Hi there. I'm going to fit a new bashplate to my montesa. I see CSP do one and Mitani do a few too. Does anybody have one of these fitted so I can see from underneath the bike what extra they actually protect. The bike is actually a brand new 2020 bike that some guy had as an ornament and I would like to protect the underside as best I can as my local practice area is all streams and rocks. My beta is scuffed to hell on the frame near the foot peg hangers. I would rather avoid the same happening on this lovely mont.

Hello. I've just bought a 2020 4rt 260. Was wondering how people route their front brake hose cable. Mine is clipped to the top of the fork slider and from then up it is not routed or clipped to anything. I'm worried the hose will snag on something i.e tree etc. It doesn't look like it simply passes through the headlight assembly like on my beta, or does it ? Does anybody have any photos how they have done theirs? There doesn't seem to be any space on the headlight to mount a hose guide. I'm sure it shouldn't be free floating as it currently is. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. That is very helpful. What is the suspension front and rear like ?

I've got a 2019 Berlingo k9 swb van. Bike fits like a glove on a diagonal. Even fitted a little pod so I can have a cuppa tea when I ride.

I'd like to know this paint code or a suitable alternative too. In regards to the stickers I bought some jitsie stealth stickers for my 2020 Evo. They will fit your bike.

I think it helps keep the sport accessible and competitive as pretty much everybody is riding on the same tyres. Trials is one of the cheapest motorsports and having everyone riding on the same tyres means that ability rather than expenditure will give all riders a fairer and more equal role of the dice.

Yes the ankles are soft but it's trials not Motocross so I like the flexibility. The ankles are well cushioned yet supple. You won't be disappointed.

I have size uk15 feet. The only boot company who do a UK 15 is gaerne who do a EU 50. They are the biggest trials boot you can get. Quality boots if you get the oiled waterproof type. Not cheap at £260 but last year's if you oil them regularly. I hammer my boots every week and then jet wash them and they survive. Buckles and catches are now more plastic than they use to be but still a good boot. You can have the sole refitted too as they sell the soles separately. Gaernes get my thumbs up through default as they are the only ones that fit me.

Thanks for the response. I've ordered a complete as3 lever. I can use the tip kit as a spare for when I next decide to argue with a rock.

Hi there I snapped the tip off my Evo gear lever. Couldn't find the spring amongst the leaves. Tried an as3 gear tip but it doesn't fit the OEM lever. 2020. oem lever isn't compatible in how the spring fits the lever. The nub of the gear lever is solid. As3 do do a complete lever which is cheaper to buy than the OEM, apico and jitsie versions and looks more solid too. However their advert says it only fits evo's up to 2019. I wasn't aware the splines on the gear selector are different are they ? Is there any other reason? I think it's a mistake as the jitsie versions and apico say they fit all year evo's. Any idea?

Thanks so much for your photos. I can't believe it fits in. Is it definitely the swb you have ? It's like a TARDIS !! Would it fit without the top bulkhead removed ? Do you just roll the bike in or does it need a lean to the side to get it in? Thanks once again for the pics .

Many thanks. Gaz

If I could see a photo from the back doors that would be great with the bike in situ. Thanks

My Mrs is tiny and my son is 7 so I'm not too worried about the size of the seat. She hates being in a car with me anyway!!

Do you mean you remove the upper part of the bulkhead?

Thanks for the info. I would really like a 3 front seats van style type. I think the doblo only comes with two front seats.

Wow. I am amazed it fits. Do you have any photos from the back ? Have you removed the bulkhead to get it in or dropped the passenger seat ? What year is your van ?

Hi there. I'm currently thinking of selling our motorhome which is also my motorcycle transport. I just want a small van with 3 front seats. I've been looking at the new shape Citroen Berlingo and Peugeot partner 2019 onwards. It seems they come in a short and longer wheelbase. I was wondering if anyone has any experience and maybe photos of fitting their trials bikes in one of these vans. The long wheelbase one can probably fit a bike in straight against the side? Can you fit a bike in the short wheel base model ? I see part of the passenger seat folds forward. Can you get the front wheel through there ? Have people had to remove the bulkhead to get bikes in ? I would really appreciate some opinions and photos of bikes in situ. Thanks.

Ive fitted an apico lanyard this time instead of the leonelli one. It looks like the metal disc is crimped in on the edges rather than glued so hopefully it will last longer. I jb welded the leonelli one and it never came off again.

The only reason I want the kill button as well is that I found the lanyard Magnet's have a short life expectancy and quickly unbond. I've been through 2 already. Therefore the kill button would isolate engine whenever needed and the lanyard would be the rare but inevitable parting company with bike .

Yes i may do that at a later date. It sounds relatively straightforward how you explained it. Thanks.

I wish I had read that earlier. I've just finished fitting the lanyard kill switch on its own. I just replaced like with like. Thanks anyway.

Will that not work ? My limited electric knowledge suggests the kill switch is just a on off switch so by cutting into one wire and fitting another on off switch it should work ? I would be grateful if you could tell me simply what I should do. On my current kill button I have one brown and one black wire. How should I wire in the new lanyard so that both work ?

Thanks for the response. Will what I'm planning work then or not ?
