  1. The bike photo with "Trail 70" on the clutch cover is part of a French magazine article and Trail 70 is the name of the French majesty importer. Looks like they are still in business http://www.trail70.fr/
  2. I can't understand what you are asking here. When I open the link there are a lot of photos of different Majestys and most of them are yellow
  3. I don't think he has a tiger cub frame. I'll PM you
  4. A friend of mine has some pre-65 Moto Guzzi Stornello stuff that might include frames (Central Queensland)
  5. I'm old and "not skinny" and for the first time in 2019 I bought modern style stretchy trials riding pants and absolutely love them. Previously (for over 20 years) I wore the one set of (very tough) baggy polyester MX pants that my wife altered the waist smaller so I could wear them, or my long cotton drill work pants. These new stretchy riding pants are so comfortable I wish I'd bought them years ago. What had put me off until 2019 was that the trials supplier webpages didn't list a size that I thought would be big enough to fit my thighs and there are no trials shops around here to try anything on. Last year a riding friend who also has big legs ordered in some to try them out for size for herself and I got to try them for size too. The first size she ordered were perfect for me. What I didn't know till then is that you can get sizes bigger than what they list on their web pages. The pants I'm using are S3 brand 4XL size and my thighs are 680 mm circumference
  6. There are photos and for sale postings when you search using Google Images. For dating your bike, if it has gold rims then most likely it would be from the same year that the bigger Italjet trials bikes had gold rims. Italjet trials bikes were only made for a few years 82 - 84 I think. I searched on "Italjet mini trials". Here's another photo
  7. Yes the chain length effect is real, but is a separate effect to the sprocket teeth ratio effect
  8. Yes the front sprocket takes four turns between the contacts. I said "every time the wheel rotates" which is the same thing.
  9. Maybe it is a variation of the recommendation to avoid having the small number divide evenly into the big number, like 10:40 or 11:44. Probably not relevant to trials bikes which kill chains with grit but apparently is important for road bikes that can do massive hours on a set of chain and sprockets. The logic is that it is better to reduce the frequency of repeated patterns of tooth combination. For example with the 10:40, the same tooth on the rear sprocket is in contact with the one tooth on the front sprocket every time the wheel rotates.

    OKO Carburetors

    Because this has turned into a voting session for OKOs, I'll put my vote in too after having great success with OKOs from Roger working perfectly on TY250A, TY250D, Cota 348 and Alpina 350 motors
  11. Why don't you just look for yourself? I already looked once and thought the price was similar to prices for exhausts from other places.
  12. I see Frankie Mountain sells new pipes for your bike
  13. If you can't find a decent second hand pipe and still want to use the Feked silencer, a new front pipe for your bike would be a fairly easy thing for a tradesman to make, especially if there is your old one to copy the shape from. As a for-instance, I've seen front pipes for Bultacos and Italjets made from pre-curved architectural tubing (thin wall stainless steel handrail material) that look excellent
  14. If you post a photo maybe someone can help
  15. Every ride here ends with a helmet soaked with sweat. I've not yet had a trials helmet that doesn't die of rust before something else stops me using it
  16. I have had a few Airoh trials helmets and they all suffered from rapid rusting of the metal parts even when I took precautions
  17. yes there are replica KT250 bars available that look just like TY175 bars. Search on Fred and Debs KT parts
  18. Trials bikes are kickstart only and don't usually have a battery
  19. Small job either way but expensive if it's a hole in the casing
  20. If you haven't just been riding in deep water then you probably have a leaking water pump shaft seal or a corrosion hole in the water pump housing
  21. Thanks majesty. I know there are at least 108 of them
