I read a spanish version of YOU HAVE USED WORDS OR A PHRASE WHICH ARE NOT PERMITTED ON THIS WEBSITE. PLEASE DELETE YOUR POST/TOPIC. DO NOT TRY TO CIRCUMVENT THE FILTERS IN PLACE ON THIS WEBSITE in the summer with a test in it by former world round rider David Cobos and it came out well, just said that the suspension was a bit duff. Can't remember what they were riding it alongside, think it was a Sherco. For reliability, you'd have to see one get round The Scottish, I see on the entry list that there's an englishman and a spaniard riding them this year.

There's a great photo of him in action in Bernie's book if I remember right

It's a plastic base with foam on it, there are a couple of metal brackets at the back end to fix it where the mudguard bolts on. Don't think there's any metal in it, doesn't feel like it. There's a slot at the front end of the plastic which slides onto a short post which is held on by the frontmost mudguard bolt, you'd need the post and the countersunk bolt as well. You find that the footpegs are so far back that with the seat fitted it's not really in the way unless it's a steep climb. Ishy rode a Mont round the SSDT with one of those seats fitted that makes it look like a 'crosser, seemed to do ok.

I'm 6ft2in tall, when I've got the seat on mine I find that I'm actually perched right at the back end of the seat, on the mudguard. It does stop you sliding forward though. Never thought about hollowing the seat out, I actually made a tool tray under the forward end of the rear mudguard and kept the tools/bits in a section of rear inner tube. Worked fine for 3 years but burst my first rear 'guard in 4 years last week, I'll probably shift the tool tray over. Would be fine for enduros but I'm not sure about riding the Scottish with the seat on, , the front part of it adds a couple of inches to the height at the back end of the tank, it might whack your 'nads a few times...

yes, but somehow the frame has been changed to a modern Indian Enfield frame and still kept the original reg no, not sure how you could do that without grinding off the frame number and stamping the old frame number on the new one.

Can't remember, I just deleted it from my watched stuff in eBay the other day. It had a

It's been on eBay twice over Christmas, there was a spat between the owner and others as there's almost nothing original on the bike and the frame in particular has been changed to an Indian Enfield but retained the original reg, not sure how they got away with that one! This isn't any secret, the owner seemed honest enough with the description but a couple of folk took umbrage that he was advertising it as a pre-65 bike.

Mine's an early one, Oct 2003. I'ts got the longer actuating arm (done by the previous owner), the B & J Racing clutch plates and the three position lever fitted. The thing that I've done that's made the biggest difference is the three position lever (as mentioned by Bo Drinker) with the cable in the hole nearest the 'bars , also very cheap, although it does give a biting point almost at the full outward limit of travel of the lever. From memory, the engine end actuating lever on mine was lengthened by about 15mm. If you take the clutch casing off, be careful refitting it as the crank end feed oil seal had been damaged on mine by the previous owner. Turned out that the crank end had a bit of a sharp edge to it which I took off with an oilstone. It's still not as smooth as say a Sherco clutch but it's a lot better than it was.

I took my 125f round the Manx 2 day Clubman route in 2007, none of the sections were outwith the capabilities of the bike, only the rider! I had a go a couple of weeks ago on a 163, didn't really feel any different in the sections, bit more grunt through the bogs though. They're great bikes, mine's been through the wars since I bought it nearly 4 years ago and it's barely cost me a penny, they really are bulletproof.

You could try this guy, http://stores.ebay.co.uk/robbossrichdick, he's a trials breaker. He was selling a 'rare as' TYZ proper flanged tubeless rear wheel last week. Might be worth ringing him, Craig

Are these that rare? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=130275489527

Yeah, good on a road bike for long rides once it's set up but as 2/4 says wouldn't last a dog's watch on a trialler.

When it happened to mine, Lampkins sent me a CDI and a stator, charging me for both. He told me to try them one at a time, the CDI first, and return the part which I didn't need which he then refunded me for. You'll need a flywheel puller as well. In 2004 it was about

14/57 is the street gearing, that must be quick through the sections! Normal trials gearing (at least on the 125) is 10/57, with virtually everything being ridden in first gear. Give Birks a call re the fork volumes, the lads are very helpful with advice.

Have you seen Rupert Ratio's book on BSA Unit singles, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rupert-Ratio-Singl...8868&sr=1-1, there's a lot of info in there on the gearboxes. Sorry I can't be of more help, last time I did one of these was on my B25 Starfire in 1979....

Camping in October in the North? You Yorkies are well 'ard. My missus gives up the camping ghost at the end of Sept, mutiny on the cards after that! These might be of use http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/results3...ess&by=town

I've uploaded a few video clips to youtube, see here:

Check out this forum thread, it might help http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/lofive...php/t16005.html

That's the wrong one. That's the one for the 250, the 125 sprocket has a much coarser spline. Birkett motosport do them http://www.birkettmotosportukltd.co.uk/ but they will all be at the SSDT this week, you'd have to email them.

Most battery horns I've seen on trials bikes are the "Buddy Megahorn", around a tenner as in here http://www.bonthronebikes.co.uk/391-410067...8301cdb25bcefa4 and loads of other bicycle emporiums. It's a bit cumbersome to be honest but don't bother with the "Mini Megahorn", I got one but it's as good as useless, wouldn't pass an MoT for sure. The cycle speedos are ok but sometimes you can't get the magnet close enough to the pick-up, I had to make a magnet extender to fit mine. As far as being legal goes, is it not taking the p**s a bit not even bothering in the first place? All it takes is for one scunnered copper to put out the word for a purge and things could start getting awkward for the Club, and you'd all be riding round with full size numberplates attached getting pulled along with the road bikers for vehicle checks etc. Best to at least show willing in the first place, my pov anyway.

Mairi's been going on about this for ages in various posts, you might be too late to get the one through the SSDT as there was a deadline I think. Best get in touch with her pronto via the SSDT website. This is the latest reference to it in this article http://www.ssdt.org/sitebody/modules.php?n...icle&sid=96

There are quite a few campsites coming from the south: Red Squirrel campsite, on the backroad into Glencoe Village from the A82, turn off the main A82 road at the sign for the Clachaig Hotel / Glencoe Village. About 7 miles from start, close enough to village and Clachaig to walk. Glencoe visitor centre on the main A82 about a mile before Glencoe village has a site attached to it - 9 miles from start - haven't pitched here but looks clean enough, bit of road noise though. Invercoe campsite, Invercoe village (right on Loch Leven on the road to Kinlochleven about a mile from Glencoe village) - 7 miles from start, good site but not the cheapest, not much nearby in way of boozers since the Glencoe Hotel closed, nearest is Clachaig Hotel about 3 miles away. Coalasnacoan, lochside on the same south road from the A82 to Kinlochleven, very close to the furthest out sections on this side of Loch Leven. About 5 miles from start. Haven't stayed here either. Nothing in walking distance for grub etc. Blackwater Hostel, right in Kinlochleven next to the old hydro station on the way out to Pipeline. About 1/4 mile from the start, you'd probably have to book here as the camping area is quite small. Right in amongst the action, close to everything. Have fun!

Thanks Mark, see you in FW, Craig
