Any suggestions on improving the braking on tiger cub front hubs. At present used on a B40. The brakes are useless. Help please.

Elvis, Cheers for that will try them. I await a price from a local delivery service a mate rccommended will let you all know how i get on.

TFT, Have bought a Merlin from Honda RS, to keep the Cagiva's company. More projects. Thanks for the pics

I notice from previous posts some people are using 'Sammy Miller' Oil tank braced struts, which I assume neccesitate the alloy petrol tank. Does this make the the bike a oil in frame type and not legible for Scottish Pre-65? If it is acceptable, is this beneficial to the side alloy tank. Any comments. What forks are you people using on your bikes, Pre-65 only.

I noticed a tlr also for

Thanks chaps, problem is now sorted. Ended up with 110 mains, 36 pilot and mixture screw 3 and 3/4 turns out. It was a duff plug causing the stalling. It also had 33pilot and 108 mains. Needle id is now D49 (alternative supplied needle), mid clip, and it seems to be running fine now. Thanks for your replies guys

Original topic A trials rider i knows is interested in a Sherpa 340. What price can he expect to pay for a mint one. Any pitfalls to look for ?. does any one have one for sale ?.

Have done that a while ago, no information unfortunately. Will try him again.

Can someone please confirm what items are legal for pre65 scottish. I am rebuilding my cub at present and would like to keep within these regulations. i hope at some time in the future to compete in the event. I know I am stirring up a hornets nest but I need to know.

TFT, thanks for that more pictures to study.

Honda RS E-mail me with photo's and price required. Is it a 199B, comerfords. Extent of restoration work required. Thanks

If i use the 16 T primary. What sprockets do you guys reccomend using. Bearing in mind the 64 may get snagged. I have at present 17T front and 58 T rear will this be ok. Save me some cash, as these are all relatively new.

Thanks for info. Easier for me to get castrol and atf. waiting for me prices from Ray to get going. Have ordered falcons. Hopefully get more parts ordered at weekend and steaming ahead.

Booma, The bike is a credit to you both. Excellent.

What oil for primary side. What oil for gearbox. Any reccomendations greatly appreciated. Also oil not to use.

I see that some of you have fitted 16T Primary duplex sprocket. How does this compare to the standard 19T. I was going to leave my standard primary at 19T and fit the following 13t Gearbox 64t Rear sprocket 420 chain. What do you think.

Gaff, I had a set done for the Cagiva, which are not available., pinstrips names and blocks all scanned from old tank.

Cheers everyone, I called Ray Small, he is sending me up prices etc. He tells me I can mark and cut casing for his adaptor plate but will have to cut of gearbox teeth with plasma to remove through adaptor hole. This will save me from splitting cases. I have access to machining equipment and cutting tools so that is good. My swingarm is already wide apparently so that is also less cost. Full steam ahead this weekend.
