  1. Thanks for the validation Ftup.
  2. Hi Folks, this is probably rudimentary for some of you, but I just want to get it right. Bought a new PBI dished rear sprocket (428x55T) and replacing what was on the bike (flat with no spacer, 428x52T) as it came to me. So when installed, teeth are dished away or outward from (to the left) the wheel correct? Chain alignment looks straight to me this way. Searched the original manual and could not get a good visual or printed verification from it. BTW replacing 14/52 with a 13/55 and new chain setup. Will be used mainly for vintage trials and general plonking. Thanks in advance.
  3. Thanks for the replies folks. I think my game plan will be to get a set of 5.5 jitsie fats along with a pair of V-Mar Montesa specific fat bar mounts. i was assured they would bolt right up to my stock triple tree and that would save me about $140.00 and solve my height issue. ultimately I was wanting a set of Renthal Trials 110's, but they top out at about 4.5. Has anyone with a 315r had any cable rerouting, etc issues with that kind of rise?
  4. Thanks jonnyc21 for the link and info. Just what i was after sir. Looks like i'll spring for a new top to adapt a Renthal fat 110.
  5. Hey folks, I'm a new member here, and to the trials scene. I started into the dirt scene late at 56 with a 17 350 KTM XCF and have thoroughly enjoyed myself, but I don't always feel like thrashing thru the single track at speed all the time. I do like to smell the roses at times. So here I am ? I just acquired an 04 315r and a 15 4RT recently and looking for a little clarification dealing with bar height and choice of. The 4RT has a set of S3 World Team Replica fats that I think i can live with, but the 315R sports a set of Pro Taper 7\8 Trials Lo that seem lower than what I am comfortable with. I would like to go with a fat bar setup and am trying to understand my options with this bike. I have scoured the forums so I have a bit of an idea of some of my options. If possible I would like to go with a Renthal bar as I've used them on my mountain bikes and love them. I see as a trials option they offer a 100 and a 110 model. Questions,..What are my options for a riser setup with the angled Montesa bar mounts? And did I read that these mounts can be reversed?..for any gains? I've not taken a wrench to these bikes as of yet hence the ? I believe that a 5" to 51/2" rise might get me to where I want to be. For higher bars my options are Renthal and Josie? Thanks in advance,...and sorry for yet another higher bar ?
