I also have always had motorbikes of some description from a early age, never done a trial yet but will join a club next year. Soon to be 54 and last year had a stroke that took my right leg. I have recovered but now look at things differently now. So get out there and enjoy !

It's more likely for mileage as insurance are hot on it . The more you do the bigger the risk and load you for it

Found a picture of a bike I had 40 years ago. When I was 13 , dont know who built it ? I loved it anyway lol

This is same type , 1979 ,

Hi all can anyone tell me what these shocks are??

Keep it up theoldstuff. You have done well to loose that much of the bike. I spoke to mick Andrew's and he put holes everywhere in components.

Not that bigger job , just made a jig to drill rear shock mounts out. You can see the old mounts and they were cut off . Have got a swing arm to swop over from the home made one that's fitted. Biggest job is removing the extra bits welded round the seat tubes ect. Sam brownlee informed me they used a AR50 Kawasaki shock .l

It's on a linkage but must have been direct mount at some time.

This is my majesty, as you can see it's been some what altered. I personally think not for the better. It does not work . Hope you have better look with yours . I never did this and I am in the process of removing it all.

Yes , it's the yam frame, the gussets are still in place and you can see the old mounts through the frame tubes . They have been cut off and dressed back.

Hi all, I have been working slowly on the majesty , I need to replace the shock mounts after the original majesty ones have been chopped of when it was mono shocked. Has anyone got a picture so I can see how the welds should look. .it is the mounts through the tubes I am interested in .

I have located a set of girling units as fitted originally but these will be saved for now, I have had contact with norman who will sort me out a set as required, with correct spring rates ect.. I am not a trials ace, I could buy more expensive but it's more about period bits !

Thank you all for that , I can now make a decision on what is required, will get some orderd and start removing this monoshock , sam brownlee informs me they used a kwac AR50 shock when they converted it..hopefully will get her back to twinshock asap and working as it should

Hi all , it seems there are lots of different rear shocks out there, some rated at soft and super soft action ect and i am 95 kg so need stronger spring rate to go on the shocks . I would have said you needed stiffer shocks for stronger springs , what do you find works best??
