Have you had a look at the new Honda Trials site. There is a link to the site under the same heading in the Honda forum (below). Some manuals are available to download.
A lot of standard TLR's seem to 'sag' a bit at the back end. The reason I like the shorter shock mod is that it gives a bit quicker rebound, saves a little weight and is quite easy to complete although if you have a good set of the original Showa's, they do take some beating.
I had 2 minutes on a modified 200 last week and it did not feel much different to my standard 250. I do run a modified swing arm with the shock mounts moved to accept 340mm units. If you keep them set fairly stiff this jacks up the back end and has the same effect as the head angle mod. I was unaware that lack of grip was a problem.
Did the Gollner mod's only go as far as the frame or was any engine tuning carried out? I've heard a rumour about cam and gear ratio tweeks but may be just rubbish.
Has anyone seen or used an aftermarket replacement for the RTL alloy rear box?
The WES and DEP units appear to be very popular on the Tlr's, anything similar for the RTL?
