts. that's what I did

Ditch the sports filter for now, if you have the stock air box? Or is it one of those cone type that replace the box?. If its this, is the filter bolted to the end of the carb like this pic lots of bikes don't like the filter right on the end of the carb, its better on a link pipe so further away. Its something to do with the pressure wave hitting the back of the filter and getting back to the carb to soon and messing the fuelling up. had it a few times on my road bikes, I moved the filter away from the end of the carb and everything was fine. If its a sports filter in the stock air box disregard what I have just said. Then start with stock jetting and then work from there.

No your being pedantic lol

Yeah cables aren't Beamish also lol You know what I meant

don't have any

It's an old trials bike and things have moved on from when it was made. I just don't really get why people are so preoccupied with making them ride like a modern bike. If you enter the right trials meant for that bike it's fine the way it is, that all im saying. I keep getting told I have to modify the foot pegs and get the old suzuki top yoke to make my Beamish Suzuki better, I'm well no I don't, I won my class with it the way Beamish made it, beating plenty of modded 70s n 80s bikes, so its fine as is lol
