majesty

My Ossa cantilever.

Mike, If you P.M. me your direct e mail address, I can send you a scan of the wiring diagram with colours, if it helps

I think if it has the upswept pipe it will have originated as the enduro version. Mine didn't smoke this much Sorry I can't help you with dating/identifying the bike from the frame number, but maybe somebody else can help

The Rickman Enduro ISDE version was mine - a great little bike. If yours is the MX version I guess it will be one of these : https://motocrossactionmag.com/classic-motocross-iron-1971-rickman-zundapp-125-metisse/

R.I.P. Jim. A lovely chap, always willing to help.

As per earlier posts, the kick start needs to be vertical in order to avoid punching a hole in the flywheel casing

Yep, Magura, I think

I love the Rickman Trials. I remember with great "affection" those handlebar grips that hardened up in the cold Yorkshire winters,

Yeah, dim and distant past. It was a 125 and the thing that sticks in my mind was how well it handled..

Found these photo's in my photo reference collection, but can't recall any details about them. Plus a photo of my ex Army ISDT Rickman Zundapp Enduro - a little belter it was

Being quite tall, I always thought the handlebars on my Majesty were too far back. so I cut the bar clamps off the top yoke and machined and welded them back on inline with the fork legs, and it steered a lot better

Thanks....... They were Preston Petty's but I'm not sure they still do trials guards. Worth a google though

Speaking of the most beautiful music........ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3jCFeCtSjk

Fantastic to hear that again. I really miss Lowell George

My trusty Seeley Honda.

Proper trial .........

Nice pics Brian. Thanks for posting

Couldn't find a dedicated Majesty thread, so I thought I'd post some pics of my Majesty 320............

I know the Greeves traditionalists always poo poo'd them, but I found my Pathfinder really competitive.

Had a couple of "clockwork mice" back in the day

Daft question but, I assume you have got the oil pump disconnected/removed and the manifold oil inlet hole sealed ?

Has the bike been standing for a while Brian ? It sounds like it might need the crankcase oil seals replacing
