I never even noticed that before, mine is definately the original tank, maybe its because its a late model?? frame number: 82 09146 We need a Majesty expert....lol Scrumpy

The only reproduction Majesty tanks i have seen are fibreglass "correct me if i am wrong" The original ones are alloy "like the one on my bike" I am still supprised that no one has come forward with another chrome framed Majesty.....are there none left?? have they all been powder coated?? I used to own one of Norman Shephards works Majestys which was an early godden framed bike with the rear loop still going over the mudguard I sold this to a friend in 2001... and have been trying to buy it back, but he wont budge,, Scrumpy

Lovely bike, keep it as it is, ride it enjoy it and save up for the re-chromming. It doesnt need re-chrominng.....thats the point.. Scrumpy

Yes Seeleys are another story... i have had more than most...lol But i still have the earliest Seeley i have ever heard of.. frame number 1003 that makes it the third bike made, it has the larger tank that was used for the scottish,, i would like to find out who the works riders were that rode the first Seeleys,, i think this makes it very special... hard to put a value on If anyone has any info regarding to this i would be more than interested. SeeleyJack...ooops i mean ScrumpyJack

The only problem is i like to ride all my bikes....and if i fall off and dent the alloy tank it would never be the same again....!! not like the fantic 300 in the background,,, i can brake anything on that and i have spares to fix it...or after a year or two re-powder coat the frame, now the Majesty's frame is chrome so it just wears away.... so sadly these days it is an expensive ornament. Does anyone else out there have a Godden Majesty like mine?? I see Majesty's but not with the chrome frame... Scrumpy

Hi all,, just thought i would share some pics of my Majesty... i believe its a late Godden Majesty... everything is chromed, foot pegs , brake pedal, side stand, chain tensioner etc honest and un-restored, what do you think??? Scrumpy

That is a picture of my ty 175 majesty i sold to the french about 18 months ago...!!! Scrumpy

I thought the RS had an alloy swinging arm.... ask him for the engine number, it will have to start with RS250 if not its not an RS engine, keep me posted Scrumpy...

What is the engine number? it should start with RS Scrumpy

There is a guy on ebay selling new mikuni carbs for

The "valve lifter" is there to take the extra strain from the engine as much as making it easier to kick over,, if you chose not to have it conected you risk mis-shaping the circlip on the kickstart shaft, this will cause the kickstart to slip, which is a very common fault. You have to split the engine to change the circlip.... so my advice is to get it conected again. Scrumpy

If you phone Bill Pye (fantic dealer) I know that he has some rear sprockets for the Seeley,, I know this because after i bought his Seeley and all his spares for it he pulled them out and tried to sell me them seperatly...!!! SeeleyJack

A friend of mine who specialises in TLR's has said this sounds like a poor CDI earth,, apparently its a very common problem and is easily fixed in about 5 mins, I hope this helps SeeleyJack

I think you will find that Bill Pye still has some clutch baskets for the 240.... they are just expensive..

I use IRC front and back on all my bikes,, i wont use anything else. SeeleyJack

I just feel the need to give a mention to the passing of Bill Dale, he did more observing than riding over the last few years, and i last saw him as he punched my card at the East Yorkshire trial a fortnight ago... sadly missed. Scrumpy

Are you only changing the chain ... or the sprockets as well??

For the right price??

I have had five in total now,, and this last one i have has the large tank that they fitted to compete in the scottish 6 day, i am still trying to find out who rode the first ones made. .. I think it makes it a bit special Scrumpy

The RS200 has a stronger frame, both bikes share the same engine... The Seeley is the more exclusive So if i was riding it every week it would be the RS, but hand on heart it would be the Seeley every time..!! I have the third one made sat in my garage right now.. i am just getting around to finishing it off before i sell it.. sadly SeeleyJack :-)

I noticed the difference in the East Yorkshire... I couldnt keep up with him, where as last year he only saw my rear tyre for a few brief seconds!!! And you all know the training i do... (at the pub i mean) Scrump

A REAL bike won the Scott last year...... Hey Dom.. Is it true you have been barred from dougies trial school...? Scrumpy

Hey Denzil, you should buy a Fantic,, you might finish on a real bike...lol Scrumpy,

So John does that mean that you have the first two Seeleys made..? or you would like to have them?.. i heard they had left the country Scrumpy

Yes i paid a premium to get it there and then, and had a 600 mile round trip.. i saw it at 8.30am and was on my way cash in hand by 8.55am, ! "one of the joys of working for yourselfe" I get a real kick out of rebuilding bikes too a high standard, then selling them and moving on to the next project, but this Seeley is in the best condition out of all the Seeley"s i have owned, it has had very little use, so it will be an easy restoration.. watch this space and i will post some pics soon.
