After seeing the video,s of Cabrianes and Robregordo i knew i had to have a twinshock. The first picture is how i got it, not very good looking but the engine sounds great and the clutch and gears work. Started with painting the tank orange (sorry purrists) the mudguards will be painted in orange or i will go for the grey color like on 348mate,s great looking 349. Will try to post the progress here maybe it will help others in the future Looking for advice on rear shocks i,ve seen some real nice Betor ones are they any good ?

That will be a very light part Kot i,m sure if they use an autoclave to make the parts they will be very strong and light ! The "real" Raga bike is awesome in that it has so may small things helping to put the weight down. Please post some pictures here i would love to see the tank ! Cheers,

just found out my airbox is cracked and it,s melted on the exhaust side. Will repair the crack with some epoxy and fiberglass should i protect it for heat while at it ? or is there a problem with the exhaust being too close.

found it in the spanish manual i think. The one to the middle is the gearbox and needs 300cc of SAE-90 the clutch side needs 200cc of SAE-10w40. If this is wrong or have better suggestions please post it here

Kot it all depends how much are done the most work is in making the molds and i need a 1.5 liter tank to copy ofcourse or make a copy of my 2004 gasgas tank.The fiberguys don,t have parts, you give them the part and they will copy it. But let me check with Andy first about this please Cheers,

i agree it will only help the top guys but people also buy Raga replicas. If you can save weight on something why not ? i think the new raga bike has a 1.5 or 1 liter tank now. If there is intrest i can have tanks made in fiber/kevlar but i,m not sure you will gain much and it will cost. New to trials but not new to motorsports and the last kilo,s lost allways cost the most

remove those east german made decals off your gasgas saves 140 gramms man those titanium bolts are expensive !! they save 400 gramms i think ?

Feetupfun how much oil does the bike need please ? I see two fillers one on the side and one in the middle of the casing. Same oil in both ? Mexbiker we are in the same boat the middle one is stuck on mine too. I will remove the carb first to make same room and try again but i,m afraid it will break off like yours.

Great job Greeves !! do you have any before restauration pictures ? Cheers,

Mine still has the Hydrobags but they leak badly should i restore them (if possible ) or replace them with newer technology ? found some real nice adjustable ones at a fair price in spain. Bike is a bit of a mess it has parts from a few bikes but runs great ! not looking for a period correct restauration

Thanks for posting feetupfun and DabDab for the scan ! those pictures are great for references. This is a great thread with lots of information and having Greeves here riding one when he was 15 is pretty cool Keep it coming please

Very nice !! thinking of doing my frame in black but red looks very good too have to think that one over Cheers,

are you worried for scratches ? get some cheap vinyl at the signshop and cover the tank if you dont leave it on too long it will come off easy.

DabDab you can only do uploads if you are a site supporter here. But you can host them yourself on sites like Photobucket offcourse ! I can host them for you if you want ?

Thanks Greeves i got it now ! newbie here that need lots of info

sorry i looked at lots of pictures of the 348 models but still don,t see what "Hydrobags" are can someone tell me please ? DabDab a scan would be awesome ! Cheers,

I just bought a basketcase 348 myself but for alot less thats how i found this thread. I think mine is a MMR or has some parts of it, i will pick it up wednesday cant wait I think the 1800 is a high price for that bike i agree ! There were 3 montesa,s for sale here the last week all in the 500-750 euro price class not as nice as the 1800 eur bike but still a pretty good base. But Holland is a bit too far away for you i guess ? Cheers,

Greeves are you still looking for a 348 ? http://www.todocoleccion.net/montesa-cota-...6899037#descrip this one looks like a MMR i think.

Are you buying a new van or second hand ? if new i would consider the Vito they had problems with the pre 2002 cars. I think both are great cars but both have their problems it,s like asking here what to get a GasGas or a Beta

Eddie i cant sell them because of the logos and text from GasGas wich are copyrighted. Will ask GasGas when i,m done what they think about offering some decal kits but i,m afraid that will never happen. Cheers,

i like the GG idea ! let me try something with that. Biff i have a Mutoh 1300-S 1,45 meter max media but for this job i use 60 cm vynil. The stika is a piece of c&*p forget that one please ! I started a few years ago with a GCC Bobcat same priced as the sticka and not bad made for the money and it takes 60 cm media. Try to get a second hand Mutoh,Summa or Roland 24 inch machine would be my advise. Cheers,

I love Photoshop too but i have to do all in vector it,s just a bit more work. Second attempt but not happy with it the tank circle is too big and it just don,t look right yet. Back to Coreldraw

I like the blue ! maybe with a black frame ? or do a complete wrap of the tank in blue and cut out the txt pro bit. That,s what i like about decals takes 5 mins to make a completely diffrent look

i,ve been playing around with the tank and came up with this. I will try one longer that will have the holes for the gascap.

Thanks Bikespace i like the idea of using the footrests ! any info without pictures welcome offcourse ! i like to do mine with tips from this board and will post the pictures when done. If posting the pictures is a problem send me a p.m. please Cheers,
