TL250 is the donor. I’ve seen some on a tlr200 that appear very similar and may be easier to find than TL250 units. I did find a local TL250 but I have to buy the whole bike to get the clamps, situation is not that dire, thanks for the help!

Can anyone recognize/ID these fork trees? They're on a TL125 with 34mm KT250 forks but the clamps are from neither of the above. The top unit keeps cracking so it's time to try to locate a replacement. Thanks for any help! John in NC USA

Looks like plenty of life left on that sprocket. How many years did it take to wear it that far?

Got a couple shots here on this computer. You all know what a Mont 4RT looks like, here's the Bultaco (as found, tarted up like a 199B), the '61G3C and the RTL.

Greetings all, I've been lurking and realized I hadn't said hello so here goes. I'm John French and live in NC USA, I've been riding trials since about 1990 (I'm 61) and currently have about 5 or 6 (or 7) trials bikes. My modern bike is a 2016 Montesa 4RT 260 and in order of next oldest they are 1985 RTl250 Honda, 1980 199A Bultaco, 1977 Ty250D Yam, 1975 Tl125 Honda, 1966 Triumph Cub and a '61 G3C Matchless. G3C is too nice to ride in dirt so I had to buy another that I can crash in a section and not cry too much. It's still very much a project so it will be a while before that one sees a trial. I have my own small shop so I can do most tasks myself. I'll get back to studying all the activity here that is interesting to my projects but will speak up when I can't find an answer, thanks!

Greetings All, I'm a little late to join in here but wanted to add a point about Uncle Sam making laws to protect Harley-Davidson by requiring all bikes sold in the US shift on the left and brake on the right. The fact of the matter is that Harley-Davidson made Sportsters, their best selling model, which shifted on the right side from their inception in '57 as did the predecessor K model flatheads. The law that standardized control placement was a result of accidents and deaths from riders unused to different control configurations and not to protect HD as it required them to make changes too. " Uncle Sam makes new laws to protect Harley-Davidson" makes a much more dramatic headline, I agree, but it is not what happened. Now back to your regular Trials programming...
