  1. Went to Rhayader last week to see the Classic experts trial. Welsh tv channel S4C were filming, you need to go to 14 . 25 for the start of the action. Enjoy. http://s4c.co.uk/clic/c_level2.shtml?series_id=506052044
  2. Does anyone here know the ideal amount to modify (steepen) the steering head angle on a Honda TLR200. Bike will be stripped, pegs lowered etc, while it is coming apart may as well do the head angle. Thanks in advance.

    Tlr250

    Certainly looks like a TLR, the 250 has a separate fuel tap screwed to the frame, the pics are a bit dark to tell 100% what engine it is. The cc is stamped on the front of the barrel at the bottom.

    Tlr250

    ME04 is XR200 R. http://blog.inmycab.com/xr200rmatome/753/
  5. You could try Drayton Bantams, Jim Pickering. He had some but may only be for large spline?/
  6. Many trials bikes do not have V5's . Not a problem if you buy from the seller at his house and all the numbers are intact. You need to go through the registration process, fairly simple, your local dvla office will want to inspect it after you obtain an MOT(daytime test if no lights fitted) (on the frame number) a dating letter and some insurance, again on the frame number until you get the new reg number.
  7. Trying to find any info on this event. There is a mention on the BMCA page but not much else?? Is it just okay to turn up ??
  8. I fitted Falcons to my Bantam, first ride last week, can't fault them.
  9. Sorted it, don't google it though... http://www.hawksmotorcycleclub.org.uk/fixtures/
  10. Does anyone know what happened to the Cheltenham Hawks website?? trying to find Sundays results, the site has been down for a while, also can't find their FB page??
  11. I don't think there is a t/r set that will go straight into a Bantam headstock, you need to sleeve it to take a bearing.
  12. Around 1984 /85 a batch of ty125s were sold in the UK when the learner law changed. They were possibly a cancelled order for Europe, I remember as I worked at a bike dealer and we had a load in. They were a bit gutless for trials compared to the 175 .
  13. No Jon, they were a bit vague as to whether I could get in, I was late enquiring, also had some problems with front brake set up, sorted now so Bantam should be good to go....
  14. You won't have time to p*** about with Landrovers when the production line gets going.....
  15. And that "M" word helps it a bit..... Majesty or Mug take your pick...
  16. Thanks for that, I wasn't aware of the ratio difference, is it all or the higher gears ?? I will be using Fantic forks and yokes and changing rims the other bits are not a problem. I feel a trip to Shedworks will be on the cards.....
  17. Everyone must be watching 20 overpaid w*n***s kicking a bag of wind around.
  18. Besides the rims being steel and fork diameter being different are there any other big differences between the normal Honda Tlr 200 and the Reflex ?? Just bought one which will get the f/pegs dropped a set of Marzocchis etc and a rebuild.
  19. is anyone here using a Delorto carb phb 25 or 26 on a Bantam ?? Just wondering what jet sizes you are using. I have had it bored to 186cc with a Suzuki piston. Have tried a 25 which was off a Fantic 200 , it may be past its best, started okay but didn't run too well when warm, also a 26 which I believe was off a Gasser, the jets are the same ?? again starts okay, may run a bit better. Not able to take the bike out yet just getting sorted. Thanks in advance.
  20. Okay thanks, do you know if the TY 175 engine changed through its life?? I don't think it did but not 100%.
  21. Which year/model DT Yamaha 175 has the same crankcases as the TY. A friend is trying to locate some cases or bottom end, also what is the gripe with the TY when the k/start returns too far and puts a hole in the clutch case? is it a return inside?? Seen it before but can't remember why it happens. Thanks in advance...
  22. Thanks Jon... will you be riding the Ariel ??
  23. I can find the dates for this event but no other info, (Jun 30 / Jul 1) has anyone any links or info on it?? Hope to have the Bantam usable by then.
  24. Not many kits sold for the TY, it was a better bike out of the crate. More sold for the Honda TL, which is being re produced today.
  25. I remember some gears were made for them, I thought they were converted to mono ?? I sold a TLR recently and regret it now.
